Insomia

[Izzybella]

I can't sleep. At all. Its been 3 days and no matter what I do I cant sleep. I feel like I am losing it. I normally take sleeping pills to help me sleep but they arent helping. I even took double and I still cant sleep. I dont want to accidently take too much but I want to sleep so bad. I cant think at school I cant think at all. I hear literally every single noise. I have tried everythinng to go to sleep and nothing is helping. I dont know what to do I cant take much more of this I swear I am seeing shit move that isnt and I swear I can see something or someone out of the corner of my eye but then when I look its gone. Thoughts are racing through my head at a million miles a hour and I just want it to stop. I almost feel like ramming my head into the wall to see if it will knock me out. I am already stressed out enough as it is between the jerks at school and my foster parents I cant take much more right now. I dont know whats real or not and I swear if my foster sister doesn't stop snoring I am going to go insane god I just want to scream. I cant even bug my dr for better sleeping pills until the 14th and even then I dont know if he would give it to me i dont even know why my sleeping pills aren't working they normally knock me out and last month I was complaining to him that they made me too tired in the morning. I am soooo tired I dont know how many I would have to take to go to sleep but I am scared to take too many i dont want to die I just want to sleep

You need to tell your doctor immediately. Even though you don't have an appointment with him for a while, you can still let him know, he can possibly up the dosage on the sleeping pills, or give you a completely different prescription. I'm sorry that you are going through all of that. I can relate, insomnia is one of the worst things to experience. Having to go through a whole day tired and sleepy is just so horrible. Don't overdose on the pills. That would be the worst thing for you to do. Just tell your parents about it. Tell them the pills are not working for you, and I'm sure your doctor will be able to help your further with that.

Thanks I was kinda scared to tell my foster parents because I did take double the dose and I didnt want to tell them. My foster dad is easier to talk to so I waited for her to leave and I told him. He took my pills from me so I can't take too many and he said he is going to call my case worker cause she is the one that has to take care of all my medical stuff. I am waiting for her to call back now. He said I didnt have to go to school today if I didnt want to and he will tell her that I need an earlier appointment and he said he will take me up there and we can just sit in the waiting room in case someone cancels their appoinment at the last min. I was just freaking out when I wrote this but I am feeling a little bit better knowing that something is happening but now I have to deal with waiting. I will most likely get into trouble for taking more than I was suppose to but he said we will deal with that once I get some sleep.

no luck with the dr today...why are nights soooo hard when I cant sleep it wasnt as bad during the day but now its getting worse and its only 8:30 I am really glad he took my pills cause I am sooo scared I would take them about now. I laid in bed for 3 hours just trying to fall asleep but my thoughts were racing like crazy and it just drove me more insane I really cant do this I just want to pass out even if its only for a little bit its better than nothing.

Have you tried putting a damp cloth over your forehead, while you are trying to sleep? Usually that helps people who have problems sleeping.

No but I will try it. Hopefully it helps. I have never stayed up this long before and its really starting to freak me out. We are going to go up to the dr office today and just sit and the waiting room. My foster dad said it will be harder for them to ignore us that way and hopefully they can squeeze us in or at least let us talk to the nurse and have her talk to the dr. I tried taking benadryl every four hours but it just made me more tired and it didnt help me fall asleep. benadryl normally doesnt help me sleep much anyway cause I am so use to taking it when I have an allergic reaction (which is often) but I figured it was worth a shot...I was wrong it just made me feel worse
