Oh Ivan I don't know how you cope, its extreme. I agree with your doctor, and go to the hospital, if nothing else they can put you on IV , strengthen your body again, give you nutrients and fluids you may need. I have only taken medication for insomnia once and it was horrible in the morning, but sleep is better than nothing and even though I felt yuk when I woke up I know that my body did some repair through the night whilst I slept. I have never had it so bad as what you have experienced. I hope things are better for you now. Have you tried alternative medicine It may help? I know for example that people with low vitamin B6 tend to suffer from depression more frequently, I eat heaps of raw cashews daily as they have B6 and rarely get depressed. I don't know I guess you have tried almost everything so this may be total dribble to you, but here's hoping things get better 🙂
I have to admit I'm one of those people who sleeps worse with my loved one. He snores and wakes me up. then its impossible for me to go back to sleep. I toss and turn all night and I finally I wake him up. Though he has no problem going back to sleep , he literally could sleep standing up, through an earthquake and typhoon. 😎
the term for Insomnia is definitely misused by most people who have a few days or weeks of poor sleep or no sleep. I went through about five years with very little if almost no sleep .It affected every area of my life not to mention my health so when I hear people say they are insomniacs and have only missed on a few days of quality sleep I do get a little peeved.
Fortunately for me I have been getting more sleep over the last 6 months so I'm on my way out of the sleepless nightmare. And I haven't had to take medication for it as other alternatives have helped me get the much needed rest.
So I would say I don't consider myself an insomniac anymore but a recovering one.. 😎
living in Singapore was life changing I met some really great people that I still keep in contact with today. Getting married was definitely life changing and having my son was the most incredible experience I have ever had.My most life changing event was when we decided adopted a baby daughter just when my son was 9 months.It was a now or never moment lucky for me my husband had taken a year of work to help me raise them.We couldn't imagine our life without her she is everyone's joy.
Yes they definitely work. Just like you train small kids to sleep I think in some cases we can fool our brain or teach our brains that its time to sleep. I stop watching telly about a few hours before I go to bed I read, have a herbal cup of tea usually chamomile, and then I shower and put lavender under my pillow, though my life doesn't aways allow for this type of routine I have found that when I do put this in place I have better sleep.
You made a young life happy for a time it obviously had an impact on him. That is always a good thing.(So hugs to you)
Hi Mike
welcome I found your introduction interesting its nice to have background info.look forward to your next post 🙂
I love to dance.Music starts and my arms and legs move on their own accord its frightening. I'm usually a closet dancer but do go clubbing and rock at Latin dancing. I must say I haven't tried waltz. Its rare to find guys who can dance well and who like it so you must be really popular when you hit the dance floor.
'Martin' wrote on '05:I thought it would be fun to talk about books we've read and really enjoyed – regardless of their subject.
One of my favourite books is 'Pillars of the Earth' by Ken Follett. Set in the middle of the 12th Century it documents the building of a cathedral in a fictional town in England. Regardless of how I describe this book, it may sound dull – but I can assure you it’s anything but. It was both fascinating and insightful at the same time. There's a sequel that came out a couple of years ago that I've been meaning to read for a while.
I'd also recommend ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini – set in Afghanistan it follows the life of a boy whose close friendship with another child is changed forever after an unspeakable event. Living with the guilt, an opportunity arises many years later for him to atone for his guilt. Incredibly moving and powerful.
'English Passengers' by Matthew Kneale is also a cracking yarn if you enjoy reading about exploration and colonisation.
At the moment I'm reading two books – Les Miserables (I try to read one classic every year) and Stephen King's 'Under the Dome'. I've never managed to finish a Stephen King book before (I prefer Graham Masterton when it comes to horror writing), so we'll see how I get on with this one!
Right, now it's over to you!
I love 'the kite runner' but at presently have turned my attention towards Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum adventures currently reading 'Ten Big Ones' her books are light and I can't get enough of her writing it just makes me laugh so much.
