I'm here! (I wish I weren't). I am so tired, and I have so much work to do. I should just go to work and try to be productive with this insomnia, but for some reason I never do it. I just stay home and toss and turn and then come on here and type. Maybe I'll try to go to work tonight and see how it goes? Have any of you done that? Done anything productive with your insomnia?

Well here I am up at 6am and went to sleep around 1:30am- I guess that's not so bad for just taking a Klonapin and Sleepy Time Tea. I'm supposed to be taking newly prescribed Depakote, but since my shrink wants me to take Abilify during the day I am doing one med at a time...

I am here in California in the wee hours of the morning.

My sister upset me so much I had to put down the phone and let her fuss by herself...
Now I can't sleep even with a sleeping pill!

Lord Help me!
