Dana, I'm worried about you! I read your post in the Ashlee thread about blacking out and almost being killed. You said it was probably from lack of sleep. It's more likely that you are not eating enough to keep from blacking out from the weakness. Please, please see a doctor if you aren't. (I don't remember; sorry http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif ) I haven't been around as much lately, but I'm still concerned. Mel

I'm fine. I'm eating plenty trust me. It's the sleep *sigh* ALthough I felt fine when I left. Everything has just been goin downhill and I have to admit that since then I've started purging again, after not doing it for quite a long time. Ah well, I don't know what to say. Just no worrying...I'll be fine, I think.

Dana, I was also concerned when I read your post, but I didn't say anyting, cuz I thought either you'd bring it up or someone else would...hehe, and i was right.

blacking out is dangerous buisness, i am sure you realize this!

Hope you're feeling better, and good luck with the b/p cycles...they're hell to get out of, but you've done it before you can do it again!!

NEVER GIVE UP

How much sleep are you getting per night on average? Can you get more? I don't get enough during the week and then I end up sleeping too much on the weekend, but I just got to get caught up somehow. I know not everyone has the luxury of "catching up". I don't have kids - and pretty much choose my own weekend schedule, so if I need to sleep, I do.

Blacking out was a warning sign and you were either "lucky" or "blessed" to survive the near miss. Try to make a change that will help you avoid a repeat. OK? Mel

Thanks guys. I can't tell you how long it's been since I've gotten even close to a reasonable amount of sleep. Months and months, as no exaggeration. Anyway my co worker told me she had a similar problem and she discovered this certain sleep aid pills. So I said I would gve it a shot. They say to take 2....but she said even a half works great. So tongiht when I was with my partner running errands, we stopped at this place and I got a box. I toook one now and hopefully things will go well and I can get some sleep. I get so exhausted, physcially and mentally at work....full time mon-fri. but even the weekends I'm booked and since my body is used to getting up at 6:45am everyday, no matter hwo late i go to bed, I wake upo at the exact same time.......besides, my new puppy is up by that time and he needs to go out, along with my other dog lol. I can never get back to sleep of course. Ah well. I hope this helps, it's a last hope thing http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif I realize how lucky I was the other night, and it is a warning sign. See, things do happen for a reason. Ah well anyway , on average, I get about 4 hrs of sleep a night...but I wake up constantly and I am awake but I beieve im actually in the dream....and I do weirdo stuff...but i can remember exactly what i did later, but I dont realize it's me in my dream. Hard to explain..... i always wake up in different rooms or on different ends of the bed.....it's soooooo messed up....it's scary really. Ah well I think this pill is slowing me down, so I'm gonna snag some dreams adn hopefully peacfull sleep for once! http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Wish me luck......
