A while back I posted that I had stopped sleeping. I had a very difficult month since then, sleeping, then not, then taking some sleeping aids etc.
Finally I got to a counsellor who told me I was completely normal. Because I have strange symptoms going on for four months, and I have tests scheduled for late December I am limbo diagnosis time.
She explained that all this is a lot for the body and mind to take and stress kicks in, with the number one complaint, not sleeping.
Since then I have worked with her to create a sleeping pattern that works for me; but what I REALLY needed to do was to talk to someone about what is going on with my body.
That helped a lot. I know if I don;t sleep well my stress skyrockets, my symptoms get worse and my thinking becomes weird and unclear.
So, if any of you are suffering from something that is giving you stress; I say go and get some help, whatever you need to bring your body and mind back to a functioning level.
I will keep you posted about the weird symptoms, but until then, I am not going to put my body through such a horrible experience as lack of sleep again.
It takes a lot to teach me sometimes, thick-headed and stubborn. But sometimes, when the body speaks, it speaks at a very high volume and then I start to listen.
Feeling way better today than the last time I talked of this.
