Still no sleep. It's almost been a week now. My threshold for putting up with this is getting thin. There have been tears of frustration shed. Also forced tears just to get some moisture into my eyes because they're so damn dry and sore from no sleep. My emotions are all over the place. One moment I'm hyper and bouncy, the next, depressed. I didn't go into uni today because of it and won't go in tomorrow either or Friday if things continue this way.

If I get no sleep tonight, I'm heading in to see a doctor tomorrow (or the chemist for over the counter sleeping pills though I'm not so sure about that). I'll figure it out in the morning. Hopefully Bec will be about so I can talk with her first or I'll phone dad, whoever, see if I can get any information without having to pay for the doctors as well as pills. For now I'm ready to lie down and close my eyes and not sleep (though I'd be so much happier if there was no "not" before sleep in that sentence.

I've had sleep deprivation before, sleepless nights, but never this many. It's really starting to tear at my sanity. And not in a good way.

I haven't been sleeping for the last few days more than 4 hours a night, and I'm sympathetic to how you are obviosly suffering even more.

I hope you'll be able to sleep soon. ♥

*hugs back*

Ouch, that's no good! I hope you can get some more hours in!

Thanks.

I would definitely go for a doctor rather than just getting drugs from a chemist, drugs are really just masking the problem rahter than solving it. Good luck bb. *squishes*

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. Hoping I can afford it all.. that's my main concern after the actual sleeplessness thing.
Thanks, *hugs*

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting not everyone has the NHS. Although that said, the NHS would probably just give you drugs anyway. The government is too cheap to actually treat people's problems.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

NHS? No idea what that is... ?

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

English free healthcare. No one has to pay for medical aid here. Unless for whatever reason their problem is not covered under the NHS, which is unusual because you can even get breast implants by saying that your small breasts are causing you mental anguish.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Wow! It's like $50 an appointment here or thereabouts! So not fair. *pout* Hoping the email I sent to the parents will inspire some monetary donation to help me afford it.. :P

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be good!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Definitely. No luck with dad, it looks like. He offered advice but being male, didn't get my hint about not being able to afford it. Up to mum now.. :S

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

Mums are usually better at picking up hints. My dad's completely obtuse.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

True. Mine is usually all right at it.. but sometimes not so much.

Mum OTOH, when it comes to me she's rather clueless, we don't get along, but she's normally willing to help out when health is concerned, so...

[lunaspec-gimmy.livejournal.com]

I hope you get it sorted out. This level of insomnia is a bit out of hand!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks, agreed!

Oh babe that's horrible, I hope you get some sleep soon! It sounds silly, but try having a big evening meal with a hot drink, then lie down about ten minutes after -- biologically that's when we're most likely to slip into sleep ♥

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Got sleep last night. :)

Big meal + hot drink never works for me. It makes my body more tired but my mind sooooo much more active and that's what my problem has been with this lack of sleep thing. So... Thanks for the suggestion though.

[ankareeda.livejournal.com]

*huge hugs* I can't imagine what you're going through. I hope you find help soon!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Slept last night! Feel so bad now lol but it's great.

[mialicia.livejournal.com]

Awwww, girl! I'm sorry you're dealing with that; I hope, if you do go to the doctor, they can figure something out.
♥

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Slept last night.. :)
Docs is still a maybe.. but for now, yep.

[heylittleriver.livejournal.com]

Holy fuck, woman. How are you even functioning? *hugs*

Do you go to uni for the docs? Do they not bulk-bill you? It definitely shouldn't be costing you $50 for the appointment - I pay about $18 at my docs and that's only because I haven't got a health care card. And most of the unis bulkbill. Do you have a HCC because with what you're living on, you should definitely qualify.

(Um. Excuse the giant paragraph thrown at you?)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*shrug* *hugs back*

I do have a HCC but the places I've been tend to be about $50 and then a trip into medicare to get some of it back. I think.

Np :)

[heylittleriver.livejournal.com]

They're not bulkbilling you then. I don't know if you have a regular doc that you wanna stick with, but if not, can I suggest trying to find one that bulk bills? It'll save you a heap of money (and I'm sure the uni must).

*removes stickybeak*

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Blehh okay. I have little clue about this sorta thing. I'll check next time before I go in. Don't go to the docs often thankfully..

:D No need. It's helpful.

[silent-snark.livejournal.com]

Insomnia really, really sucks. I hope you get some sleep soon.

PS Next time you read one of my jacked up posts, now you'll know why. lol

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

It really really really does. *nods*

:P Indeed.

[moony-blues.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I feel your pain. I've had a lot of trouble sleeping lately, but that's mostly because of HOMG-we-have-to-sign-a-contract-for-a-house-in-two-weeks STRESS!

I agree that the doctor might be able to help better than a chemist. Drugs sound nice, but they really only cover up the real problem, which could be any number of things. The doctor will help you find the reason you're having problems sleeping.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

:( That's no good. Stress = evil.

Yeah, I did sleep last night but havent ruled out the docs yet. Depends on the next few nightsand all that.

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

I think that's a good idea, honey *snuggles* too many days without sleep... bad. Very bad.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

What's a good idea? o.0 Doctors?
It's not ruled out but since I've slept last night I'll give it a few more days first...

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

Yes, the doctors :-P

That's fine, but if you realize sleep only comes through pill-taking, the doctor would be a good option to have... especially if he happens to own a Blue Police Box :-)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

M'kay.. yeah.. Well.

Police box type doctor will probably result in more sleep deprivation actually... :P

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess you're right, but if that's the result of sleep deprivation, I wouldn't really mind it, actually :-P

[anna-sg1.livejournal.com]

Definitely doctor first then pills. At least you'll have professional advice.

Hope you sleep and dream very soon! ♥

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Slept last night, yay. Hopefully it continues..

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

*hugs*

[love-kate-walsh.livejournal.com]

I am so tired these days as well. But not because I can't sleep, simply because I can't seem to get to bed at an appropriate time. Damn all those good fic writers xD

I'm all for the seeing a doc thing. You really should see someone if you still can't sleep. After all, no sleep for several days is very unhealthy.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Aww shame that. lol. ;)

Mm yeah. I agree.

[banana7pancakes.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I really hope the doctor suggests something that can help. Going without sleep is never good :/

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Sleeping pills, I got last night (and as a result, slept last night, feel like crap now though lol). Haven't ruled out docs though.
