CBKBM Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 she never once told me that she was upset and she even admitted that I was always there for her and was the only person she could turn to to make her feel good when things got tough. Why couldn't he talk to me first? One of the things I valued most about our relationship was the open, honest, non-judgmental communication. Why couldn't he have told me months ago? There are so many easy little fixes. I don't believe this, but maybe in his mind, if you even have to have that conversation, it's too late. Ok, the realist in me recognizes that ALL relationships fizzle out a little, and love waxes and wanes on a spectrum, and I shouldn't beat myself up too badly for getting into a relationship rut... But if I had known it would end up like this, I would have made a greater effort every damn second of every day.
BB84 Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 L.D.702 - Have you tried taking any kind of medication for the sleeplessness? I have tried some herbal tablets which didn't do anything, I have also tried some non herbal over the counter type drugs but I still can't seem to sleep for more than a few hours. I have a doctors appointment on Friday and I am going to discuss my anxiety and lack of sleep, I am not the kind to normally take things like sleeping pills or other meds I don't need but it's starting to affect my work life and I have quite a drive to and from work...which is not ideal with almost now sleep.
Soat Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 May I suggest some over the counter sleep aids? Other over counter meds which help sleep include Nyquil and Dramamine. Try that.

Thanks, I have already tried some pills containing the same ingredients as Nyquil but they don't appear to be helping, I have been taking them for 3 days and I still wake up at almost exactly the same time during the night and then am unable to sleep. I will see what the doctor says and go from there

I will see what the doctor says and go from there Try taking them when you wake up in the middle of the night, but not when you first go to sleep. Most sleep meds don't have a long duration.

That's a very good idea, I hadn't even thought about that I will try this tonight and hope for some meaningful rest!
His Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) I am so very sorry. The pain is sometimes unbearable. I feel as though someone ripped my soul from me. Not being able to sleep while being haunted of painful memories only compounds it. I hope that you find some peace soon. It's seriously affecting me as well. I break down and cry a lot...loud and hurtful cries of emptiness. I miss him. I miss us. I can't eat, sleep, think straight, etc... Know that you're not alone even though you're feeling that way Many of us here are going through the same agony and share your pain. *Hugs* Edited August 30, 2013 by His Spelling
