I have been in an awful mood lately and nothing I have done can seem to get me out of this funk. I don't even want to be around myself lately! It so hard to deal with the thoughts in my head sometimes, especially recently. I feel as if it's not even my own thoughts. I can't control them, I just try to think more pleasant thoughts. Here lately the intrusive thoughts are the worst at night, so I haven't been sleeping much. During the day I am doing better at forcing myself to live a normal, productive life; but it still gets difficult. One day I am hoping that I won't have to force it. Maybe one day I will be "normal." All I know is that no matter what I will keep making progress. If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. But whatever you do, keep moving forward.

It's good that you are able to be positive like this; that's really difficult when you are having what sounds like a really difficult time. I too have intrusive thoughts at night. I can be really tired--too tired to even read for 15 minutes before bed--and the minute I turn out the lights and lay my head on the pillow, my mind starts racing, and I'm wide awake. It happens almost every night so that I have to take some sort of sleep aid in order to go to sleep (but my body is starting to get used to them and they're becoming useless). I'm starting to try meditation but, while I like it a lot and it works well for other things, it isn't so far working for sleep.
 Anyway, welcome to PC.  Keep posting!

I've had those same problems with sleep aids. I just recently had a doctor tell me about melatonin. It's just a supplement of a natural chemical the body makes. I take it when I'm having trouble sleeping and so far it has helped.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
