Teacher's Pet Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I am trying so hard to deal with this breakup, and I just can't. It's been 13 days (7 with NC), and I'm a physical and emotional wreck. All I can think about right now is whether or not she's lying in that warm, soft bed of hers that I spent so many nights in..... next to someone else. It just hurts so much to think that she's already with someone else.... I don't even know for sure. I have to be at work in 4 1/2 hours, and I'm going out of my mind. I thought I'd be stronger than this, but I'm not. I miss her, I love her, and I want to be with her. -tp
pippen_2k Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Dont stress too much about sleep. Your body is a very powerful machine and can function fine in trying conditions like these.... Trust me, when your body needs sleep, you will sleep! Even if its only an hour. Dont force yourself to sleep either, it dosent work. Turn the light on, grab a book and read .... you will be surprised how good this is in taking your mind off things, and will make you tired. There is nothing I can suggest in regards to the pain your experiencing, but understand that almost everyone on this planet has experienced what you are going through.
Fun2BMe Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone. It's almost 5am for me and I'm still up too, just ended up sending a text to someone I recently met lol. Feeling hurt over a break up has nothing to do with your strength. It is always painful and if you didn't feel any heartache that would not be normal. Things will slowly but surely get better. Maybe have a glass of wine or some warm milk to help you fall asleep!
trillium Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 I've been battling the same sleep problems for a couple weeks now. What's helped me is to try not to look at the clock upon waking. Seeing the time just raises my anxiety through the roof and frustrates me. Sometimes this works, and I'm able to calm myself back to sleep without ever knowing when I awoke.
Pink Amulet Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 It's 4:33 am here now. I am staying up to finish a damn report for the 6am bulletin. I have distracted myself from thoughts of him. I keep myself busy. This is crucial at EVERY hour of the day. It may seen excessive but it is imperative if I am to stay strong.
