Coming from a fellow insomniac/depression sufferer, etc... just want to say I feel your pain. I mentioned this in another comment that maybe you want to try valarian root in addition to Ambien. Valarian is a natural safe herb, I take it every night to help me relax and get tired and sleep (YAY!!). It helps tremendously!<BR/><BR/> As for this Mike being skeptical about your problems, I've had similar experiences in my family, and I'm sure you don't need his validation to tell you that the health issues, etc... you're experiencing are real, and valid. Some family members are just like that, skeptical, and it sucks when they can't understand or support you (trust me, I know!!) I'm sure you're a strong gal and will work through things. Its just difficult when people from an outside perspective try to tell other people what they're doing wrong in their lives and what 'they'd' do if they were in their shoes. I think its ludicrous! <BR/><BR/>On another note, I'm a huge believer in alternative therapy for this kind of problems which includes herbs, carrot juice, healthy diet, etc... e-mail me if you want any advice! (not that I'm an expert, just want to share what works for me). I've found a lot of stuff that's helped me out naturally. Here's my e-mail: ladymusique@yahoo.com <BR/><BR/>Either way, hope you have a great Christmas Wendy and are getting more Zzz's! <BR/><BR/>Wishing you the best, JessicaJessica D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00712428471209435300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-4468838430480933462008-12-17T14:49:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:49:00.000-05:00Dear Lord child!I had to quit reading at about "Ho...Dear Lord child!<BR/>I had to quit reading at about "Home Depot" I was so tired I had to take a nap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-19745413931221927232008-12-17T14:48:00.000-05:002008-12-17T14:48:00.000-05:00Texas Chainsaw Massacres???

We were talking about it in my english class, and there was a story of a family that was terrorized by people that would sneak into their house and do things like cut their arm and then leave before they woke up.<BR/>And then it escalated. But of course, I haven't seen the movie. I just remember that my teacher and a couple students were discussing it and talking about that event.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675576869395449536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-5242664356308155402008-12-17T11:53:00.000-05:002008-12-17T11:53:00.000-05:00Wendy, do you have a sleeping routine?

Meaning, do you take your medications and your Ambien at the same time every night? <BR/><BR/>You can take my unsolicited advice or leave it, but I know that for people with chemical imbalances, getting on a routine is a huge factor in helping get stabalized. I think that if you try to go to bed at the same time every night, it will start to kick in and your body will adjust and be able to sleep normally again. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Kristina P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16144488639100871226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-62114072634942430822008-12-17T10:24:00.000-05:002008-12-17T10:24:00.000-05:00Glad that you got some sleep.

Hope you can get to sleep okay tonight. I know it can't help you deal with the depression when you're sleep is still so off. Stinking Ambien!<BR/><BR/>When I was in third grade, I learned recorder like all of the other 3rd graders. That's where I learned to read music, but I had all of the letters written above the notes for ever. It finally sank in. I started flute in 7th grade, and I can't remember how the band teacher taught us. I agree that your music teacher was quite lame. My daughter's been taking flute since 4th grade. She's pretty good, but really doesn't have much on the kids here who've only been doing it since 6th.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694698090097158424.post-60688953221275003752008-12-17T08:11:00.000-05:002008-12-17T08:11:00.000-05:00I'm glad you were finally able to get some sleep.A...I'm glad you were finally able to get some sleep.<BR/><BR/>And I want to see Four Christmases it looks cute.Just SOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185859150181585109noreply@blogger.com
