I've nearly resorted to Nyquil just to get some kinda rest, but i don't have any. :hmph:

The past few days, i've been worried about money problems, since my family's about $300 short of our $400 rent and have no more money coming in before the first. Also, i'm having typical relationship problem, feeling like i've totally fucked myself and the complete paralyzing fear of being alone. :sad3:

All i wanna know is how to get my mind rested enough to sleep. I just want it to shut up for a bit so i can sleep. :rage:

Any ideas?
 
Im in the same boat. Although Im a lot more weaker than you in avoiding popping the pills, if anything can help me sleep I will try it!

As the relationship issue stands, you should really be talking to your partner about the issues rather than us, why are you so afraid of being alone? that seems like a major issue here rather than the relationship itself! also your young you dont need to depend on someone else for your happiness, you and you alone can alter your path in life, dont let other people hold you back!

Go out experience the world and accept the pain and suffering that comes along with it! because it reminds you that you are alive! and its the only way us humans learn!
 
Sounds to me like you need to be on a mild

antidepressant.Cymbalta or Celexa.

It won't kill you and I have known people on those and they have been helped by them.

They do tend at times to make you sleepy so you might need to be on wellbuterin to counter the sleepy effect.

Give it some thought.

Good luck.:megusta2:

As for being alone, I don't understand the fear of that.I do understand love.Do you love your partner. If so keep trying to work things out.If you don't love them there are other fish in the sea as people say.

There's more I could say but as I have been criticized on other gaming forums for saying too much about myself I'll let the temptation pass.

Good luck to you once again.

Donating plasma(blood) is a decent and legit method of earning quick cash.

Credit cards can be a decent means of utilizing credit.

Hm. Not sure what to say. When I was in a situation like that a few years ago, I wound up working 16+ hours a day, 7 days a week. Working was the easy part, the stress is what made it suck.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone. :x
 
I'm not really the best on the finance advice. I've never worked a day in my life, which I guess is pretty odd (but I do go to school, so I guess I have that going for me). I can, however, help a bit with relationship stuff and the advice I give to you is to talk to the person you're dating and see if there is anything they want to talk about (at least, if you haven't already). If there's something wrong, figure out a compromise. You seem like a person willing to do that, which is great. If your partner isn't, then maybe they just aren't a good partner for you. Relationships are about compromise and trying to do one's best (reasonably) to help make the relationship stay intact and to make the other happy. Either way, I believe things will work themselves out in the end. Just have faith in something, whether that be in yourself, in a deity, or etc. Just have a goal and things will be revealed to you.

Good luck, Tate, and if you ever need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open. :)

I'm strongly against this notion. I know from "2nd" hand experience due to a person close to me taking it. It does not do well with people that DO NOT! have a chemical imbalance. It will cause even more woes and worries to be honest.

I've seen folks go completely numb and not be able to do much in terms of job, family, or anything else. It's a strong little pill. Personally unless you are actually depressed, in which you are not, you might be going through a rough patch.. I would say do not follow this notion.

As for the relationship problem, sorry to hear. It happens though, gotta move on though sometime.
 
Kylie il be honest with you. You always make threads about your relationsip problems. Ive lost count of the number of times youv said you were having problems with andy and that your conidering leaving him for someone else whom i wont name. Though people probably know who im talking about anyway.
Dont you think its unfair to him to constantly make threads here? Consdiering hes a member and could easily read them. Always seems to be the same thing aswell. Why dont you just make a decision and do something about it. Im not being nasty here but you really need to decide what you wanna do with yourself and make a final decision.

As for not sleeping. Forget pills. No decent doctors gunna give you pills when youv been unable to sleep for just a short while. If you get your head clear you wont stay up worrying. Sooner or later though no matter how stressed you are the tiredness will beat you and youl sleep.
 
I've had insomnia due to stress quite a few times. Talking about what's stressing you helps a great deal. I also used herbal teas or a sleep aid that wasn't habit forming. Sleep aids are only a temporary fix though as they eventually just stop working. Use it one of two days to get some sleep but you'll have to address what's stressing you at some point.

As for your relationship issue, I don't think there's a person on this forum that can help you at this point. You've made numerous threads asking for advice and even when advice is offered, it doesn't seem to sink in because you're making the same thread a few months down the line. You're going to have to figure that out on your own. It sounds like the only reason you're still with the person is because you're afraid to be alone. Being alone isn't the worst thing in the world and it's certainly better than staying in a relationship that isn't making you happy.
 
Relax. Money issues are shite, I have them, everyone has them, no need to panic over it. If you're really struggling to pay the bills this month take out a small loan or a credit card and then start preparing for the next month so you're not short. Get a part time job or something. Or if you have one, try finding one that pays better.

In the SB you said you're going to England soon.... do you have to do that or can that money be put to something better like the bills so you're not up late worrying? Priorities, priorities.

The sleep thing....just close your eyes you'll eventually fall asleep, just lay there, put your phone away so you don't go on the forum or anywhere else and you'll drift off. Every Tom, Dick and Harry has 'Insomnia' these days. It's nothing, you're just not falling asleep because you're worrying about things that don't need worrying about.

Relationship thing... lulz... srsly get a grip woman you're scared of being alone? So you're going to put yourself and this poor dude through some shitty relationship that isn't even working? I see, I see. I broke up with my bf after 2.5 yrs together, I was a little worried about being alone, having the bed empty at night etc but omg, let me tell you it's the best feeling ever, being able to do what I want, no pressure, it's amazing.

Get out of this relationship, give the poor boy a chance to find happiness with someone who cares about him enough to not mentally and/or physically cheat on him and you get your priorities straight.

Worrying is stupid. Relax.
 
Id rather be alone than someone I dont really want to be with. People that need to be in relationships to be happy need their heads testing. You cant expect someone else to make you happy, you need to be happy in yourself, or you wont be happy in whatever relationship you end up in just becaise you dont want to be on your own. seriously, how long has this been dragging on now? Why keep making these threads for advice when you quite clearly jut stay in the same rut?

Just carry on being miserable with him, that's what youre gunna do anyway - so why bother asking?
 
You are using a computer of some kind, sell it, if you really need the money that badly you will need to sell things to make some quick cash, and what about food, gas, electric and the like?

As for your relationship issues, can't help there as you haven't been very specific although if you'd like to chat feel free to PM me, I also see from Big Casino's post that your BF is on these forums as well, I don't know who he is but if he's reading this then the PM invitation extends towards you as well, I know it always seems like everyone takes the girls side in things like this and I just want to offer independent non-judgemental advice to both of you if you would like to accept it.
