I'm sick in bed waiting for DH to come home, & I feel overcome with sadness. I guess I just need a friend.

Hi all.

Normally, I would post this in MH, but frankly, I don't know anyone there, and I wouldn't categorize myself as being OTT depressed just a little melancholic. I'm a little under the weather. I'm on some anti biotics for a nasty ear infection that I've been battling for the past week. I just feel blah and a little sad. The kind of sad you get where you wish your LC toxic narcissist of a mother was in fact a really nice lady that would bring me a nice cup of earl grey tea and tell me that everything was going to be better and that tomorrow will be a better day. opposed to the stark reality of my mother, who would bitch about how busy she is, can't it wait until Friday, I'm housecleaning and don't I have someone else to call? Then she would inevitably try to one up me on how horrible she's been feeling and how no one has come around to check to see how she's doing, so why should she? (even though I just spoke to her two days ago)
I guess I just need some comforting words and a hand hold. If you don't mind, of course.

It's 7pm here now...
I had an hour nap midmorning,expect I will be awake at some point in the night,damn insomnia...
Is your earache any better?x

Well, I hope you at a nice nap at least.
Yes! My ear ache is much better. I've been putting heating packs on it and taking some Advil for the inflammation. Unfortunately, the anti biotics are knocking me for a loop as it makes me feel like I have the flu. I knew this would happen though, I know what anti biotics do, that's why I hate taking them, and try to avoid taking them as much as possible.
Thanks for asking!
How's the insomnia? Do you think you'll be able to get to sleep tonight?

I don't sleep well.i just accept it these days
Have you tried natural bio yogurt?it helps stop all good bacteria in gut being destroyed when on antibiotics

Yes! DH, just bought me some the other day, thank you. It's helping somewhat. I take a prescribed medication that makes me sleepy (it's one of the side effects. But my sister swears by melatonin. Have you tried it? They sell it everywhere here.

Nodding off I can do in record time,DP driven mad by fact I can be out in under 4minutes!staying asleep however is another matter ...1-2 I usually wake up and some nights that's it for sleep.i fell asleep about 10-30/11 last night and was up from 130.average night 4-5 hours.i miss my 9 hours a night...

Stilllivinginazoo Did you sleep better last night? Mine was a little rocky.

Got 11-2 solid sleep.about another 30 mins nap.up at 5am.average sleep!

Awww. Poor thing. That's not enough sleep at all! Have you tried taking Benadryl before going to bed? It makes me really sleepy. A lot of people have success with melatonin or valerian root? Maybe decaf Chamomile tea with lavender? White noise helps me too. We have a television in our bedroom and the sound of airplane cabin white noise helps a lot. You can find the videos on youtube and they usually run about 10 hours.
