I feel awful

I’m so tired yet I can’t seem to sleep more than 3-4 hours a night. I don’t nap because if I do, it gets even harder to sleep at night. I’m run down and emotional. I really hope my pdoc helps me on Monday

Sorry to hear that you can’t sleep. Occasionally I’ll go 24 hours without sleep so I know what it feels like.

I hope you’ll find a way to feel less tired with your pdoc.

This has been going on for about 6 weeks now. I have really dark sunken eyes too right now.

I’m sorry @LilyoftheValley . I hope that you and your pdoc are able to get you some relief. My sleeping is all out of wack as well. I did get a full “nights” sleep last “night” though. Didnt get to sleep until 7:30 am and slept until a short while ago.

Well sleep at a bad time is probably better than no sleep at all. I hope you get back on track

I went maybe four or five days with little sleep and became psychotic and very depressed. I decided my pdoc made an error when she decreased my medicine to such an incredible low dose. I am going to tell her when I see her in three weeks I have doubled the dose witch is what it had been. She went on a tirade the last time I asked to talk to her before our appointment and I have only done that with her a few times in the six years we’ve been working together.

It’s hard to stand up to her now without losing my cool. I understand though, it is a hard job. I have always been a little weak but I’m not going to loathe myself or anything.

My mind had just about stopped functioning, like I’d flatlined. Last night I slept at least 8 hours and woke up feeling so much better! It really makes me think everything is about chemistry even my bad acts in the past.

Mrs. Jayster took me to a resort in the Caribbean. Therefore, we met doctors and counselors on vacation. We heard a lot of doctors and mental health professionals say they had trouble sleeping. It was pretty affirming for me.

I have insomnia too.
It sucks.

Can you go to a dr who will prescribe sleeping tablets?

This is really horrible. Sleep is critical for one’s mental health. I guess you probably have bad anxiety at the moment which leads to your insomnia. Hopefully your Pdoc will see what’s wrong and prescribe you the right meds for your sleep.

I’m sorry @LilyoftheValley
I’m glad that you are going to address this with your pdoc soon.

My sleep cycles are erratic as well.

I fall asleep very late and get up very early usually.

In between I’ll get up suddenly a few times during the night.

My primary dr says that sleep medicine should be prescribed by my psychiatrist. But my psychiatrist doesn’t allow any patients to have traditional sleep meds @SacredNeigh7
