I'm having a lot of trouble sleeping again. I can't fall or stay asleep. When I try to fall asleep all I can think about is how much I hate myself and that I should kill myself or cut myself. It makes it very hard to calm down enough to fall asleep. I am getting very frustrated with everything. I also think I am getting sick again. I just got over strep throat. Why is everything falling apart? I don't understand why I have to go through all of this. If I ended it all then I could finally have peace.
I just don't know what to do anymore.

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...
Secondly there a re a few good things for sleep, warm baths, or drinks, reading in a quite room or putting something familiar on the tv quietly, these work for me. If not try writing down some of your anxieties or bad thoughts before bedtime so theyre out of your head a little.
Running on less than 3 hours sleep right now my friend.
Death may seem to offer some comforting options, but it doesn't. If you want any rewards, you need to keep yourself alive. Have you seen a doctor about your feelings?
For sleeping, I have found keeping a journal helpful. I try to write in it before I go to bed, get my anxieties out and noting things I want to remember. Makes sleeping easier.
Also, I find the journaling, helps me get things out. Allows me to "do" things in a safe way to get them out of my system.
Also, I find loud music helps for the pain inside. Scream it out to your fears & demons.
PLEASE try this. RADIO prefferably talk. TV ON even if it is an infomercial.
