Question

I need "serious" help. I cannot sleep "AT" all!!!!!?

To any and who responds, I thank you now for taking your time. My story Is a bit long, but If you want to help, It Is as follows: On the morning of May 30, 2006, 7:59 AM. I had a sever accident at work falling roughly 20' feet down onto a ladder that was still somewhat falling, but still on Its own two legs In an up-right position, and me coming down onto a concrete floor. I broke both my ankles Immediately. Multiple Major sprains scattered throughout my body, tore all of my lateral ligaments In my ankle area, tendons ripped, fractured my HIP In two places "hairline", My ribs were hairline fractured as-well and my back was Injured with Internal bleeding throughout my body, My boss just stood there and never helped me get up, or even check to see If I was still even alive. MRI's showed proof of all, Including a right foraminal disc herniation at LV4-5 with right foraminal stenosis of my lumbar section of the spinal cord. I already had surgery on my right ankle, and I'm awaiting other results of other matters. I'm 6'2" and weigh In at about 240 lbs. kinda a big guy due to working out regularly before all of this. Ive been through Injuries like broken toes, head liaisons and more getting used to crutches like falling down stairs, or falling when trying to use the bathroom because I was medicated and always dizzy. Well since that all occurred I find my biggest problem other then getting some-what better due to God's hands that heal, I cannot sleep for days at a time. Now this causes me big time problems. Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy, all the dark Is to dark, and light Is to light. Sounds are way to loud to my ears, and every time I start to get tired, I JOLT and wake up again. I do not drink nor smoke, do not use any drugs other then pharmaceutical medication Issued by my primary doctor. Thing Is I'm up to the point were I need at the very least 19, Yes "19" pills every 5 hours to rest. I don't want to parish and I know this Is killing my organs and mentally I'm torn apart. Even my own family doesn't really talk to me anymore other then my kid brother who I love so much I'd give my own life for him. I hope he knows I'm so proud of him, but know It affects him negatively, and an older brother whom I helped-out majorly screwed me and In return received nothing but trouble, mental vanquish, major Issues with my mom, who by the way was the one who manipulated me Into helping him out, I guess that's what mom's do because of Infinite love for siblings, I already knew he was very UN-trustworthy and Into drugs and drinking. I only did It for my mom, and only her, I received a very small cash advance that was supposed to come from Frank, but was really my mothers burial money, and this was some real shady business from my older brother, and his so called partner called Luke, a "Kiss" fan. They both knew what they were doing to me with this shaky deal, but knowing no better I Innocently went with It since I couldn't walk as It was anyway. Now and then when we see each-other, he just pretends like there's not a 356,000.00 thousand dollar house that Is still In my name over TWO years later when It was supposed to be three months, and like he always swore to give me a profit of of150.00$ dollars a month from the rent.. Please, what am I gonna do with that, buy me some Gatorade and a few turkey sandwich's. Even that Tiny effort he never for-filled.. I'm sure Its confusing to the reader, but to me Its not, just complicated to those who don't walk In these 13" shoes, I will never forgive nor will I be the same person to Frank and all who had anything to do with my life turning shady and black. And Ray, how could you! How dare you! I'm not a dog.... Luckily I'm not a physical rebellion but I'm like death did us all part to Frank and Ray, and I'm still here through everything for myself and all of who still care, and aren't quick to judge. Money, Laughter, Sleep, Friends, Cool Cars, Going out, Jokes, Holiday meals together, just about everything, even breathing doesn't come easily.. I just wish to have my life back to normal where I work, and "h**l, why not.. hit the gym again, being part of society, Instead of this closing myself off to everyone and staying alone In my room all day,, and maybe If I'm lucky, I might play my guitar or not If I have the energy to do so. Can anyone relate to me, or am I like the only one of my kind with abnormal features which actually keep me ahead of many things, but physically, here I am writing! Does anyone know of somewhere, where maybe I can pack a bag like yesterday and leave my house, admitting myself to be studied/helped and monitored for this very serious condition. This Is no joke so please don't make rude comments. Oh" by the way, when my ex-boss gave up on me, where I can honestly say that I loved him as a father that I wish I had and he let me go with no regard, knowing I had nothing else to go too, that there

Answer 1

I have to be honest with you. I only skimmed through your question since it was so long. I was wrote a very long answer about sleeping problems. I changed it a little to fit your needs.

The methods below might help you to sleep, but it would probably help to talk to a therapist to get to the root of the problem.

You can try of few of the methods below, and see what works best for you. If your sleeping problem gets serious, you may need prescription meds from an MD. It's best to use these meds only temporarily. Send me an email if you need info about sleeping pills.

Depending on the season, a warm bath with lavender oil or whatever oil is most soothing for you, is a great way to relax both your body and your mind. If you can’t take a bath, you can give yourself a foot massage with slightly warm oil, preferably sesame oil or castor oil.

There are herbs that are helpful for sleep, eg, valerian root, kava kava, chamomile, hops, passion flower, catnip. If you get the real herbs, you can make teas out of them. In capsule form, they are available in most health food or vitamin stores. You can try a single herb or combinations of herbs. Probably, valerian root and kava kava are the best. .

What was very helpful to me, especially when my mind was racing, was to lie in bed and listen to relaxation CDs, especially those that contain someone speaking with relaxing music in the background. Many of these CDs are available on eBay for very low prices.

A relaxation technique similar to meditation is relax your body one part at a time. So you could relax your feet, your lower legs, upper legs, moving up from your lower belly up to your chest, etc., etc.

A similar technique is to just let your mind move from one part of your body to another. Just do this spontaneously, seeing where your mind goes next. Of course, guided relaxation methods can help, imagining yourself in the country, the beach, or whatever is most soothing to you.

If none of this c**p works, get a gun and go to a local drug store. Say to the cashier, "This is a stick up. Give me all the sleeping pills you have."

Answer 2

'Tis no wonder you cannot sleep at all, Stevie. You've got WAY too much on your plate! Personally, I feel you should be talking to a licensed professional psychologist or psychiatrist about these issues as soon as possible. I don't think you're going to find the answer you're looking for in here from ordinary people. We are not trained to deal with this kind of problem. Maybe there is someone who is a trained professsional in this site who might catch your question and be able to help you. God bless you.....

(note to self: never complain again about how bad things are in your own life...)

Answer 3

I'm sorry that all happened.

Your boss should have given you a pay even though he let you down, you can sue him actually, falling down such a height and him not caring if you're dead while you were doing HIS job should probably make you get paid your entire life without work.

Answer 4
