This is annoying honestly. My current sleeping pills don't seem to work. I fell asleep around midnight and woke up 45 minutes later. I woke up almost a panic and I even woke up Joel. Thankfully He fell right back asleep. My mind was going...

Try a more holistic approach to your issues. Those pills have a reputation for messing up levels in the brain… To start: Try adding more fruit to your diet. Also find ways to have a little magnesium. Plus- this takes practice but -doing a 10 minute guided meditation once every day does wonders. For me I found if I do it right after I wake up it’s best. Adjust your wake up time to fit it in. Just download a free app or go on YouTube, easy! … google other ways you can help your mental health without drugs

The big move to your new house could be a big factor into your stress and lack of sleep. Hopefully after you are all moved in, things may be more calmer for you.

@Barefooter25 I hope so. I've always struggled with insomnia but nothing like this.

@Cigarguy101 I felt the same way when my office moved to another building. I had trouble sleeping and it was really stressful for me.

@Barefooter25 I'm just stressing over making sure everyone has what they need. Making sure everyone will be ok when we move. It's so hard I just keep thinking about it over and over. Making sure everything is just right and everything has its place.

Remember to rub your neck and shoulders thoroughly with bio-freeze, right up into the base of your skull. Stress headaches are improved by this.

You can't NOT eat, and take pills on an empty stomach. That's going to CAUSE your ulcer to flare up.

@Cigarguy101 This makes me sad. You know the doctor told you that with an ulcer, you HAVE to eat something.

@4meAndyou I know I tried but my stomach, I got sick was hurting really bad this morning when I got up. I just had a protein shake. I am pretty sure it was from stress over night

@Cigarguy101 Go to the grocery store and buy some jars of baby food. Baby food desserts are actually really delicious...and they can be eaten without cooking, right out of the jar. Your stomach will be able to handle that tiny amount of food, and you will not be putting pills onto a raw ulcer.

@YoMomma The pills I'm on now are supposed to help with anxiety and high stress at night. Calm the mind But with the move and stuff I have been extra lately lol.

Stress would make sense but just curious if you’ve ever been tested for sleep apnea.

Me: drinks 10 coffees.
Me also: why can’t I sleep? 🤔
