can't sleep

[raydeayon1]

Oh boy why can't i stop thinking about him ugh who else can't sleep tonight? because of our stupid brain focusing on stupid stuff.

[JamesSavik]

I'm there with you pal. My insomnia is worse now than it has been in years.

[layla]

I woke up at 4 this morning and decided to clean the house. yey insomnia

[Arpeggio]

Constant insomnia here.  

[Prince Duchess]

i have invested in sleeping medicine to help me sleep or else ill be up all night. Non habit forming of course

[raydeayon1]

Ugh i love sleep why cant i sleep

[rckclimber27]

I can't sleep either... just keep waking up about two or three times a night...

[Ashi]

The best sleeping medicine for me has always been....  Something inappropriate to say to queerlings in the open, but it's something I bet every adolescent boy would sooner or later discover....  It makes you sleep like wood....

[raydeayon1]

Queerings whats that

[Slytherin]

"There are often persons age 13 to 17 in our chat room. We call them queerlings"

[raydeayon1]

Lol ohhh haha

It comes and goes in waves for me. Last month I'd have nights where I was up till at least 4 AM, but lately I've been swinging back to closer to 2.

I felt the same when at times my relationship was at question. Why arent you sleeping you mentioned you are thinking about him what about him whats the current situation ? Maybe it would help to talk about it.

sigh....it's 3:30 in the morning, and i'm awake again.

[JamesSavik]

here we are again at 4:10 am

[layla]

yup, 5:32 here, sigh. but i am making progress on the chapter i'm working on...i hope, if it reads like gobbdygook later in the day, i'll know it was a bad idea to try and work on it this morning.

Sounds like you are letting him live rent free in your head Ray. You need to evict him asap for your own peace of mind.

 

You might try an exercise that worked for me when I needed a bad EX exorcism.

 

Start with a page with three columns:

 

1. In column 1 write down write down all the ways that he helped you

 

2. In column 2 write down all of the ways he hurt you

 

3. In column 3, write down the differences in your romanticized version of him vs reality.

 

Once you actually see the truth in print, it's easier to move on.

 

Don't blame yourself. Growing as a person takes all of these mistakes. Just remember to learn from them,
