I'm soooooooo tired.......


Posted by Brenda on March 10, 1998 at 22:02:29:

I'm so tired all the time, i can't stand it anymore. I can't wake up in the morning. Alarm clocks are a joke. My seven-year-old has to wake me in the morning so I can take her to school. Talk about feeling pathetic!! The only way she is able to wake me is to rip the covers off me, and even then, I am grouchy and disoriented. I walk into walls because i literally can't see straight. If no one disturbs me, i can sleep up to 14 hours. No matter how many hours I sleep, i never feel refreshed. It feels like I've only slept for 10 minutes. During the day, I am always so tired, i can't think clearly. Most days i nap, because i just can't seem to keep my eyes open. My husband has started accusing my of not caring about anything except for sleep. That is just not true! I feel like i am losing control here. It just keeps getting worse. I have always been a "sleeper", but this is getting out of hand. My husband tells me i mumble in my sleep and lately, my legs are aching all the time. My dreams are so vivid, it's freaky. I do suffer from depression, but that is under control with medication (Paxil). I also suffer from frequent headaches that "over the counter" meds just can't touch. I am only 26, but I feel more like 60. I am currently in the process of getting a referral to a sleep disorder center, however, HMOS and their red tape are slowing me down. Can anyone identify with this? I would love to hear from you, i'm starting to feel helpless. This situation is ruining my life!! Please feel free to e-mail me directly. Any and all comments are appreciated. Thanks.
