Everybody has down periods from time to time even somebody working on developing a positive attitude like me. The key thing is that there for you when you are up against it.
Recently I have been suffereing with lack of sleep. I seem to wake up at 5 AM everyday at the moment for no apparent reason.
Last night/early morning I went to DS to talk about my disturbed sleep patterns. Later on a person who had replied to my post also wrote a post about not being able to sleep.
I wrote a poem in answer to that post that I would like to share.
' When I lay my head down to sleep I'm too aftaid to try.
Then in the day I want to sleep to make the day go by.
So is there any solace is there anywhere.
Yes there is I'm gald to say in a place where people care.'
Thanks for being there.

I kept waking up last night and falling back to sleep. Restless sleeps makes are minds restless and we start thinking depressive thoughts. Getting up is the best thing to do. I had noticed your early morning entry and thought maybe you were out of the country.

Actually I am on a different time zone 8 hours different but I still woke up at 5 AM this morning even in this time zone.
I am sure that being on a different time zone is also a factor in my sleep problems although I have been here two weeks now so jet lag should not be an issue.
What is probably more of an issue is that I have a life where I am always moving around.
I thought explaining this was a bit complicated so I simplified.

I LIKE THAT!!!!!!!! SLEEPING IS SO IMPORTANT, ONE CAN HANDLE THE DAYS TASKS SO MUCH BETTER WITH A GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. I TEND TO HAVE NIGHTMARES SO WHEN THEY WAKE ME UP, ITS HARD TO GO BACK. I ALMOST HAVE TO RELAX A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE I EVEN GO TO BED. OR HAVE TO TAKE SOMETHING!! LOVE THE POEM!! :)

restless nights waking up at all hours every couple of hours in fact, took me a while to admit the truth but im scared my partner will try suicide again so when i wake up i check she is breathing and still with me. hard yes...but at least when i wake up in a morning to start another day i know its something we can face together as she is still with me - so for me nto being able to sleep is a good thing as it allows me to check on my partner without her being aware and feeling guilty that i have to do this. dont know whether this will help anybody or not but i hope it can and if anyone fancies a chat then please feel free - we're all in this
