Just can't sleep

I recommend a combination of melatonin and 5-HTP

I'm on my way right now :)

That sucks...

To much worries?

Yeah, too much worries for several years without anyone to share them with.

Just no-one.

I'm a social being, having to cope with everything alone for so long is just killing me.

Even if there wasn't anything to worry about. And there is.

Like mentioned above 5-HTP works great and I also use Gabatrol (and a couple of glasses of red wine).

Soaking in a hot bath for 20 minutes can help relax you as well.

Good luck!

Seems to work for many, not me.

Diagnosed add with lots of energy.

It has to come out through direct connection with someone. I can manage perhaps a week or so without going crazy, and this sh*t has been going on for over three years now.

No amount of exercise or 5-HTP or anything has ever helped me.

There's exactly one thing that works for me, and that's company.

The only other way is just stay awake for as long as it takes for the body to come so totally exhausted the mind just has to give in. Which is not healthy, nor does it help fixing the feeling of complete lack of purpose of being here.

The worst part is, I know there's no way out of this. Just have to keep waiting.

Well, I wish I had the money to get Gabatrol. Or red wine. Or a bath tub. =D

That's part of what I'm destined to worry about. No money at all for many years. Spent the Christmas alone with virtually nothing to eat, now it's the same with the new year - third time in a row.

Can't go anywhere, can't buy anything, can't do a god damn thing except wait for this phase to pass.

I really don't even have that tub. Or a shower. Or a decent toilet. Not even a kitchen sink - seriously.

Amazing, but that's the kind of bs I've agreed to swallow so just have to deal with it.

Weird enough, I do still have a laptop and an Internet connection.

A lot is going on and I'm expecting things to get easier soon, but it seems I'm feeling just worse every day the closer whatever-it-is comes.

When I can't sleep, I turn the TV on The Weather Channel and keep the volume low, helps me zone out....
Find what works for you, good luck

A body needs sleep, a lot of mending and healing goes on during that time, on a cellular level

I work for a company from Finland so I feel a connection with you. Don't know why but maybe because we are a small company and more connected to each other.

I would not shy away from medication. Ambien has helped me in the past when I have used it for a week or two. Make sure you are ready for bed and no alcohol consumption. After using this for a week I have been able to maintain a sleep habit for several months.

Be strong.

That's in fact a good idea, helps a lot to have someone talking. =D

Thanks, got to try this! ;)

Get drunk.


Get some lotion.


Rub it a couple times.


That does the trick for many.

I know a lot of people who r successfully using mmj to sleep.

That's why there are bars. Alcohol has been used as a social lubricant for ages. It is fine in moderation. Get out. Rub elbows. Have a conversation. And a few pops will help you relax. Innocent enough.

Nice to hear that, thanks! <3



Not impossible, however the financial side blocks anything like this from happening.

Don't have money for booze either. =D

Weed used to help but that was a long time ago, it works for a while but if the problems (stress etc.) persist then it's no good.



I will.

Thanks. <3

Your country has a great medical care program. You can get anything you want. There is no excuse.

Believe me, tried this one too - extensively. =D Doesn't work either.

The amount of energy I've got is just a nightmare. There seems to be no way to shut me down other than having the right company. I'm very much hoping for her to appear somewhere soon enough; been searching for so long, then trying to forget, now searching again...

Well I could tell you quite a few things of our "great" medical care program.

Lots of propaganda around regarding it.

I had to fight for months just to get my add diagnosed, and even then I had to pay. Using the public system, the whole process would have taken about a year.

It's a disaster over here too, although they like to paint nice pictures of this socialist little paradise of ours of course... ;)

Requires: money.

Okay so I don't know the system in Finland. How about having yourself admitted for a mental/sleeping disorder? Make it out to be worse than it is and get the help you need. You won't find the help you need online and especially here on GLP.

Thanks, but I think I'll manage. =D

Wasn't asking for help, just venting out the steam.

I know I've got to manage with this as long as it lasts.

Just hoping it won't be too long anymore. =)

I think you need a hug!!

I didn't see you were from Finland. That changes everything.

I am a full blooded Finlander. Born and raised in the US. My folks came from Turku. My relatives there own a popular line of ski wear and apparel. Starts with an L. Not that it matters. But I know Finns are chronically deficient in Vitamin D due to the lack of sunlight. Not to mention the tendency toward depression anyway.

Before you try anything else, start a serious retiming of the miracle Vitamin. Vitamin D cures depression in almost all cases. 5000 IU's a day. Give it a shot. You might be surprised.

Oh, I most certainly do... <3

Hi, and nice to meet you! =D

I think I know the L you're referring to. ;)

Yeah this vitamin D thing has been up a lot.

Been taking a ridiculous overdose for a long time.

Just makes my head work even better, so sadly it doesn't help much either. =D

Well hang in there. When I get down I put on the headphones and listen to Sophia Janook. She takes me away like Calgon.

In fact, that's one of the few things that would actually help.

Can't remember when I had my last one.

It's amazing how easily you get dropped out of absolutely everything when leaving the System. There are still so few of those ready to make the move, that there's not nearly enough mass for anything new to emerge. It's coming through now though, hopefully leading into concrete changes very soon.

check if your brain is getting some calcification

if so

Just 2 teaspoons of Organic apple cider vinegar and add One cup of water

2 times a day can help you sleep mate

L-Theanine, my friend.

200 mg at night if you are having trouble. It will chill you the fuck out without actually making you drowsy. Calms the nerves and thoughts.

You're quality of sleep will be better as well.

I recommend the Dragon Herbs "Tao In a Bottle" formula, simply because it has a number of healthy adaptogens in it as well for only a little more than L-Theanine on it's own.

BTW, L-Theanine is an amino acid that comes from Green Tea.

Yeah, can't do much else. =D

The thing is, I won't get down until there's a good reason for me to do so, such as someone to do it with. Just can't help it. I was doing a lot better 6 months ago or so, but since the summer things have been getting much more difficult. The "energies are shifting" most definitely, and although the direction is good, the process itself is not exactly easy or "nice".

Well, it's the end of the year. Let's hope it brings an end to unnecessary suffering too. =)

Ok, thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, my budget for anything is zero at the moment, but perhaps soon...

Ok, this is new info!

And even I should be able to invest in some apple cider vinegar. =D

Will try this out, thanks! =)
