been for walk at 1am

[spottitchsam]

hi guys I have not slept for nearly 24 hours,dry mouth has just got to much for me.went to theatre last night with hubby and saw 39 steps it was sort of a comedy version.I did laugh in a few places but then I started to have a panic attack.got worse when I got home because of my dry mouth.I rang the out of hours doctor and he said that there was nothing he could do about my dry mouth,I was all told not to drink a lot of water but to suck a ice cube.nothing worked he is going to ring me back in a couple of hours to see how I am.he also told me that he would not give me sleeping pills now as I would not come to any harm if I did not sleep until I spoke to my own gp in about 7 hours time.all my family was fast asleep so I went for a walk on my own in the dark (which I am frightened of)but after walking for nearly 20 mins I could not get back home has I'm disabled and can only walk a few yards at a time.I did take my mobile with me so I rang my husband and my daughter s phone but they were switched off so rang home phone but that went to answer phone.luckily my daughter rang 1471 found out it as me and rang my mobile.she also came out in her bed clothes to pick me up in her car.my hubby was up in the living room when I got back and sort of shouted at me for not waking him up and going out for a walk on my own.I did not want to wake either of them has my daughter has work tomorrow and my husband is my carer in the daytime so he needs his sleep hubby made me a cup of tea and stayed with me until 2am then I told him to go back to bed,he said he would if I promise to wake him if I needed him and not to go for a walk without him.I know I have got a loving family and I just wish that I could turn the clock back 29 days where everything was near enough perfect.please God take this horrible nightmare away from me and all my wonderful guys on here.x

I can only address the sleeping. This may seem frightening, but you will get to skeep eventually. People have been known to sleep 1-2 hours a day for a while, but eventually normal sleep will come. Try not to work so hard on it.

Take care.

thanks Nicola,I was ok until they upped my dose but the out of hours doctor said I was to speak to my gp before I stopped taking the extra amitriptyline.it was the out of hours doctor that put me up 10mg not my own gp because I phoned them on Saturday and my doctors are shut.x

hi katyjohnstone,what are we like,I live in a little village but it was so quite no cars.we live about 2miles from the m5 and I could here the traffic as if it was 100 yards away.I am petrified of the dark and because it was so quite every time the wind blew it made a horrible sound,leaves/rubbish and branches creaking.I even had to sit down on one of the seats.x

I took a Zopiclone :shrug: Been up since 1:15 trying to get back to sleep.
Time for Cornflakes.
I'm moving to a new place tomorrow so it's probably that, allthough I feel fine about it.
