I am tired

[msgb98]

I am tired seems to say it all.
Perhaps it is because of my age and the time in life I am going through.
Perhaps it is because of all the stress that I have had hit me in the last few years.
Physically and emotionally I have been going through the ringer.
I just want to be able to get a good night sleep.
I am in my late 40's and I know that I am hitting perimenopause.
I can not take hormones due to a blood clotting issue so that is not an option. I also happen to have had some allergies to other medication and as a result I am very hesitant to take anything. I do take vitamins.
I guess it is the emotions that coming with not getting a good night sleep.
I know that part of this right now is because of the time change yesterday. But part of it also is due to fibromyalgia and it causing havoc on any sort of good restful sleep.
I have a lot of stress going on in my life and it seems I can not calm down enough to get a restful sleep.

Hey, I know what its like to not sleep.
The body feels completely jello like. Done.
I just suddenly started not sleeping. Been fighting this for a couple months. I can't sleep at all. Only with sleep meds I might get 2-3 hrs one night. zero the next. My life isnt even that stressful. So anyways, I know this doesnt help you, but you're not alone in trying to sleep. I think i'm gonna fail out of my last semester of school because of this. Also lose my job.

I know that Magnesium has helped me some.
But you have to watch the amount that you take (it can make things run through you).

There are times when life causes stress and perhaps you are in your cycle of that time and I am in mine.
I must admit I had a hard time sleeping when I was in my early 20's and was just out of college living far from home and trying to earn a good living. Hard !!
