Cant Sleep Again

[renee18]

Since I can't sleep i thought I would come here and write a little. This past week has been a long week for me. I have not been sleeping well and not feeling good as well. I know i have been doing a lot of work with my counselor and I am wondering if maybe it is just too much for me. I have so much going on in my life right now that its hard for me to just focus on one thing at a time. I know that recovery is a process and can be slow at time but i didn't realize I was going to be facing a lot of emotions that I have been using food for and some of those feelings i don't even know what they are yet. So why can't i sleep? I don't know for the past few weeks i have had a hard time staying asleep but tonight I can't fall asleep. Go figure. maybe I am just thinking of too many things and i just need to relax and stop stressing a lot everything going on in my life right now. Easier said then done. Maybe I can get a little sleep before I have to be back up for church and then for work.

hey you believe me I understand more then you know. I have chronic sleep problems and can't turn my mind off ever it seems. I sleep about on average 4 hours then wide awake. I think me is just to much going on. For you I'm sure it's processing all those emotions. Yes, therapy is very hard work, but there will come a time when you've put all those pieces, emotions feelings together and be able to move forward, as we say in recovery land, don't quit before the miracle happens! Be strong now!

Yes Renee...keep going forth because that miracle does happen. I know it is hard to try to function on little sleep. For quite a few years I had to deal with that, but thankfully I am better today.

I know with any addiction sleep deprivation is very common. And again, you will get better. Congratulations again for taking good care of ((((((YOU))))))
