Scared!

Recommended Posts

I've only had a few hours of sleep in the past few days. I'm tired but not enough to go to sleep! I feel like I'm staying to "see things" or hallucinate.  I'm Scared! I've never gone this long with only a few hours of sleep. I feel like I'm starting to go crazy!!!  :'(

I'm so sorry you are not sleeping.  Have you tried a hot bath or a bath with Epsom salts?  Do you ever use Benadryl or unisom?  I know how miserable it can be to not sleep.  I don't have any real answers but wanted you to know I care. 

How about warm milk-have you ever tried that?  Please keep us updated.  Hope sleep finds you soon.

Snowflake,

Lack of sleep the way you describe is a very common side effect of withdrawal. Most of us experienced it and were equally frightened in the beginning. In time it just becomes a big pain in the ass as we realize that nothing bad is going to happen to us. We fall asleep before any red line is crossed. The lack of sleep just makes us feel like crap all of time. It may take awhile, but sleep will slowly improve.

Like Aloha said it really takes time and as time passes things get better.  At the moment they are happening things like anxiety and lack of sleep seem unmanageable and never ending but as things do heal you will look back and realize a lot of progress has been made.

 

It is at times slow and tedious but it does get better.  :smitten:
