Hey Diva

Felt I just had to add this. I found Progressive muscle relaxation part 3 under Challenging Worry. Also thought if you have a relaxation cd you may want to find a quiet place and listen to it. May add to helping you feel a little better.

Oh Diva my heart goes out to you. You sound so so miserable. Try to get a nap and then perhaps you'll feel like a shower or a bath and that in it's self is uplifting.

I have been writing all the things I have to do down in a long (very long) list then I take what I feel I can cope with for that day off the list and do just that one thing - today I washed the kitchen floor and nothing else. If I can't do things all at once then I do some, leave it and go back to it later when I feel ok to do it again. This works for me.

dear diva - no wonder you're tired, for you it was almost 2:00 in the morning! take care of you first - a nice hot bath! are you taking any meds to help with your anxiety? the generic benzos (clonazepam) are all pretty inexpensive and you can get from a GP. that's what i take, it's generic for klonopin, and it really helps, both with your anxiety and your sleep. you are not lazy or bad!!!! and who's to say what enough is? you rest up for the crappy things you have to do and then you rest up afterward. you can do it, one thing at a time, one day at a time.

Today I felt really sad and tired and anxious. So many things in my life are out of whack. I am exhausted and I can't seem to get anything done. Not getting anything sorted makes me anxious. I can't seem to get anything done or fixed. Anytime I have anything planned or anything to do I feel overwhelmed. I have things to do tomorrow and I feel completely overwhelmed about it.

My finances, my schooling, my marriage, mu house all a mess! Tomorrow I have too many things to do and I am overwhelemed and I don't know how to get through tomorrow!

I feel so tired and horrible. I feel guilty for not doing better. I feel like I don't deserve to do fun things for myself. I feel like I haven't deserved them I didn'T even manage to bathe today or yesterday. I feel so horrible. And I try to challenge my thoughts. And I try to stay positive. And I tell myself this will pass and I will feel better. But I feel so horrible.

Atm I am tired and anxious and overwhelmed. So many things need fixing and I have no help to fix them, I have no energey either. I don't know where to begin. I am tired and dirty and scared and overwhelmed.

I feel like I am doing everything wrong and as if my life is bad it is my fault. I feel like I don't deserve better atm. I feel like I should be managing more. I don't do enough. I am lazy and bad.

And I know this is all the tiredness and depression talking. But I am having trouble overcoming. I am overhwlemed by all that needs fixing and by how little I manage to get done.

Hey Stardust!

Thank you so much for your lovely reply! You are so right! The more I stress about this the less I sleep! So I should just enjoy my me time and enjoy the sunrise! Thank you so much for the change in perspective! I did need it!

I did get a few more zzzs eventually. As for hypnotherapy and all that, please keep me posted. Me I have bought a book on how to sleep better. As you said, it can't hurt!

Hi Diva

I also spend my life doing night patrol. It is dawn here and looks so so beautiful. Just think, if I had been asleep I would have missed it.

I have spent the last 20 years only having 4 hours sleep a night. I have learnt not to stress about it but rather to use the time to do some reading, meditation (that helps sometimes to go back to sleep), listen to music, just have some 'me' time. I find the worst thing is to lie and stress cause then it builds into worry, worry about anything and everything. If I can I have a nap during late morning and that helps to feel ok again (not always possible and then I just drag myself thro the day).

I have been looking on line a hypnotherapy sites and I am thinking of buying a sleep/relaxation cd. Never know it may help.

Hope you got a few more zzz 's

I slept 3 hours last night and yet I still can't sleep. I am starting to feel really poorly and quite negative. The lack of sleep is really getting to me. I am feeling very low at the moment. My thoughts are not pleasant. I can't seem to stop thinking long enough to sleep. I think I am ruminating and it is stopping me from finding sleep. Anyway, I guess I will stop venting and go. Hope you all have a better night then I am having.

Hey Breanne,

Thanks for the encouragement!

Hey Wildcat,

I do not think he is ADHD but what do I know lol! I know his brother might be (undiagnosed) and his nephew might be too (in the process of diagnosis), but not sure he would qualify for it. I doubt he is hyperactive though lol. HE gets angry easily but he is not really hyper as a person, when he is not angry he is actually pretty mellow! Anyway, as I said what do I know.

We did have another talk today. It went well enough. There was no screaming. That is a start. He did miss workk today yet again though...At least he went to his class! I am tired, have only slept like 3 hours. So that will be it for me today! Have a great evening!
