I Suffer From Depression And Insomnia

Managed to sleep for several hours, but now I've woken up too early and I can't fall back asleep.

I was feeling rather depressed and alone for a while upon waking, but I've been able to turn my thinking around so far.

I actually feel somewhat positive. Perhaps I've become more resilient.

I suffer from pain ,so I sleep when I can ,
anytime I am on and you just want someone to talk to you are welcome to hit me up
I know what its like at 3 am and you feel all alone in the world
If you hit me up and I don't respond right away ,I may have passed out myself
but leave me a message ,
when I do wake up I'll get right back to you .
No one should feel all alone ,
there is always someone on SW
We can find something to BS about ,or swap music ,thats my bag
I love music ,and I am big on family
the door is always open

@rckt148 Thank you very much for the offer, that's very generous of you. I may have to take you up on it at some point.

I'm big on music as well.

For now, I think I'm going to try and get up for a bit and eat something. My appetite wasn't the best yesterday, and now that it's returning I need to take advantage.

You're right. When something is lacking, you take it where you can get it.

@GeistInTheMachine well as I said ,door is always open
never just sit there and feel alone ,,your not unless you chose to be
there are people here who care
Like KayraJordyn said ,some of us just hit the q&A board answering silly questions or just observing ,
But I would rather be talking to someone who has more to give to the site
that all the crazy questions in the world
and I am sure KayraJordyn and lots of others feel the same way
When my mind is busy ,its not on my pain
So we help others and in doing so help ourselves ,so its a win win .
So never hesitate ,,as I said ,door is always open

@rckt148

Thank you so much. You've both been very kind.

I’ve been going through the same thing for almost two weeks now. The most sleep I’ve gotten was probably two days ago where I got 8 hours in after being burnt out physically and emotionally. It helps when you tune out and focus on the little positives.

@SW-User It's been a long while for me as well. Likewise with the physical and emotional/mental burnout.

Making positive goals and plans for the future helps.

@GeistInTheMachine I hope you get some peace of mind, and a much needed rest. 🤗

@SW-User Thank you. I hope likewise for you.

I hope you'll be okay; that's really hard, and I'm glad you can do it.

Aw you're sweet. I'm sending a prayer for your mother, and another one for you. Stress can cause havoc sometimes!

@KayraJordyn Thank you for your prayers. She hasn't been feeling well as of late, so I appreciate that.

Fortunately, I'm hanging on despite the stress.

Good to hear you're making it. I'm so sorry it's stressful, and really sorry your mom isn't feeling well. 😞 I'll pray for her tonight. 🖤
