Help with Life

dunno...don't think comfort is the problem, tho i heard lots of ppl are uncomfortable w/o even knowing it

i dont' see why everyone swears on counting sheep, it doesn't do ANYTHING, lol. and i'm actually someone interested in the news, so more than anything, it would keep me up -_-

 

okay. watch soap operas. they're boing as heak.

 

not really, i watched this soap opera where this lesbian tied up a girl's boyfriend so and was gonna kill him to get to his girlfriend!

 

Evil I am actually going through the same problem right now, I haven't slept more than 5 hours in the last two day. But when I do get to sleep what helps me is looking at a bright screen for like 10 mins in the dark, and then it is impossible to keep your eyes open. Plus nothing is more comfortable then sleeping pantsless, and I am being totally serious, but it helps. Or me atleast

...thats called porn not soap opera

 

havne't thot of that, i'll try it

and it WAS a soap opera, i'm SURE, lol

 

So amazing! what chanel jk jk jk jk lol

get some pills or get a true friend to hit you over the head with a hammer!

 

actualy pills not so good idea, cuz you become dependent on them

 

Yea pill idea, is like a really big no. That will really messup your sleep times.

 

then the hammer treatment!

but really run in place for 20-30 min.

 

There is always a way to make yourself more sleepy, here are a few, try them out:

1. Get out of the house and do something unexpected (but not dangerous) and tire yourself out, it can help make your body more tie.

2. Try not to stay in the same room as the one you sleep in, trust me on it, and do something that makes you feel calm.

3. Watch some Tv, read a book or listen to some music before you go to sleep, its how I get to sleep each night, by listening to some of my CDs, try something like comedy CDs if you can find them, they make you very tired.

Post again if none of them worked

 

Someone who would seriously try to run in place for that long, would get bored of it after about 5 minutes.

The way that always works for me is think of something you like, and just relax, that way, you aren't stressed over anything, you just eventually shut your eyes and doze off, possibly into a good night's sleep.

 

For trouble sleeping, here are a couple suggestions I hope might help you guys.

1. Someone suggested reducing the heat in your room if you can. This can help as being too hot can be annoying and bothersome.

2. Try taking a warm relaxing shower or bath before bed time. If you take a bath, try some Epsom salts or sea salt. It helps you relax more. Also 1 cup epsom salts and one cup baking soda works in a bath. Also, whatever you do, don't make the water -too hot-. It's meant to be soothing and not raise your body temperature.

3. Play some soft soothing music like Enya or the instrumental soft weather music etc. Then close your eyes and breathe slowly trying to relax your mind, clear your thoughts. Breathe in through your nose and exhale from your mouth and do like a count of 10 as you do. The soft music is good for a couple reasons. It helps remove background noise such as the electric sounds etc in a house, or noises outside or from people. The background noise can be a distraction to bother anyone. The music also played is soft so it will hopefully do the trick of relaxing you if you do the deep breathing technique and try to let go of stress of the day.

4. Drink a glass of warm milk about 15 minutes before you want to go to sleep. Mix it with a little chocolate if you want but this will help you relax too. Calcium kind of makes you sleepy.

5. Try sleeping in a room that has good ventilation, maybe a fan in it if you need it. It moves the air and helps. Also, try sleeping on your back or side. Don't sleep on your abdomen if you can help it. This puts a lot of strain on back muscles, whether it feels like it or not.

6. Avoid bright things in the room at night as they may be a distraction. If you need some light, such as a night light, try putting it behind something so you get the dull illumination but not the direct light itself in your view.


Well, there's all I have that I attempt or have been suggested. I'm not really a fan of warm milk but friends of mine swear by it. So I hope it helps you guys out to get more sleep. =:)

 

Does cutting yourself help anything at all? Because right now it seems like a great idea.

 

none worked :(

i dunno, whenever i do that i keep thinking and i never fall asleep

i think these are the best suggestions i heard so far

wat do you think, lol

 

No cutting doesn't help unless it's to remove some form of snake poison made worse from your system which would never happen.

Cutting doesn't help anythiing at all and while it seems like a good idea all it will do is hurt you and that isn't helping anyone at all (especially yourself). While some people says it's proff you have emotions that's not true because everyone has emotions all the time (even emotionlessness is an emotion really).

It also isn't going to help problems that bring you down either because all it does is physical and meotional damage to yourself and also emotoinal damage to the people who care about you as well and me for my empathetic nature.

So please don't do it because it's not going to help at all.

 

Literally everything is going wrong and one of my good friends wont talk to me. My life can't get any worse. I hope :/

 

Can't help with the "everything going wrong" bit.

I do hope you're talking about a RL friend <_<
Anyway, losing a friend is something that happens a lot. Friends will come and go.
But really close friends, that everytime you seem them/talk to them you feel something like a flare inside (in a friendship way), and that he's always there for you and you're always there for him, that's a friend you shouldn't let go of.

And remember, the person obviously has a reason to not want to talk to you. People don't do stuff like that for no real reason. So it's probably something you did.

 

Hey, trust me, a guy who has cut himself in the past, its not worth it at all. You cut yourself, you only get addicted to it, and worse when someone finds out the shame you feel is worse than any pain relief can cover. Just tell us how we can help.

Please, we want to help so tell us how we can, your problems our problem.

This is Peace-and-War, replying in this user. My other one isn't working at the moment.

Hmm, if you can't get to sleep because of one of those, means either you are experencing something different in your life, making you feel uncomfortable and unable to get to sleep. So if you have had something new in your life, like a new routine or a new piece of furniture that you sit in or use alot, try changing your routine, and what you use, to see if it makes a difference.

If not than if your under alot of stress or problems, something thats happening in your life, talking to someone is always a good idea, it feels much better to get it off your chest, talk to me, or someone else you cantrust to see if that helps.

Now if its not any of the ones above, I would say check in with your Dr to get a physical and pyschiatric evvaluation, because I would not know anymore ideas to help you.

 

well....actually, i've been sleeping better this week for some reason. the only different thing i can think of is sleeping in my college dorm instead of at home. but i'm not stressed out or anything, guess i was just having bad luck or something

 

I would strongly suggest that you do not do that. If you have to have some aggression relief, try punching a pillow or something that won't get hurt. Don't mar yourself up over the stress you are going through. You'd have a physical reminder forever if those scars didn't go away about how silly you were 10 or 20 years ago etc. It's not worth that or getting caught and having to explain to someone why. It causes a lot more pain than it helps.

As others said, please feel free to vent here and say what's going on. You have our ears and we are more than willing to listen and assist you if we can. We all go through tough times and we can all help each other through them too.
