Before you go running to meds (which may be a good option if this doesn't work) Try looking back at what you have written. You have let this short term fluke in your sleeping psych you out. Now you lay there at night dwelling on how you are ever going to get sleep. Instead, try exercising in the afternoons. This will physically wear out your body. Then go to bed only when you feel tired. If that means staying up until 3 watching the history channel, then at least give it a try. Do something relaxing and boring (a book, educational television, stitching or something). Listen to your body. It is going to have to get tired eventually. Then try to gradually get back to a normal pattern. Good luck.
One word: Depression.
All of the things you describe are classic symptoms.
I'd give emily a thumbs up on the answer if I was level 2, as it is I'll just add to mine that she has good ideas and you should try everything you can before resorting to medication, most of the people I know who have been medicated had more problems from side effects than the problem they were medicated for in the first place.
hmm well maybe your worried that you guys will get in another fight again......
bah,I went crazy along time ago. Iv been like that for over 5 years, cant sleep,just lay in bed for hours. you should see the blackness under my eyes from not sleeping. all because I lost the one girl I loved.life sucks, at least you got back with your boy friend.
I dont really know what to tell you since I havent found any ways to fix the problem for myself, I take 3 exedrin pms when Im tired and it still doesnt get me to sleep. maybe it will go away over time, think about the less fortunate such as myself if that helps, I get to sleep at 5 am on average.there are so many other un heard people out their going through much worse. try sleeping pills as a temporary solution to get you back into a good sleeping cycle. you know, take em around bed time. you probably just have your sleeping cycle out of wack because some depression kept you up after the fight, Sometimes all it takes is one night of staying up to late to totally mess up a person's sleeping cycle. make sure everything is good inside if you know what I mean; make sure you have no more depression or any feelings that "arent right" towards your boyfriend, otherwise getting to sleep on normal time with pills will only work temporarily. otherwise one night of getting to sleep correctly should do you a world of good.
