Question

I have insomnia.It could be from anxiety or depression.What about you?What causes your insomnia?

Answer 1

lol I do majorly, thats why I'm on this site at 4:00 am when I should be in bed. mine is caused from stress and anxiety. I tried ambien for a while it helped quite a bit, but I would sleep all the next day. i just think way too much when I'm lying in bed I have to have the tv on or listen to some meditation music. I just hate going to bed to, I always feel like I'm missing somehting. like right now I took some meds a few hours ago and I couldn't keep my eyes open, I should have climbed into bed and got some sleep but instead I fought it and now the drowsiness is gone. good luck to you

Answer 2

If I made money off worry, I'd never have to work again. It's worse at night. I feel guilty about it because I feel like if my faith was stronger I wouldn't stress out so much. I worry about stuff at night that hasn't even happened yet, and probley won't, but at 3:30 in the morning, sleep deprived, you can really freak yourself out and have unjustifiable fears. At what point do we stop, and let go and let God. They say to give all your worries to him, but I think he gave us a brain for a reason. Where do we draw the line at problem solving and letting go and letting God. I said something on here the other day that this girl really liked, but I find it hard to practice what I preach sometimes, ya know. She was talking about her husband cheating and just got divorsed, with a 9 month old and when to date. I said a few things and then ened it with, "Give the steering wheel to God. He will never steer you into the wrong place, with the wrong people , at the wrong time." I don't know what it is that makes you not able to sleep, but I know one of the things the devil love's to smack me around with is worrying about loved ones. Definatly tell your doctor if you even think you have anxiety or depression. There's doctors for a reason. But, comming from someone who can stay awake all night in fear even after taking 300mg of seroquel, Ambian, and xnax, a pill or doctor can't fix this problem. I've built a tolerance to this stuff. It used to just nock me out. Now I'm back to insomnia again. When you just take a pill, you're putting frosting on a moldy cake and masking the problem. If you do go to the doc. and he prescribes you anything for this, you still should address the spiritual side of it too. Because once you get immune to the med.'s, it's just back to you and God again.
