Is the not sleeping common? Do you need to see a GP about it?

Hi @MarronButterFly
I can hear how hard things are for you right now 😞
Did you get some sleep?
How're you feeling now?

@MarronButterFly
ah yes i really get that feeling of longing for that elusive sleep....and good sleep is so crucial.
no sleep at all is really tough
celebrating with you the BIG WIN...that you have gone a week free from self harm, despite not sleeping and all the urges and impulses.
what things have you tried regarding balancing your sleep patterns? do you want to share what has been causing you to get more agitated and have these racing thoughts?
i saw in another post that you have been considering talking with your old GP about meds.
any more to share about that idea? do hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Hi @MarronButterFly
First of all are you ok and are you in a safe place, I do hope so. Life can be a bit sucky at times, everything seems to go wrong and things don't turn out the way we want to. But that is life and tomorrow everything might change.
Try and do something you love for a change, pamper yourself, put yourself first. Sleep will come, try not to pressure yourself wanting it. Wrap yourself in a doona, plonk on the couch, flick on Netflix and just let your mind wander aimlessly. Be kind to yourself.......Sleep will come......Asgard
