Welcome to the club, although at this point it's becoming frustratingly monotonous. Due to anxiety and some mild-moderate PTSD (professionally diagnosed), I can't relax. Period. At any given waking time I'm devoting a considerable portion of my brain to suppressing this stuff so as to remain functional/normal. If I try to relax past a certain level, I have to break the suppression and the anxiety/shit keeps me awake and basically really fucking pissed (meaning I start getting really vivid painful memories and start beating the shit out of the nearest inanimate object that won't injure me when I hit it). Don't get me wrong I'm pulling out all of the stops to get rid of this shit, and even in the worst of it I'm lucid, but all stops are not, fixing this shit takes time and, to paraphrase a cliche, life has no fucking pause button.

Basically I'm just waiting till exhaustion kicks in.

Sorry if I depressed anyone, felt good to type that. 🙂

*hugs irishScott in a straight non-gay way*

It's ok 😛

Your situation sucks though. I'm just going through a breakup with money/exam stress, so my shits all temporary 🙁
 
Yeah. I accidentally took a "brief" nap Sunday afternoon after spending some time on campus working on two presentations and another project. That nap lasted more than 4 hours. I'm figuring on staying awake straight through to tomorrow; and I've got to give one of those presentations tomorrow at 11am, following another class.

Fun times.
🙁

 
I've been up for 24 hours because I don't feel tired and I will probably stay up for another 16 hours, since I have nothing to do today.
 
I fell asleep at 11pm and woke up at 3am... couldn't fall back asleep, so I just watched Dexter and Californication then went to work.
 
omg I think you guys and your stupid insomnia threads did something to fsck me up. I didn't go to sleep until 4:30am, and between then and now (8:30am) I've woken up countless times. I DONT KNOW WHY I'M NORMALLY A ROCK-SOLID SLEEPER I HATE YOU ATOT

I've had sleep apnea for years, and would stop breathing if I didn't sleep on my side or stomach. I avoid 90% of the problem if I'm careful how I sleep, but If I roll over on my back in the middle of the night I wake up from dreams of suffocation or drowning, gasping for breath and disorientated.

In the last year it's been getting progressively worse. I can't sleep laying down at all or I wake up gasping, frantic and in a mental stupor. When I look in the mirror the whites of my eyes are highlighter red for a few minutes from low oxygen levels until my body recovers. When I can sleep I have to do so sitting up and am very happy if total exhaustion allows me 3-4 hours at a time.

I'm always tired and always grumpy and often end up taking it out on my family. I'm calling my doc later today to get a sleep study scheduled and I feel like an ass that I haven't taken care of the problem earlier. Anyone with medical problems that keep them from sleeping should do the same. I've always wanted to die in my sleep, but not just yet.
