i can't sleep. my body's exhausted, i've been on the go since six this morning, its after midnight now... i'm aching and all tingly, but i lay down and my mind is racing and i can't sleep. nothing is helping lately, drinking, smoking, cutting, not even those damn sleeping pills. when i do sleep, i have really terrible nightmares. not just bad dreams, but disgusting, awful nightmares. i feel like i'm going crazy here. my period's late. i'm so scared. i called adam to let him know and he stopped by the other morning. said he was up all night cause he just couldn't sleep, he looked like shit. i know he's using heroin again. last night he called and yelled at me, i called back a half hour later, i hate that hes doing this to himself. he couldn't even hardly talk, didn't remember calling me. what if i'm pregant? he can't even take care of himself. i don't even care if we can't be friends, but he's going to kill himself. i'm so scared right now. i feel like i'm going crazy, even when i think its not making much sense. i lay awake in bed and i feel like my minds rotting. there's nothing good here. i'm so frustrated. thats not even it. usually i can get everything out in writing but there aren't words for what i'm feeling. i really think i'm crazy. i've never been scared like this. i want to sleep but i'm afraid to go to bed. i can't keep having these nightmares. i can't keep laying awake, trying to sleep, thinking, thinking thinking. cutting myself up cause sleep used to follow it. dammit, i don't know what to do with myself here...

Sometimes it works for me to get in that half-asleep, half awake area and talk through my nightmares, force a change in them. Only sometimes, but I hope it helps. Sounds like you're having a rough time!

I know it doesn't sound very good, but I have excruciating nightmares. Of memories, my cousin sexually abusing me, my dads first wife kicking the hell out of me. PLus night marish twists, like too much blood,or him raping me instead of just making me let him do stuff, and it scares the hell out of me. But the only way to get through it is sleep.
