You'll be just fine marjan. Try to focus your mind on one problem at a times. This way it doesn't seem so overwhelming. You might want to put the boy friend on hold for now and handle the more immediate problems. Listen to something relaxing, some music before you go bed. And most of all take good care of yourself, and you'll be just fine.

I can't sleep well either. I don't know why though... I don't have big stressful things happening around me so I don't really see why I can't sleep!
It could be because I am confused? I have been looking at disorders due to a story that got me curious and I have been feeling mentally unstable... But I don't see why I can't sleep well.
Sometimes I think that I think too much. My head hurts, usually.

I'm currently fighting insomnia and a headache...I know the exact cause though. I'm on Clarithromycin for a sinus infection, and it's driving me up a wall. Of the page long list of side effects so far, I've got stomach discomfort, headache, insomnia, and mood swings (though the stomach problem might very well be something I ate, and the mood swings are probably caused by the fact that I am completely exhausted but also completely unable to sleep). Oh, and diziness. Of course, the doctor's office is closed, and my parents and the pharmasist are all "Give it 48 hours, you'll be fine." I've only been on it 23 hours, and I'm already dreading my next dose.

I can't sleep at nights either, my mind is active at night most particularly as everything is quiet, nothing is happening and lying there on my own then I start having terrible thoughts which I can't shut off. Night time is the worst time for me, through the day things are happening and I can be kept busy and occupied and the troubling issues can take a back seat that is until they jump out again at night. Is there anything you can take to calm you down and help you get to sleep? I haven't had a decent sleep in a long time.

I know what you mean!
I am also pretty active at night, and I think so much. But it's a fact that people think more at night that in the morning. I too think of bad things like thinking that some ghost is beside me or maybe I won't wake up tomorrow, or sometimes I have to check if a left the charger near the curtain because it might catch fire! And I check and check and check.
Maybe you should listen to the radio or mp3 or ipod or something. That's what I do and I end up thinking about becoming a DJ and it makes me think of a good future. I think you should do it! See if it works.
