Okay, I've realized . . .

That I've GOT to join this tribe-- if for no other reason than the fact that SOMEone here will probably be up when I can't sleep, and will be good company!!
I actually started on anxiety meds about 2 weeks ago, mostly because I wasn't sleeping, and they really help. Still, nothing's perfect!

    Welcome aboard!

    Uhm, some people on this tribe, and also my Mom, have had good luck with Ambien.

    I've had pretty good luck with Melatonin... and God answering my Mom's prayers about my being able to sleep! :)
    [Usually prayed when she's up anyway... ;) ]

    Hang in there. :)

      Now, Snoopy, how is it that every single tribe I join, you're there? Good thing you're already on my friends list-- we must be twins separated at birth or something!

        Well, Survivor, let me count the ways. :)

        I have OCD and Depression. OCD generates Anxiety. I'm a night person, and add Anxiety, and you have Insomnia. :)

        I may also be in some self-injury/cutting tribes. Or did I unsubscribe to those? Can't remember. Self-Injury is often a problem for OCD sufferers, as well.

        So, before you get paranoid (and no, I'm not in any paranoia tribes!), I am not following you. I was actually in here first. ;)

        And if we were separated at birth, Mom has some explaining to do. ;)

          "I was actually here first" Yes, I know you were, sweetie. I have plenty of issues, but, so far, paranoia is not on the list! And, your explanation of our "tribal roots," shall we say, makes perfect sense. I do also have a fair number of OCD traits and probably qualify for the grand prize diagnosis. However, I don't seem to have any of the paranoia-related ones, like germaphobia, etc. (I think I am more compulsive than obsessive, perhaps!) And, yeah, I used to cut/self-harm. But not since becoming a mother, at least not overtly. Anyway, it's fun to keep finding you wherever I go!
