Night's the hardest, when I'm alone in bed with my thoughts. I've been taking antihistamines to get to sleep. I just want to be knocked out as quickly as possible. Even though it takes me a good three hours before I finally crash.

I've started eating a little big again, but I feel so guilty when I do. I've been looking up apothecaresis a lot, wondering if I were to choose to go, if that would be the way. But I fail to even manage not eating.

Sorry, I forgot something. I've been saying this negative prayer of sorts right before I go to sleep. It's gotten that I've become dependent on it to get any rest. Does this happen to anyone else?

I've also relied on antihistamines to fall asleep in the past. I can't now with my new meds and I'm also having the worst time falling asleep every night. At least 2 hours each night, if I don't go to the bathroom 15 times, then it's 3 hours.

I know how you feel. I am trying to say positive prayers to help me to sleep and tonight I will keep you in mine.

Ask Dr. for xanax! Works well... good luck .. also you can take valerian root ... all natural!
