Good thing i have a sense of humour

I've been awake for 4 days. Just par for the corse. It's. Now 5.55 am and I could probably go for a nap soon once my missus is up and off to work. But I cant

Because I have to wait for the new bed being delivered between 6:30 and 8:30 then I must go check on the grandparents as I eventually convinced my nana to get a high end chair after she broke her neck 3 years ago and she wants me to help her make sure she's OK n stuff the chair is to be delivered at 7am, i love my grandparents so I wouldn't say no.

Then when I get home I am going to have to try and help dismantle tne old and build the new bed so the new mattress can rest for 12 hours

Probs another snooze on tne sofa with the dog later instead I guess.

Oh nooooo! That sounds like a rough few nights. Good on you for sorting your grandparents out, I miss mine terribly

Have you gone for a memory foam mattress?

 

[GrownHealth]

That sounds horrible ,also can understand your willingness to put yourself through this , I got 4 hours i think the other day and that knock me for six all day when I woke ,
Hope you get a long sleep in your nice new bed , and grandparents we know they're precious ,good on you.

I can only laugh, I don't let stuff get to me so I'm always able to power through if I need.

48-72 hrs for the mattress to fully fluff.

They must have added that as a joke tbf when I do fall asleep after i have a bout like this i could be lying on fire ants

4 days awake is horrible when ya get to that point nothing seems real.

Its the other way round in our house my sleep is pretty consistent but my wife's sleep is absolutely bonkers ,no rhyme or rhythm to it whatsoever at the moment or for the past few years .
24-72 hours. it'd have from when I put it down till I went to bad even if that was 2 hours .

Only 1 cure for insomnia and I got no idea why doctors don't push it. I had chronic insomnia for years I tried all sorts. Weed didn't work I would find the buzz kept me awake. You have to burn yourself out its usually an overactive mind at night that will keep you awake and fluctuate your body temp, Sweats/cold. I found if I did tons of exercise in the morning and then the afternoon too I could sleep. I'm talking so much I'm tired as soon as I finish. Also I had to stop the tea and coffee they don't help at all especially if ya use sugar in them.

If ya worry about thing a lot that's another problem that you will need your cognitive behavioural thinking altered slightly. I know it sounds dumb but picturing fluffy bunny's flowers and unicorns does actually change your mood.

Shout. Also there are some pretty good decaff / sweetener options these days.

If my head out of control I recommend thinking about pets you have or know of. Theres a wonderful little dog nearby called Ms Bobbi. I think about her.

I'm spoilt I've got a trauma trained dog that failed the course through seperation anxiety and we adopted her from the dogs trust ,she's by my side now and constantly reading my mood and intervening if she thinks It'll help .
She will literally look at me then turn her head and look upstairs like she telling me to get to bed at certain times .

If I'm not worrying I'm not surviving

I take clonazepam ontop of my other meds to try and knock me out but usualy just end up a bit more relaxed but awake still. If I burn myself out anymore ill combust I have major fatigue issues but mixed with the pain issues it cycles between each other on whys gonna be in control for a few days

Going through all the mental health therapy stuff again at the moment. Currently on the buzzy hand or follow the light thingy therapy. I want to call it edmr but I'm just thinking if edm music I think. Flashy lights n buzzing and I forgot the name

My neighbours must think im a vampire

Just can go anywhere fast with her ,she wants to stop and meet everyone ,but a lot of old folk get great comfort from stroking her on walks and she loves it ,my other dogs crackers , without pets I break , simple as.

We talking pets now. This is my truffling pig bella or bell-end if she's being naughty. Usually the latter if she doesn't get her gravy bones and rabbit ears

Your on the hard stuff personally I don't and won't take any pharmaceutical and havnt for 15 years. I won't take any pain relief except weed I don't see a point. I don't believe any of them are helpful in any way long term. And definitely won't take any pharma physcoactive drug. Those kinds of doctors I call quacks. They recently admitted they been treating most mental health as a serotonin issue and they were wrong. So they have for decades being prescribing people wrong and doing god knows what damage. If you look through history mental health doctors are amongst the worst abusers of human rights ever and still at it. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could kick them.

Ya can see my pets in my profile pic the pet crocodile is holding the camera.

 

[Rainbone]

You wouldn't think it from the picture but she does have 4 legs and each one of them is boney as hell when she stands on my toes or kicks me in the ribs when she's running in her sleep
