Scary stuff happening

the dog wakes me up at 5:30 every morning to be fed & medicated. I usually have breakfast & my meds then & then lie down for a little more rest. This did not used to be me. I used to be a horrible insomniac up for the day by 3 am. Now I cannot get enough sleep.


well this morning I woke up with the most palpable dread I ever remember having. I’m sure his is a usual occurance but every time it’s like a punch in the stomach. I was ready to cash it in this morning & the urge was nearly irresistible. 


I chose to go back to sleep & I woke a couple of hours later. I felt relief tho still sad.  It was bizarre & scary & I don’t understand what’s happening & im afraid of my distintigrating mind

yes that happens some times you wake up with the feeling of doom and you do not know why. you went to sleep that is good. Sometimes I feel it is not me feeling that way but someone else who is sending their feels toward me I always know when my niece is feeling that way I usually text her to see how she is, Find out if someone who is close to you is feeling that way

I've never been on meds, so I'm not coming from a place of understanding, however, I wonder if they may need to be checked.

For me, when I can't sleep in general I get up and do something like read a book, work on my web site etc. etc. Something productive to get me out of laying in bed and let my brain go around and around.

Best of luck to you.
