How do you REALLY feel today???

Yeah I can't turn off either! It's so annoying. I take klonopin 4 mg. but it only works if I can relax enough to fall asleep...it does keep me stay asleep. It's allegedly supposed to help with my anxiety, but my body processes meds very fast and I told my pdoc it never has from Day 1...even tho allegedly that is a lot of klonopin.

I was given Doxepin as well but I tried it a few times, along with the Klonopin, and I can't tell any difference.

Do you think the melatonin does help you sleep, but knocks your system off kilter? I was told to try it but haven't yet.

Yes, the melatonin helps.. although it doesn't make me tired initially, like I'll take it and still feel the same and will think that it's not going to work but I'll lay down and just happen to fall asleep. Although it seems to have lost a bit of it's effectiveness.. sometimes it doesn't work that well.. I've been taking it for about 3 months now. I guess your not supposed to take it all the time but that's what I've been doing till recently. Also it's best to try to sleep within 30 or minutes. But yeah, you should definitely try it, it helps!

Aggitated.... wishing family and friends would not treat me like a little helpless child!!! I know they care... but enough is enough!!!! Just leave me alone in my bear den with my little teddy bear...

Scared and confused.

Stuck in low gear today, but otherwise okay...

frustrated...I want someone to go away but I have to see him, I have no choice, argh...he's just so charismatic and endearing that it makes me want to
I guess that's why I have liked him for 12 years.

Tired, at the moment. Felt quite depressed earlier, but now I feel more-less emotionless.

Numb, careless..

Up and down....

On a decent upswing. Hopefully won't come down till tomorrow or Saturday.

exhausted.... after a busy day yesterday i planned a duvet day today, but things didn't quite work out like that ... a parcel to collect from the sorting office before noon, a carer who insisted on me getting dressed and downstairs for my breakfast at 9am and a visitor at 2pm... oh well no rest for the wicked as the saying goes!

Embarrassed, exhausted, like I should stay in bed under the covers for a month but can't

Ugh, anxious and sick to my stomach

I feel like my pick up and go has got up and left without me.. I would like my pick up and go to come back and get me, take me with.

I woke up furious. Then I felt completely powerless for awhile. Now I just kind of feel like I'll be able to get through the day just fine unless someone says or does something I don't like. At which point I will blow my gasket.

I got some good work done but don't feel like making dinner but I'm committed to spaghetti making in about an hour :-)

Woke up so happy and excited!!!!!! Now OK.... someone just always seems to bring my spirits down....

I feel amazing. Earlier this week, I felt a low spot, but the energy has shifted and my step is light!

I'm aching tonight. I have stuff to figure out this weekend and I'm tired.

I'm tired, but wish I felt sleepy...

That's wonderful to hear!

Good morning all, this morning i feel good I had a nice lie-in until 9am, then rushed out to put the rubbish out (just in time, as the bin men had just got to the end of the road), and am now browsing online with a cup of tea.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Yeah same here - every day just the depth that varies

trapped and hopeless?

on edge .... but at least I am not completely alone on this journey any longer (sigh of relief)
