I've tried to sleep, but I just can't!! I've even taken sleeping aides but they make me drowsy but I can't sleep. Anyone out there have any ideas??

I work 3rd shift and have to force myself to sleep during the day. I usually just take Melatonin to help me sleep. Most of the time 3mg. does it for me. But if I've been very active before trying to sleep I take 6mg.
I've tried other OTC medications, but they tend to leave me groggy after I get back up. The Melatonin doesn't have much side affect on me.

Sweet Dreams :D

I can't sleep because, today I realized that my ex-girlfirend (just broke up 2 months ago) of almost 4 years is a not a good person and I am realizing that I wasted four years of my life (during college nonetheless) on her.

It is really messing with my head, whether she became this evil being or whether she always was I just didn't see it :( :confused:

You, also, do realize that you're wasting time thinking of how bad of a person she is, right?? Go to sleep bro, she's just another woman that crossed your path.

Hey, welcome to the club! Same thing happened to me, but it was a few years ago, not recently, and it was 6+ years of my life wasted. heh

It sucks, it is definitly one of those clubs that you wish you weren't in...

and people say men are always dumping on women and not the other way around, that is BS.

No amount of melatonin will compensate for that feeling.. The worst part is that if you confront her with it, she'll turn it around and try to make you think it was somehow your fault.

So, just how evil was this woman, if I may ask?

We broke up, then decided to get back together(on a trail basis EXCLUSIVELY JUST SEEING EACH OTHER the next night she basically stranded me at the bar, me not knowing where she was.... She told me that it was her friend's(a girl) last night in town and that she would be going home with her(they're room mates) Well I came to find out she went home with some guy. I called her the next day she had the audacity to tell me that she never wanted to talk to me again. (This is when I should have told her where to go to). We talked some since then I stupidly have been very honest with her and told her that I loved her and just wanted to be with her again and we could work it all out, She basically told me that she didn't wanna see anybody right now and she needed time to think. More recently on Friday (my birthday) we went and got something to eat, I saw that her cell phone had a wierd face plate on it so I picked it up to look at it and she said give it back to her. So I did and asked her what her problem was...... she said lets go inside and she'll explain so we go inside my house and she is messing around with her phone on the way in and I was finally like let me see it (because she was freaking ut about it). Well it ends up being that this dudes number is in her phone (that she was afraid I was going to see WTF) that she supposedly claimed was a friend of one of her friends etc... but, I know for a fact that this is some guy that she has been talking to her friend about possibly messing around with (she met him and who knows what she did with him while we were going out). She lied about the whole thing, I told her that I just wanted her to tell me the truth and that is all I wanted. She proceeded to sit there and lie to me about the whole thing. Then she went on to tell me that one way or the other she didn't care what I thought about it.

I think that I've been trying to see her as better than what she is, I think she has problems and I was trying to help, my friends told me to not talk to her and stay the hell away from her, I should have listened.

I also told her "I just keep thinking that if I could make you see how you are being towards me she would realize she is being crappy", she basically told me she didn't want to think about those things and she would rather ignore the reality of the situation because IT MADE HER FEEL BETTER.

Whoa, she is crazy

and pretty crappy way to treat me after four years of being together.....

Sorry, I got off work and didn't get a chance to read your reply..

If she's willing to throw you out like yesterday's garbage over some guy she met at a bar, there is truly no hope. If she's behaving like that, I don't see that there's any point in you losing any sleep over her, and I don't care if it's 4 weeks, 4 years, or 4 decades. I know it's tough, but if you continue to have anything to do with this girl whatsoever, nothing good will come of it and you will continue to be hurt.

Good luck!
