If you have no meds or are out of your RX, you might try journaling til you get all the thoughts out of your head and cry if you need to. I only offer this as a suggestion, but I hope you find the peace you need.

When that happens to me I make myself a cup of tea and a slice of toast and go to bed with a book--no t.v.--and before I know it, it's morning! Usually works every time. Hope this helps you.

I wish I could give you the secret to a good night's sleep.
That's my problem area.
Seroquel seems to do the best for me, but even with that, I occasionally pull an all nighter, or even a 2 or 3 nighters.
Lousy brain chemicals!!!!
Good luck. Sigh.

Do you happen to have an OTC sleep aid if you don't have an rx? Sleep evades me even though I take seroquel. Artsdolly has a good suggestion - warm tea (no caffiene) and I recommend a hot bath with a few candles.

peace, teresa

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
