Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I have been out of my abusive relationship for 2 and a half yrs now but I still have problems sleeping at night. I will lie awake for hrs even if I am tired. I am just looking for some advice about what others do in this situation?
have you been to your doctor at all?
I remember some advice I saw on a a TV programme about insomnia. This woman couldnt sleep so they did a sort of experiement with her. For the first few days she was only allowed to spend 3 hours a night in her bedroom. She had to set the alarm even if she fell asleep. At the end of the three hours she was to go out of her bedroom and not return until the following session. Each few days they added an hour. Eventually she was sleeping a full 8 hours a night. In effect she had re programmed her mind. I will try and find some info on the net and post a link if I do.
