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.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
