It used to be just waking up every few hours instead, which still happens now but I'm used to it. The doc's appoitment helped a little, but I think it'll settled once my mood's settled. :DLexie Bellafontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163031738486495406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646550256480023962.post-74323819807586059632011-11-22T23:19:18.209+00:002011-11-22T23:19:18.209+00:00I had a few months of insomnia whilst at uni, I us...I had a few months of insomnia whilst at uni, I used to clock watch and dread going to bed, and the more I thought about it the worse it became. I finally beat it because I was lucky enough to have a wonderful change in my life, the insomnia just slipped away. I also found praying helped. I think more people suffer with insomnia than we think. I suffered with it as a child and would dread sunday nights in particular, I used to cry myself to sleep because it was the only way I would sleep. I know! :( I didnt understand it and never told my mum until I went through it again as an adult. I hope the doc appointment helped. :)Aunty Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646550256480023962.post-76458870846566821892011-11-21T20:56:46.939+00:002011-11-21T20:56:46.939+00:00Thanks Rosie :) Voice of reason.

I'm pretty sure you've summed up every medical piece of advice concerning insolnia too lol. <br />:D The trips make me feel like I'm in primary school again :) Bath this week!!Lexie Bellafontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163031738486495406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646550256480023962.post-25128363938730085332011-11-21T18:50:29.378+00:002011-11-21T18:50:29.378+00:00Don't worry about missing a class - I miss ...Don't worry about missing a class - I miss 'em all the time, and you just make time to catch up, it's no big deal :). Try not to get scared by the fact you are scared to leave your flat - you'll just get caught in the circle of Freak Out @_@. I don't know anything about insomnia, but common sense is telling me that having a structure and relaxation will probably help, whatever's causing it :). Hopefully the doctor can shed some light and help you out. Good luck <3!<br /><br />Also, I'm totally jealous you guys get to go on trips.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206672118507672697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646550256480023962.post-56537923345655258922011-11-18T22:38:35.690+00:002011-11-18T22:38:35.690+00:00Thank you Audrey *hugs back*Thank you Audrey *hugs back*Lexie Bellafontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163031738486495406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646550256480023962.post-25872426537613446802011-11-18T21:23:48.061+00:002011-11-18T21:23:48.061+00:00I understand insomnia part all too well. Doesn'...I understand insomnia part all too well. Doesn't happen too often when I am living with my family because I can't watch tv or keep the lights on because I share room with my sister, but those nights when I am alone sleep just doesn't come. Suddenly it's 2 am, 3, then there's nothing left to do but I just can't sleep. Then comes some strange guilt and thoughts about everything bad I've ever done and about everything bad that is yet to happen...Then it's 4 and I can't trust myself to wake up at 8 if I fall asleep then etc etc...<br /><br />I also understand anxiety of leaving your flat. As I don't have classes till New Year these last couple of months I barely go out few times a week. And then of course it feels weird, like everyone's looking at me, or something. Which I know is only in my head, but then, most things are just there and not in reality, though that doesn't make them less real LOL <br />The only solution I have for this is not to skip classes and to go out whenever you need to. The more you close yourself and stay in "controlled environment" the harder it will be to go out again.<br /><br />Keep in mind that you are doing well, you are in the right place, doing the right thing, you are where you want to be. <br />Take one day at a time, concentrate on feeling good now, in this moment, plan only now and push yourself out of your comfort zone and to hang out with people around you as much as possible.<br />It will get better soon, I am sure :) *hugs*Ana11_19https://www.blogger.com/profile/02991411140149724023noreply@blogger.com
