Hey @LostAngel

Sorry, it took so long to reply.. hopefully, you did get some sleep. I was going to suggest maybe just writing what you wanted to say but not hitting the send button until the appropriate time. That way, you get it all out and all you need to do is hit send.

Do your meds help calm your thinking and anxiety down? Is that their purpose?

I have problems with sleeping too, worrying, twisting and turning all night. Also a big worry because I live alone, no one to rescue me if I have a medical emergency at night. Anyhow, that's life !

Thank goodness I am not working at airport at moment....nothing worse than not being able to sleep at night, and having to wake at 5am, sleep deprived. Insomnia is a terrible condition to deal with.

Re: so Im up again not sleeping and instead worrying

hearing you @Owen45 and yes @AussieRecharger meds are for anxiety/depression ,managed to eventually sleep ,just a bit annoyed this afternoon over something well over miscommunication with someone,and thinking maybe I wait too long for others to respond,maybe It was stupid of me to answer someones call only to have them say nothing on the phone,I waited for 2 days then decided to message today I dont know what they ment by something they said and well they never got back back to me so today Im kind of starting to be in a mood honestly asking myself why do I suddenly feel the urge to be B#$chy about this its small ,trivial but still I am begging to wonder if maybe I wait on other people to much to give an answer or effort or just something cause I worry too much about saying/doing something wrong that will cause the other person to react badly orwell I threw in the towl this morning and decided to stop just waiting for days for someone to reply so I messaged them then put my phone away,I dont know felt like I was left hanging so to speak ,will see what happens ,maybe I just shouldnt have answered the call anyway hope your all going well today ,in other news I have eaten today just not showred yet but who knows wether this person will show up if I do try to jump in the shower,only they know why they didnt get back to me ,at least I know why I waited I waited out of respect and to not be bothersome,and to also give the other person space well as they say easy come easy go ok really Im just acting in a Im not bothered way but still am bothered ,but its up to them now to reply if and when is anyones geuss
