Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Today i am so blah- i can't seem to get going... been falling asleep on and off all day- which is not good considering i have a 1 and a half year old that i'm supposed to be watching... everytime i close my eyes i see the man who took my heart and ripped it out- and so sleep doesn't come easy i mean i am tired and i eventually pass out- but i can't stay asleep - been up for about two weeks now - running on 15 mins of sleep at a time and waking up when i hear any noise at all- the ac/heating unit kicking on/ the wind/ rain/cats / dogs- u name it and i'm awake and then i can't get back to sleep so i turn on the tv and watch it til i pass out again- dreams of my ex torture me- they have happened everynight since we broke up and its like my heart is being ripped out all over again - everynight... i need sleep before i crack- but i don't want to take pills cause i know i would get addicted- and then i'd be tempted to overdose- does anyone have any suggestions? i'm so stressed and tired right now and i'm trying to hide these bags under my eyes and drinking lots of coffee- but how long can i go on like this? its been a year so far on and off- mostly on- never thought sleep would mean so much to me - i used to say my motto was - i'll sleep when i'm dead - but right now i think i could sleep for about 3 days straight and then i'd be ok- but oddly i think i'd be more tired.... i don't even know what i'm saying anymore- i'm just babbling- anyways gonna go put the dishes in the washer and make some coffee and i'll be back... later gators....... anyone else wanna join me ?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Or even herbal sleeping tablets? They can help?
if i had a good doctor to go to i'd probably ask for a therapist- i think all my issues are just bottled up inside and i need someone who is not in my family or close to the situation to listen.... i have no insurance currently so i'm SOL on that- lol- but i do appreciate all the advice- much luv and big hugs! :)
The only thing I can say that helped me was to keep on telling myself that I shouldn't waste my tears on someone who wouldn't cry for me.
Have you tried lying down and thinking about a happy moment and take deep breaths, knowing that things will work out in the end, whatever that may be? It helps me sometimes.
Hugs and more hugs to you.
