I think I figured it out

Sep. 11th, 2005 at 3:48 AM

I've noticed that my anxiety seems to grow at night. The thought of trying to go to bed makes me cringe. I couldn't figure out why I automatically become more anxious when I think about it, but I think I've figured it out. I can't sleep due to the pain. And I don't even always realize how much pain I'm in until I try to sleep. So then I get frustrated, feel more pain and want to just hide. It's a vicious circle. I just want answers. I haven't felt this way for a while. Because I don't have so many fears about school anymore. It's okay. I can't even explain these fears. It's hard to figure it out.
I just want answers. Maybe having a course of action will help. I like plans, things I can do. Little boxes to check off.
Other than that, I had a great day! The best one in a while. And tomorrow will be better, just gotta get through the pain.
Hugs!
Nickie

Hey, have you tried melatonin? Before I went into the sleep study, I found that the sublingua pills that dissolve under your tongue from the GNC or a store like that worked really well at relaxing me. Maybe that and a relaxing cup of tea... I find peppermint, lavender, fennel, or cinnamon tea to be very relaxing and it helps with pain, too.

Re: Hi Nickie

Actually I suggested that you remove the word "the" from the name of the journal. The name gets truncated on the right so it doesn't completely fit. Maybe just leave it as "national alliance of blind students communy" or else "NABS blog and community." Otherwise you get a double "the" on the userinfo page, which is the part that looks tacky.

Re: Hi Nickie

Also I suggested running it by the board before posting anything to the list.
