Have you ever been so tired your sick to your stomach?

Oh dear that would be horrifying having that feeling. Even when not having to work it's still difficult functioning even at home when your so tired - I have to look at a computer monitor all day and I've had times the words and numbers looked as if they were running around the screen - and they weren't really moving at all :(

Thank you dear - never got bad but it was really ugly. Afraid I'm not feeling any better, never did sleep and another bad day today at work. We've had 3 people in our department of 27 quit in the last 3 days - that tells me there is a big problem. Prayers are always greatly appreciated and I know He will answer - in His time, thank you dear.

Well I hope things are going much better now..:)

Thansk so much for the BR..Since I can't be as active as before, those are very few and far between..

Yep all of the above but feeling a little better tonight and hoping I actually sleep tonight - I didn't go to work today, couldn't/can't afford to miss the time but was sick all night and didn't sleep again. I'm actually glad I did it now though, I mean didn't try going to work. Was like a vacation having a day off in the middle of the week.

I'm feeling a little better today - called in sick and spent the majority of the day networking, felt like I actually accomplished some things I've wanted to do for ages and just never had time or got side tracked.

I know it doesn't sound right but yep it does and doesn't have to be stormy to do it - I'm sure a lot of it has to do with added stress and anxiety due to not sleeping (just makes being tired even worse). I'm sure it's connected with not enough sleep and have been working on trying to get more.

I have done that before - the pee thing but have been making a point of making myself go during my lunch break at work, last thing I need is a bladder infection or something. I also know I don't drink enough water and need to work on that to keep my system flushed out. I doubt tomorrow will be any better but thank you for your good wishes and who knows maybe I'll get to leave work early tomorrow - I will celebrate that even though I need the money desperatly.

Survived the night no touch downs or even spottings but I'm telling you I know 'the sign' and we had every indication of one. I know my nerves are on their last thread. Was up most of the night and yet another horrid day at work today - I need a vacation and have no sight of the possibility in the near future.

I actually thought about getting some tylenol Pm today but talked myself out of it :( now I wish I had because I'm still exhausted, didn't sleep at all last night and my mind just won't quit - so much to do, so many things going on, and half to work all week :( I can't read to sleep - I start reading and will be up all night finishing what I started :)

I have been having a horrid time with migrane headaches lately also and am under a ton of stress so maybe it's the stress more than the tiredness that's making me feel sick to my stomach - this is just like the flu but no other signs. Thanks bunches for your well wishes, didn't sleep a bit last night even though I was so tired maybe tonight :)

I ment to check my calendar at work to see if there was a full moon and forgot to do it - I am a firm believer that a full moon brings out the worst. When I worked at the adult foster care home, adults with mental disabilities, we tracked it and nights (I worked 3rd shift, nights) when there was a full moon the residents were always awake a bunch during the night.

Well, has been 24 hours and it's beautiful out now, sun is even shining although it's been cloudy all day we didnt get any more storms... Stress is a huge problem these days I need to find a way to deal with it and not let it effect me so much.

I'm sure that's a lot of my problem - overloaded. Between work, the house situation, youngest son (ADHD at 18), and trying to keep up and progress with my writing, bills, everything just seems to come at me at once and I can't deal with any of it. p.s. made it through the night no tornados thankfully, they do make me nervous and doesn't help any that I sense them :(

I have heard that warm milk helps people sleep and actually used it on a couple residents at the foster care home I used to work at nights but I can't drink milk - got some bad milk years back and I can't bare to look at it now much less even think about drinking it. It did work for the residents though.

You know something I think you have something there - my body telling me it's time to rest just my mind isn't letting me. Time for a health make-over here I think.

I'm sorry to hear you also haven't been sleeping well. Although I didn't sleep last night because of my own choice (up all night promoting articles - stupid move on my part now I look at it in daylight) but did get several good nights sleep. Sounds silly to some but I moved my bed slightly so am laying a bit different direction is one thing I did. The second is I can't fall asleep without the tv on (set timer to turn it off after an hour or so) but I read the colors from the tv screen stimulate your brain. Well, they also said the color 'orange' will help relax the brain cells or something - look at an orange for 10 mintues before going to sleep. Well I can't do that so made a point of each night placing a lite tealite candle (slight orangish yellow glow) right on top of the tv. Not sure which worked but every night I've done it I've slept well.

Actually storms weren't bad at all, strange as we had all the indications of them being really bad. I have been sleeping a little better (until last night when I stayed up all night playing around on the internet). Our call center has been horrible for several weeks now but not just the customers - management is going crazy also so the phone reps are getting hit from both sides.

Hey no problem being 'late' discussion is here until myLot takes it off :) I do know what you mean though - the more you try to go to sleep the more you don't sleep. I've actually been doing better this week - moved my bed slightly and lighting a tea light candle when ready for bed seems to have helped, can't say for sure but have slept better this week.
