Ammity Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I'd rather sleep. When I wake up, my life sucks. I'm anxious, I'm mad, I'm depressed, I'm rageful, scared, sick. But I'm not getting anywhere by sleeping. My unemployment paychecks are getting smaller. But I just can't function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilie Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 can you talk with the doc to get some meds to even out your emotions so you can get to work? my whole wish in this life is to sleep all day and night (ironic isn't it) I'd do anything to be able to do it. insomnia sucks. why can there never be a balance? lilie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds more like a depressive disorder than a sleep disorder. or are you too tired too? i dont know your history but antidepressants and benzodiazepines are helpful, and you could discuss that with your pdoc if ur seeing one..

Probably best to try to get a sleep specialist although I think a GP may also treat it. Even if it's hypersomnia from depression, something like Provigil might work without going to the amphetamines.
