Insomnia hate! tell me I am not alone?

[nellypope]

Have been awake since 2am this morning with insomnia hate. I use this term for when you can't sleep and you find yourself wishing delusional grandiose acts of revenge on those who have upset/wronged you etc. usually by the time its morning and daylight has returned you wonder what the hell you were thinking! but rest assured next time you can't sleep it will be the same. The delusions border on evil genius status . . . Anyway, does anyone else find this applies to them?

On tonight's billing were, in no particular order: Best mate ( for forgetting my birthday), overseas parents ( because they live overseas) and the bin men!

You aint.

Also listing what i still have to do! Next day/ year/ in lifetime

My mind works OT at night xx

[lady-janine]

hello there. i'm just awake and have been for a few hours.

[jd_here]

No Nelly, you're not alone, there are thousands of us out there, although I must admit to having got past 4am, just, today.

[tinkerbell23]

Ive not slept at all yet x

[nellypope]

My poor bin men do not deserve the fate I have just imagined on them, not sure anybody does! ;-) I have started reading Michael McIntyres book, the girl with the dragon tattoo and various other 'sample' length starts to books on iBooks (too tight to actually buy the full version) & watched 3 episodes of Father Ted! and still I'm hoping to get the opportunity to open a serious can of whoopasss on the inhabitants of the market town I live in!!

a case of insomnia can leave you you feeling out of sorts, and your mind doesn't function in the same way as when you get a decent amount of sleep, and i don't hate anyone, only myself perhaps for being such a wuss over illness, it's debilitating to the nth degree

[tinkerbell23]

....pretend arguments in ur head whilst lying awake! Lol xx

[emmie]

i have done that, argued with others in my head, all the rotten things i wanted to say to those who have caused me grief, but it's so pointless, they wouldn't care that i stay awake because of some perceived slight, so now it's better those thoughts don't encroach, or at least leave them until one can do something about it.

[nellypope]

Its most definitely a pointless exercise! Personally I am blaming the cider and apricot chicken casserole my husband and I had for dinner, he has just woken up telling me that he dreamt evil revenge on an old girlfriend who dumped him for a mate from years back, he went into quite elaborate detail as to how they would meet their demise ;-) I would like to blame the fact Im 36 weeks pregnant on my insomnia but to be honest I've had insomnia hate for years, . . . I blame FaceBook ;-)

I get this too. but maybe it's not pointless. I think my insomnia is caused by unfinished business lurking around my head, so if I finish it by thinking about it then it's a kind of therapy inflicted on you by nature.
I know a few people who suffer from insomnia and all of them to a degree have unfinished business which plays on their mind- my wife used to say however that I just thought too much and over analysed everything, but then she's someone who deals with everything as it goes along and bins any feelings of regret, hate, malice, guilt as soon as they crop up.

Do you ever wish there was someone to chat away to? There never is in the
early hours. Even downstairs I can hear hubby snoring!

[Teddy_boy]

I often cant get to sleep but i havent wished anything bad on people. Bit strange in my opinion.

[weecalf]

Do you have a fever of sort this can make you imagine all sorts of things

[AB Editor]

When I used to suffer from insomnia I experienced this, it's a good phrase for it.

The only revenge I plan is -- on Hubby snoring his head off next to me!!

[tommy-h]

cupid is husband in cellar? Ann86 AHHHHH!

[espookid]

I can't sleep either at the most 3 hours but I think you have two problems insomnia and hate ,reminds me of my ex she could hate someone walking on the other side of the road ,she didn't know but that meant little to her
