^^Yeah... Get really tense and tired, but unable to fall asleep. At some point its hard to do anything, because of the exhaustion, but still can't sleep.

Thank god I don't have a job I have to go to, and neither do you it seems.

I can only imagine the noise. On December 23 I was here washing the stairs while they where working in my apartment. The apartment is on the second floor, and I could hear them very good down in the cellar. Have you tried earplugs? My experience is that they are quite uncomfortable unfortunately, but they work for a short period of time.

Cool getting a new bathroom though!

It's not really my house, my brother pays for it but I'm next in line for it if I kill him, the fool added me to his will!

He doesn't even live here, rents a place in the city closer to work.

My chances of sleep are slim as I'm so worked up, I doze then jerk awake again, I hate people in my space as it makes me feel broken because I hate them there if that makes any sense.

Hey Froya :0 Yes again can relate, the feeling of shemae, sadness etc but sometimes without reason that one can identify to... It is not nice when feeling like that and totally understand how that connects with being tired and not being able to slepp.. The racing thoughts drive me nuts too. Has been happening alot of late especially with this house thing going on now!
Hope these feelings subside a little to allow you to get some much needed rest

Sounds like your brother loves you. Very kind of him to let you live there for free. (If he only knew about your murdering thoughts )

I don't know if I can relate to your last paragraph. I'm sort of like that on an emotional level maybe. I mean when it comes to emotional connections with others. Or maybe it is similar, but just hard to describe and get a grip on.

Yes, it just seems to come from somewhere deep inside.

Thank you, and same goes to you and Q

Damn, my grammar was worse than normal, one more spelling mistake from needing a codex! apologies, brain was obviously still waking up.

Hope you managed to get a little better sleep Froya. Just as a thought, did this start coming on after drinking coffee, especially for the first time?

*Proceeded to feel more like crap that day*

It was strange, suddenly feeling like that.
...If we are being honest, I used to feel like that all of the time.

But that had changed lately.

Also, I feel slightly selfish constantly talking about me, what have you been up to lately?

I feel like I have missed much of the recent conversation around these parts.

To Froya: Unfortunately, the Lillikoi cannot relate to that experience.

Nor this sensation called "Shemae" that Biggles describes.

However, I can relate to the feeling of not being able to sleep.

Didn't read the whole post, but have you tried any stuff that can… help you sleep, like taking melatonin?

I used to not be able to fall asleep-- like my mind wouldn't shut off at night-- and I started taking melatonin and that helped me have a more normal sleep schedule.

But, that might not be the case here, sorry if I can't help...

Oops, bad grammar again, that was meant to be ''Shame''.

As far as sleep goes. I dont think anything will really work unless it renders me unconscious! ha.. Was given quetiapine to try but defeated the object of getting a good nights sleep and feeling refreshed the next day, all it did was make me feel like a zombie... It didn't actually get me to sleep, kinda helped but no, wont be taking those again!
Yes , will try melatonin on my next doctors visit, if he listens, last time wasnt the greatest of experiences, he was busy looking at the computer screen while i was talking and kept saying yes, yes, yes... Wasn't engaged nor did he listen, so shut off... It can be a bit weird here, you explain some of the things that effects oneself on the spectrum and he responds by saying he doesn't know much about the spectrum... For goodness sake i was explaining it to him! ha... Its like sometimes they are in their own dream world...
But all good

Am really glad for you Lillikoi that you are feeling better and not shoddy all the time like you mentioned..
and dont feel bad about being honest if only you want to talk... We all kind of feel guilty airing our feelings and experiences. But if you get comfort from airing, then dont feel bad ( says me who always regrets posting something negative) ha

Raleigh said 28 days of radio silent rehab were in the works.

froya, 50 mg of benedryl (diphenhydramine- OTC here) are helping me to sleep in a recliner in my husband's hospital room. also used to take a tsp. of ground ginger in a cup of warm sweetened water if herbals are more to your liking.

Yes, I decided to sleep when I could! So got out of bed around 6 pm
At this point it's better to go the other way around I think. Meaning that I'm not sleeping anything upcoming night, and instead trying to fall asleep at a more normal hour Friday night.

What about you, did you get any sleep?

I've tried melatonin. Can't say I noticed any difference really.

Yes, I'm keeping a close eye on the coffee thing. The thought has also crossed my mind, that coffee might have triggered it. Only had one cup yesterday (after breakfast), and that's my plan today also.

That's ok! All of us can't always relate to everyone else

I do relate to feeling selfish as you mention though. I feel I tend to talk about myself too much

Thank you for the tip! I have thought about asking my doctor for sleeping medicine, but I'm so used to this lack of sleeping pattern. Also if I get a prescription, that is yet another thing I will have to deal with you know. I have to renew the prescription every year, have to go to the pharmacy now and then. Also one more pill to take every day

I could try the ginger though. I have ground ginger (I think) as a spice. In a spice container.

Hello, everyone.
