me up. I just can't seem to get going in the am. I know I'm not happy. All I want to do is stay in bed all day andthen when the sun sets i'm up for the night. Well, I try to sleep around 12 or 1 at night. I get 8 hours of sleep but I'm still too tired to do anything the next day so i get more depressed. We just moved here from outta state almost 3 weeks ago. I still have boxes lining the walls of my small apartment. I'm not getting the help i want from my dh. I feel like my ds depends on me way too much for things he knows he can do. The only time I get alone is in the middle of the night while everyone is sleeping. I dont' see my new psych until the 31 and I run out of an Rx before that. There are no refills on it. But I am supposed to be getting off of it anyway soon because we are going to start ttc this fall and I can't be on any of the psych meds. I was going really good upuntill the other day. Moving outta state always does this to me now that I have a kid and better relationship with my sister and the rest of my family. I guess in a way i'm home sick. Usually at the end of the day I can say my life is good. i don't mind my life how it is. It could be better but at least it is this good. Well, i don't feel that way as of last night. I hurt. Does depression hurt you? physicly? If anyone can help me please do! It did make me feel good to see and hear my son laugh today at the park.

Geez, I know about the trouble sleeping. My bp is mostly under control, but I continue to have nasty insomnia that has only gotten worse since my mother's death. I have a script for Ambien, but my insurance will only pay for 14 pills a month. I am trying to save them because I start school next week and I want to be sure I have them to use when I REALLY need to get to sleep.

Sorry, can't help you much with the depression, but I am using your post as an excuse to complain. At least you have a buddy up in Ontario who is up watching Conan with you;)!

I can honestly say that when I'm feeling really bad too and my ds does something that makes me crack up, it does help...and I just keep hanging around him...now if he's driving me nuts, forget it, I go hide somewhere.

I'm confused. Sorry about the insomnia! It is always nice to have somewhere to complain!

Donna,
ds is 4. I'm listening to him in the bath playing right now. It does make me happy.

I was referring to the show, "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". It's something I watch quite a bit when I can't sleep. I guess you're not a fan;)?
