Thanks everyone for the responses!!

It's funny because I'm usually pretty forceful when I really have really strong convictions about something. I've been known to face down the big boss at work and tell him his idea is stupid and won't work. But at least in those particular cases I know what I'm talking about.

I guess I fall under the problem (that probably a lot of other people do I'd imagine) that you get to thinking or doubting your own issues... and if a doctor tells you that it's "no big deal" well then clearly he must be right. What the heck do I know?? I don't know anything... he's the one that went to school for this or has been in his practice for decades.

And as a side note: I'm wondering how immediate the melatonin is supposed to work. I took it last night and it made me SUPER tired... but I still couldn't sleep. It was so ungodly frustrating. I woke up at 2:30 and couldn't move, my body was so tired... but it still took me over an hour to get back to sleep. And then AGAIN at 5am.

And then your head starts working. And working. And working. And it won't EFFING stop working! "Ok.. I need to fall asleep. Am I asleep yet? I wonder what time it is. Hm crap, it's been 20 minutes and I'm still not asleep. Ok... and now.... ok so that didn't work. Maybe if I think about a river... or the woods... or taking a walk. Maybe I should get up and take a walk. Maybe that would help. Nah, then I'll just walk to the kitchen and eat something. And I've really been trying to lose weight lately... although I DID just have Dairy Queen for lunch. Yeah that was a fail. God these ear plugs are really hurting my ears. I should take them out... but yeah then I'd hear my husband snoring, that's no good either. Him being all smug and sleeping. Oh... wait... yeah... sleep. Ok... and NOW!"

And on. And on. And on... for over a freaking hour. How do you make THAT stop???
