that's it really

wish I was drunk - I am not
wish I didnt have so much going around my head - I do
wish I was asleep, or dead - I am not
wish I didnt keep wishing - I am

not sure how to deal with this

right naswm let me give you the best advice i ever ahd whilst feeling like this particulalry at bed time.

You need sleep, it will help you through tomorrow. But presumably you have so much going on in your head you don't possibly think you can switch off...if this is the case then please go to bed, turn the radio on, listen to talksport or radio 5, topical debate etc.

Not trying to downplay how you feel but wnated to give you some practical help

naswm
been where you are
you need to find a way to go to sleep

tommorow will be better

bundle · 11/06/2008 23:22

don't worry about not sleeping just try something like the radio, world service is good. as are samaritans, a voice is a good thing at this time of night when you're feeling strange

controlfreakyagain · 11/06/2008 23:22

x posts tr!

katiekkrruunncchh · 11/06/2008 23:23

NASWM, when I get my laptop back I will.

Not sure I am much company as I am feeling very sorry for myself! Fell over this evening and hurt my knee - lovely bruise!

Amphibimum · 11/06/2008 23:24

naswm · 11/06/2008 23:24

thanks everyone - I have just started a new Ian McEwan book - enduring love - maybe /I should try again. But goiong to be sober and without pills is so hard for me, and right now I just want to walk out the door and never come back. Except I have no clothes on (dont ask)
