I can't sleep, can't stop moving.?!


Question:

I can't sleep, can't stop moving.?

I haven't been sleeping for over a week. I'll sleep for 2 - 6 hours, wake up, and feel like I've had a full night. Then I won't sleep at all for 48 hours.

I've been partying a lot, everyone is mad at me, I feel disconnected from reality sometimes.

It's strange. Somtimes I feel present, and I look at the chaos I'm creating, and feel terrible.

Other times I just need to move, need to be hectic and do things. I feel like my feet are leaving the ground, and I'm trying my best to keep my toes on the ground because I don't want to ruin my life. But I want to let go so bad. I don't care who I hurt, I feel like my relationships hold me back. It just feels too good.

I have been promiscuous and boisterous and I just can't stop moving.

I have had past issues with instability and depression and self injury. I have never been hospitalized or medicated. But I am continually unstable.

I don't know how to get control of this. I'm struggling to hold my life together right now

Someone asked if I'm taking drugs - not really. I've smoked a little bit of pot, but mostly just drank. If anything, drinking actually slows me down and allows me to sleep. I feel the most overactive when I'm sober.


Answers:

Hi. It is good you see what you're doing and know how you feel. Tell a counselor or psychiatrist. They will put you in the hospital, if they see fit. You are running from your problems. You need to face them. So you can deal with them properly. Your life will be destroyed. If you don't take the necessary steps to help yourself. Stop partying. That's only going to make it worse. Your doctor can/will provide you with non addictive sleeping pills. Exercise is good for you, physically and mentally. Try it. Also, you need to eat 6 small well balanced portions a day, study and apply self control, positive thinking, and any other self help techniques. BE COMPLETELY HONEST with your counselors/psychiatrist. Otherwise they won't be able to accurately help you. Study all diagnosis given, symptoms and treatments. This will help you have a better understanding of your illnesses. The psychiatrist, counselors, and med.'s will help. However, you have got to help yourself, also. Please take these steps. It will help.
