couldn't get to sleep yet
 
:confused:

Hello,
I just took .5 Klonopin because I have not been able to sleep yet. I just called in sick to work.

Yesterday I had to talk to my boss about some matters.
I'm not in the mood to see her again just one day later -- that might be why I can't sleep.

Also, I am not feeling as much "love" from my team that I usually do. Maybe it is just me -- having nothing to do with any changes from them.

If the .5 Klonopin does not work, I take another .5 in an hour.
I'm going to try to read a boring book.

Hi Mari,

I could not sleep last night either. I wish I had checked on here earlier to chat with you. I have a lot on me as it appears your talk with your boss yesterday was a lot on you also. I hope you are getting sleep. I should get some by 11 a.m. as that is usually about my limit of not sleeping any.

Sweet dreams.

I'm hoping you both got too sleep.

I had a whole different kind of reason for not going back to sleep.

I was awoken at 11:30pm to go down and stay with my grandkids,
so Devin could take Sabrina to the hospital because of bleeding.
At 3:00am they returned, I came home, couldn't sleep at 4:00am
I got on the computer and also cleaned my area.

I would have gone to sleep after my chat with my supervisor. But
Derrick had a seizure and is sleeping it off in my bed.

Now I have a 1pm appointment ugh.

My D-i=law is waiting on a OB-GYN appointment, but doing what she considers okay. I'm personally still a little worried. She has bleed abnormally for 21/2 years now when she has her periods after having a tubaler and things. So I've encouraged going to a specialist, but until last night when the ER said she has to. The medicaid in Indiana pretty much would have said, NO. Until November of December she didn't even have her own doctor.
She had to hope the clinic in the next big town could get her in with in 3 weeks if she was sick. So hopefully the clinic will get her in soon.

I got no sleep, but its because of good things.

Donna,

It's ahame when health insurance plans like Medicaid won't cover things. I hope your d-in-law can get straight at the clinic.

Maybe we'll all go to bed early tonight.

Oh Mari, I hope that the Klonipin helped...Did you sleep? I hope you got some good rest. I am doing better, just got a new tank for the turtle and he is wickedly happy now. Getting it set up today helped with my depression, I think I am going to ask to have my wellbutrin increased to help me get through the upcoming change onto abilify which has YET to happen.

I'll post some pics when I get the chance. ;) Let us know how you're doing Mari, I worry about you when you can't get sleep...:hug:

BlueMajo 04-07-2009 08:57 PM

Hey Pamster !

I wanted to say I love your turtle :)

Brokenfriend 04-07-2009 09:35 PM

When I was a teenager,I caught dozens of turtles at a lake that was close to me where I lived. I caught those kind of turtles,and also Painted turtles. I only caught the young ones in the moss,near the edge of the lake.

I brought the turtles home,and went to the back yard,and put them I a boat filled with water,and islands for them to walk onto. It wasn't a expensive boat,and It was made out of plastic,and just right for my turtles.

I'm saying hi to Pamsters turtle also. BF:):):)

Mari 04-07-2009 10:08 PM

Hi Folks,

I got to sleep about 8:30 am.


Then I napped again in the early evening.

I don't feel so good.

I should take a shower and pack my lunch and get ready for work tomorrow.

I feel hung over from sleeping at funny times.
Maybe I am depressed too.

M.

BlueMajo 04-07-2009 10:30 PM

Oh Mari,

Im glad to read you had some sleep. Sorry to read you are not feeling precisly good... Come on, try to cheer you up ! :) Wishing you a good day tomorrow !!!
Dont feel depressed... try to be happy... oh well, the Depression Master speaking here.... :rolleyes:



Hey !!! I tried to have turtles... but I guess I was a nasty mom... always died !!! :(

Mari 04-08-2009 02:13 AM

HI,
I need to go to bed.
I can hope that I feel better in the morning.
Right now I feel rotten.
I'm not even sure if I can get myself calmed down enough to sleep.

I don't know if I can go into work.
Tomorrow is a big day in some ways.

But I can't go into work if I am not functioning -- it would upset people.
And it would reveal too much about me.
I have to be on guard when I leave the apt.
If I am depressed, I can't keep up the act very well.

I wish I knew what set me off. Maybe I could recover somehow in the next few hours.

:hug:

Has the weather where you live been sunny yet Mari? Could it be the change of season?

I wish I could be more help. :o Maybe a fresh flower on your desk? In the winter I buy cheap bunches at WalMart and spread them around. It really helps me.

Putting on a fake happy face is very draining. I know how that feels. I have to be upbeat and motivating, no matter the pain.

Maybe we should take acting lessons. :wink:

Mari 04-08-2009 11:02 AM

HI,
After last night's emotions, I am feeling so raw. . . . like I went though an emotional roller coaster and am at the bottom.
I will go to work today and try to do the bare minimum -- not much different from most days. But today's goal will be to get through the day without crying. I can do that I hope. If not, I will come home.

( . . . .edit . . . -- seeing young people deal with death. I don't remember having to deal with death at that age.)

Mari 04-08-2009 11:24 AM

Curious,

The weather got chillly for us today. I got out my "warm" clothes last night to wear today.
You remind me that I need to make sure I walk in the park or something like that this weekend That helps with mood sometimes.
M.

Curious 04-08-2009 11:31 AM

It does Mari. Some fresh air. Blow those winter cobwebs away. Sunshine if it's out.

Take some time for you. :hug:

Is there a grief counselor on campus? Such a tragic loss. :hug:

BlueMajo 04-08-2009 01:50 PM

Mari, you are very kind for helping all those students :)

Dmom3005 04-08-2009 08:05 PM

For me when the weather changes all the time. I have a hard time staying in a up mood. So maybe that is part of the problem.

But then when people around me are having good days, it rubs off.

I was in a good meeting today, helping a parent getting nice smiles of hello from people in the meeting.

And feeling like I belonged.

BlueMajo 04-09-2009 03:11 AM

Oh dang.... guess who cant sleep tonight..... :rolleyes:

Im feeling high.... that's why I cant sleep I guess..... 3:06 AM here and Im just starting to feel sleepy........

Dmom3005 04-09-2009 02:53 PM

Hope you finally got some sleep.

Donna

Mari 04-10-2009 05:49 AM

Dear Friend and Pamster,
You make turtles sound like they can be fun. I havea hard time caring for a house plant, so for right now I will be content with reading your experiences.

Dear Majo,
Did you sleep?
DO you take naps when you can?
I hope that you got good sleep tonight.

M.

BlueMajo 04-10-2009 02:12 PM

I have been sleeping but full of vivid dreams.... hate that !
