Thank you Martin. I appreciate your reply.
Awake exercise is helpful to me in letting me know that wakefulness is a friend and that i have to allow to thank my brain for looking out for me. What I do is I imagine holding hands together and helping each other go through it together as a way of saying that its okay I already know.
But i have to admit that i am still struggling a lot at this time. It is still up and down emotions in a day for me.
Hi Genie B – thank you that you have been sharing your experiences and was very kind to give everyone encouragement. I too have been struggling a lot with my thoughts. Ever since i experienced this insomia it is hard for me to accept it. Sometimes i am kind to myself and sometimes i feel like giving up. But I am trying my best to live a meaningful life by eating even if i don’t have much appetite. Taking my supplements. Meeting with people or going out with family. Sometimes when i am out, i feel more compassionate with people who are alone and would have conversation with them. But to be honest it is really a struggle. I miss my old self who is always positive and smiling and full of hope. My brain and my body is always tired and giving me anxiety. I can relate when you said when you feel lonely and like you because of my spiritual Buddhist practice as well that I am able to get connected with the members and they give me encouragement to not get defeated. That I will get better. In fact even if I feel fatigue right now i accepted to go to a home visitation tomorrow to pray for each other. I know you feel the same way too, the support of your members matter to you.
GenieB – i needed your encouragement because i did not get sleep at all lastnight. I am hopeful that as i move along with this program that i will get better. I tried my best to get out and walk by myself in the park yesterday to encourage me to do things that i like to do. But each morning when i wake up it reminded me again of how i will get through with this every night living like this.
Hi Lizacollins007, you are so brave to be able to take out your meds. Encouraging to hear you are getting 5 hours of sleep. I pray to get there too as i didnt get to sleep at all lastnight. Baby steps…
Thank you GenieB for the encouragement! Appreciate the helpful tips. I hope to be able to share what works best for me too at the end of week 1. I am liking this forum, it makes me feel that someone is listening to me and exactly know what i am going through.
I am also new here. Just enrolled to this program 30 minutes ago. I am currently feeling anxious going to sleep tonight and hoping to learn more and be part of the journey with all of you. Feeling sad about this insomia that just suddenly happened to me when i came back from my trip. Everything just went downhill after taking sleeping pills that had a side effects on me and taking trazodone. I feel really lost right now.
