    Well, here I am, 1:24AM and I've just woken up feeling like CRAP again. I seriously am so sick of this. I can't take it anymore. I'm tired of losing sleep due to this... I'm tired of feeling ill. Its just not fair. Its not fair! I don't know what else to do at this point other than cry my little eyes out. I wish I could just sleep normally, and sleep through this because I know in the end that I won't be sick, so its like, why do I go through this!? Why do I put myself through this!? Its just additional stress on my body. Every time this happens I just feel so hopeless and depressed. I just don't know what to do. Sometimes I just want to die, its like, what's the point of living a life where you hardly feel healthy and happy because you're healthy? I'm so frustratedI could hardly see straight.


    Someone please offer me some reassurance. [img]smileys/smilies_16.gif[/img]

    aaaw calm down!

    everybody feels this way at some point. i know the feeling exactly. and
    as you said, nothing is going to happen. whenever you feel sick again,
    just sit up in your bed, turn your light on, and start breathing in
    through your nose, and breathing out through your mouth, counting the
    seconds of every breath.

    you will start to feel more relaxed and focus on your breathing instead of your stomach.

    it has helped me through some major panic attacks.

    good luck [img]smileys/smilies_39.gif[/img]

    Allie (((((hugs)))))


    i know how u feel hun. i know how frustrating it is. i spend every minute of every day feeling nauseous. and it pisses me off to say the LEAST. but you really do need to jst prove to urself tht ur not gnna get sick during the night, so that u can calm ur over-active mind down and get a good night's sleep. i know i make it sound so easy when its not... but what else can u do? because u cant sit there like this everynight killing urself with frustration. altho not literaly i hope.

    Sorry you're feeling down Allie. I know what you're going through. It sucks. It's so hard to not get depressed about this all, and I go up and down all the time myself. The night is the worst and hardest time becuase the seconds just crawl by and you feel so alone, but you're not alone!! I hope you're doing better.

    Thank you everyone for your replies and support. I wish you were here when I was freaking out. I'm doing alright now. Of course because I missed out on sleep, I'm exhausted. I didn't get sick... I never do. I mean, I'm nauseated every single day like you Jenneh, but the only time I can't handle it AT ALL is at night. I don't know why that is. So yea, this morning I'm doing alright. Thank you so much for your caring support! <Hugs everyone!>

    Hi Allie, I'm glad you are feeling better right now. I feel bad because I logged off my computer at like 1:20 AM...I wish I would have stayed online so I could have sat with you and talked to help ease your pain. Well by the time you read this you will be home from work, hope you had a good day.

    Hey there,


    I know how frustrating it is to be awake with a damn stomach ache when you need sleep. It really rots, and especially when you know its not gonna make you sick, and all you end up doing is losing sleep over it and being exhausted the next day. Its really frustrating. Ive gotten this for stretches of weeks sometimes, and just know that your not alone.

    im pleased ur feeling better now. i know what u mean abt the night too. i feel most vulnerable at night time. i dont really know why - perhaps coz everytime ive got sick its been in the night. i just feel really unaware and off guard if im sleeping. i cant be in full control of my body if im aslleep. i think that is the same for most of us witht the night time worry.

    Hey all.. thank you again for making me know that I'm not alone in this. It is now night time again, and although I won't be going to sleep for another 4 hours or so, we'll see what happens tonight. I hope I get a good night's rest, as well as all of you.


    xoxo
