I need to go to bed, but I'm just in one of those funks where I don't want to and the meds aren't really helping much. I hate beds to the point that even twenty years later I sometimes just say fluff it all and sleep on the floor, my guy usually wakes me up and then I get back into bed. I guess the bright side is the new meds have helped with the dreams, but I think I need my antidepressant knocked up a bit cuz I don't really have anything to be sad about but I feel sad most days with no real motivation unless I have to go to work. Ugh and I need to find a new therapist and that is freaking me out, took forever to find the one I have and I have had her for years, but she up to nine adoptive children and falling asleep occasionally, which doesn't really work me. Okay, enough whining, going to suck it up and go to bed.

Hoping you find the “inner snooze button” and get some much needed and deserved rest. I just snatched what few hours insomnia wasn’t hoarding but it wasn’t enough. With you on being in “a funk”, it’s been “funky” for a while again but hang in there. Who ever took the “Fun” out of “Funky” needs to answer for turning it “Ucky”. Best of luck finding a new therapist & wish you didn’t have to leave one you trust. Sweet dreams, rest, and a soothing lullaby I send your way.

I've slept on my couch for a year because lying awake from insomnia there bugs me a little less than lying in bed awake and fuming because I'd crawled in bed committed to a sleep that just won't come. So I get why you sleep on the floor. Glad your new meds are helping with dreams, my one med is, too (Prazosin) and that's great provided I get to sleep to dream. Hope your antidepressant dosage gets tweaked right, and most of all, I hope your search for a new therapist pays off. Finding the right therapist for me took twelve whole years, but when I did it really made a difference.

You would think after twenty years of being me and all the therapy I had and group therapies that I would have realized I am not the only one sleeping in funny places sometimes, I didn't though sos for my therapist I haven't started looking yet, mostly scared I think, but seriously up to 9 kids all with problems ranging from baby to starting college this year, I think she is just overwhelmed and ran down, cuz she seriously nods off every now and then. Which of course isn't for good for m thank you for that. Lord knows I wish none of you had to do that shit. Ay therapy. Thanks for the support all.
