When You Cannot Sleep What Do You Do?

When I can't sleep I either hop on the internet or watch TV. If I watch TV, I tend to want to munch on something. If I log on I don't munch on anything just drink a glass of milk or soda.

Yes I plan to try it again. I would love to take a break but my demon are within and not anything I am able to brake from. The problem is severe Post Tramatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and it's evil cousin severe anxiety.

Yes I do have great memories of life up to a point. But starting in the 80s and continuing through the present my life has pretty much been in the toilet.

Oh no, Joanne! I've known many different people who had PTSD and anxiety for different reasons, and I've helped about twenty to overcome it... it can be done without psychological blurb, just like insomnia can be overcome with technique...

I won't ask your history online, but I'd be glad to talk to you, about your times or about things in general; so, if you ever want to chat, just add me onto some sort of messenger, or send an e-mail or something...

Melatonin is actually the natural drug IN TURKEY that makes you
tired.

:-(, I went to bed at 10, got up till 11 and I cannot sleep.
It's NOW 1:22, MY MIND KEEPS RACING about STUPID things
such as WHY THE HELL are people so violent. Then I start worrying
about myself, what if I become like those people. Then I start
thinking about what these ppl did (for example, kid down the street
was stabbed in the neck by someone who tried to rob CVS for Toothpaste)

Stupid crap like this keeps me up.
But I have a lot of "important" worries too.

Reading a good book makes me NOT want to sleep.
Sound makes me NOT sleep (my walls are very thin)
blah blah, help me Dr. Phil! :-)

I worry about stuff like that, too. I've come to the conclusion that we all have violent impulses; they trick is to be aware of them and control them.

For example, here's a post I'm not proud of:

I thought about editing it out, but I've let it stand just as a reminder to myself that 'it' is in all of us. (I should probably add an apology, though).

So I hope you got some sleep in the end, and don't worry. That these thoughts occur to you at all is an indication that you won't become one of 'them'.

By the way, I believe 'osso' is correct in that tryptophan is the relaxing substance found in turkey.
