Did your insomnia start when you first had your heart broken?

Yup, I remember it well. Around twenty years ago now, from that first night I'd sleep for a couple of hours or whatever then I'd be wide awake unable to get back to sleep. It's incredible the amount of damage heartbreak causes. We say heart but it's actually your spiritual self that gets broken.

Nah mine started when my dog started going downhill and eventually passed away last year. Before that I could sleep okay.

I know about heartbreak though, I cried myself to sleep at a stage from it.

@basilfawlty89 Im sorry to hear about your dog. Did your heart break from that though, thus causing your insomnia?

@TheGoodGuy well it did, but the heartbreak I referred to later was from a relationship. With my dog...yeah, I mean I still grieve, and pretty much have to use sleeping pills now.

@basilfawlty89 I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the sleeping issue gets resolved.
