I feel like I have a massive hang over or something, even though I didn't drink. I had a rough night last night, my bf was angry (however not at me) but when anyone shows angers, espeically men it triggers me. I eventually went upstairs because I was bothered by it. He came up after and he couldn't sleep so he was taping the headboard, or the side table.. he had a couple drinks in him too, and was pissy. I eventually got out of bed and went to go lay down in the livingroom on the couch until he stopped the banging. I was so tense etc, I don't know why, kept having body memories etc. Anyways after awhile I went back up to bed, and ended up sleeping towards the end of my side, and when he grazed me it made me jump. I don't know what is wrong with me... just felt blah.

We both had terrible sleeps, we woke up at 5:30am, he got up and showered etc, didn't fall asleep again until close to 7... woke up all sh*tty with a headache, everything you feel with a hangover.

If you guys read my post that I posted about yesturday etc then you'll know I have felt stressed out as well.

My question is has anyone felt like this from stress and the lack of sleep?

It's 8:30pm and I still feel crappy, not to mention the occassional hot flash.

Yes, I've felt like I have had a hangover even though I wasn't drinking because of lack of sleep. Also being on the computer late won't help someone get to sleep. As I have learnt that. (((((((((((sundance))))))))))))))))))
Try reading a book in bed..... like harry potter or a magerzine.
I hope you feel much better today!

Sundance,

It's the emotions. When you have strong emotions in you it has a poisoning effect which can be just like a physical illness or a hangover.

Learning to let go of our own anger and other people's anger is a long job, but it sure is worth it!

Peaceful thoughts, M

Well I don't feel great this morning.
Felt terrible all yesturday and most of the night.
Friend came down, she brought over homemade strawberry wine, had myself 2 glasses and I don't drink. Felt good last night though, today not so good, one glass I would have felt fantastic, but the second glass hit hard.

Feeling it, but a bit better now that I had some toast, coffee and a shower.

I guess stress can take a toll on the body etc.

Thanks guys for your replies.

When I get like that, it is almost like my body it running on adrenaline. I am on edge continually....keeping me from sleeping & even when sitting I feel like I am running a marathon. I end up exhausted after a while but just can't do anything about it because my body & mind just won't stop. The more exhausted I get, the more dizzy I feel like the hangover thing you describe.....besides nausea that hits with that.

I have had this happen for months at a time & usally pay for it both physically & mentally in the end. When it goes away, I crash & can sleep for days & days. I'm not sure how all the mental & physical things relate that go on during this & cause these feelings. It is confusing & very miserable.

I'm sorry I don't have the answer on how to get through it easy. It seems like a roller coaster that has made up my life for quite a while. But you do have company if that helps any.

I hope this passes soon for you & can get back to feeling better

yeah... like I do this evening. I was up till 4 am talking to someone in a chat at crossdaily about Christ... finally got to sleep but had to drag out to meet my mother at her church at 10:30 am (didn't quite make it) then had to go to lunch with her Red Hatter group... and home. I am so OVERWHELMED psychologically and physically. It's like not another thing can go into my brain, and each word I type might give me some relief for the space it leaves??? not. I have to go through motions now... not bother with anything else... until whatever it is replenishes and I quit "crashing." (In Air Force we call it crash & burn..) sigh.

It took me a long time to feel ok, the day after that one I had 2 drinks, went to bed buzzed (i'm not a drinker) and woke up feeling crappy. By the time I got to my boat though I was ok, but everyhing up until then was bad. Not fun.

Hi, Sundance,
You have been on a roller coaster for several days now anyway, regarding your male friend who has returned to your area. That had to take a toll, and now you relate how your boyfriend has acted out angrily...though you say, not at you. That has to take an immense toll also!
No wonder you are suffering from stress and lack of sleep.
At this time in my life, after much stress and anxiety, I am only doing things I enjoy, even if that is only watching a DVD or crocheting, LOL. A little voice in the back of my head is saying..."You should be up WORKING, solving problems, etc." But I ignore it, because I am regaining my peace of mind.
Don't be too hard on yourself, dear Sundance. Give yourself a break...light some candles and take a bubble bath; read, walk, do Yoga, or just take a nap!
I know sleep can be thought of as an escape (I've certainly done more than my share lately!), but it also is a way for the mind and body to recover, waking up with more clarity of thinking.
Peaceful thoughts,
Seeker Patty

Thank you Patty for your words of wisdom...

I weeded out my yard the other day when I was feeling low. I always at least every other day indulge myself with a bubble bath. I always say that I will start pilates or yoga, but haven't gotten into it yet, no motivation. Walking does help, I went to my boat for the night, and once I was there I was feeling good. Went for a bit of a walk today as well to go get coffee etc, my bf and his friend went out to breakfast and I walked back to the marina. Had alot of ME time, just relaxing on the flybridge watching all the other boaters and people in the marina. That was soothing.

I'm feeling ok at the moment, maybe I wont be seeing my ex this week, if he doesn't call before I go to the boat next weekend then i'll have no worries.

So far so good, if something comes up you know that I'll be posting about it... LOL... My BF leaves Thursday morning for his fishing trip and I'm going back home on Tuesday... so I don't know, might be anxiety ridden and depressed, as there is no way for me to contact my guy, as he will be secluded basically on an island.

So if i'm not kept busy, i'll be really stressed out....At least I get to see my psychiatrist this week...
