My boyfriend and I have been living together for two years and in that time have always slept in the same room for the most part, as well as have both our computers in the bedroom too. He's got a new job and ever since he started it last month he's had horrible times sleeping. He suffers with insomnia and doesn't take anything for it. He can sometimes alter it and have good weeks.
He hasn't been sleeping so good for a month and have decided to get a second bed to put in another room so neither of us has to sleep on the couch when he's having a bad nights sleep. He says we'll still sleep together sometimes. He also moved his computer into the room as well. He says that when he's working (10 am to 4 pm) no one should be in the room. And he also would like a place to escape to when we fight or he needs space.

I'm happy for him and ... know that these are things he needs but it's very hard to accept because... we'll be spending even less time together. For fun he plays games on pc when he's not working and doesn't like doing anything else. So.... I just feel very depressed, and as much as I'm happy for him I'm also mad as hell because... I feel very alone and pushed away. I know he needs his alone time for work, to sleep well and have time to himself... but I was really depending on sharing a room because it's my way of dealing with the fact that he likes to be on the computer so much.

It's my second day having a room to myself, and I hate it and can't stop being so mad and sad And because I have bipolar and add and suffer with mania.. I can't stop thinking irrational things.

He absolutely should see a psychiatrist and get some sleep meds....insomnia really can be a struggle to deal with and dangerous as well. There is no reason to try and deal with the lack of sleep, and not knowing on any given day if he'll be able to get any rest that night.

Get him to see a doc

Or you can buy melatonin at a health food store. My husband loves the stuff.
