*UGH* 4 a.m. and i'm wide awake........

Morning all! So, it's 4:10 a.m. and here I sit, wide awake. Woke up a little bit ago to some palpitations and the shakes, feeling a bit anxious right now. Fun stuff! Popped a half a xanax hoping to calm myself enough to go back to sleep. It probably doesn't help that I had 2 cups of soda a little while before bed either, stupid me. That's a big no-no for me right now.  I'm figuring it's a combo of that, and I just upped my med 2 nights ago from 25 to 50 mgs, so that's not helping me much either. On the plus side, I haven't had a panic attack since i've started taking zoloft again (knock on wood). Well I did have like a little one the other night, but it was more like just an anxiety attack, lasted about 5-10 minutes. (2 different things for those of you that don't know) A panic attack would've had me trying to calm myself for a good hour. So here I sit twiddling my thumbs, so tired. Figured i'd come on to vent a little. LOL! Hope you all have a great day, and feel better today!

Ah Fox, I am sorry that you couldn't sleep last night. I almost joined you in the red-eye club...in fact, I almost got up and probably would have checked the boards/chat...but I did get back to sleep.

First, I woke up out of a dead sleep, thinking that I heard my daughter. I bolted out of bed and went to check on her, only to find her sleeping. I had already turned her light up somewhat, so she stirred and when I asked her if she was allright, she mumured yes...must have been one of those weird dreams that seem so real...

Then my husband had to get up at 3:30 to get ready to leave for a trip. This is when I almost just got up as well, but I forced myselp to try to get back to sleep, and did:)

Try to get a nap in today if you can...if that's not possible, try to get to bed a little earlier tonight.

Caffeine is funny, it can have absolutely no effect on me most of the time, and then one time, I will literally have racing thoughts and jumping limbs all night, weird!

So cut out the caffeinated stuff, and have a better night sleep tonight hopefully! Who knows, we may meet up in the wee hours here some time. (remember that it is late morning/day time for others across the world, like our dear Shanny:)...so you may find some members in chat too)

Take care,
S.C.
