It's like I want to sleep all the time. I sleep 10-12 hours per night and still wake up feeling tired----I wake up and just lay there---don't want to get up. It's not that I don't have a reason to get up----I own two businesses. I just don't have the drive or energy to do anything.

Yes, I can totally relate. This didn't really start for me until my doctor kept upping the dosage on my meds. It's like I can't get enough sleep. And I end up not taking care of priorities, and feel really guilty, and like a slob, but it feels so good to lay down.

I'm sorry that you're having the same feelings. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

I can understand what you are saying when you talk about wanting to stay in bed. I am that way myself. In fact, I am at my happiest state when I am in bed asleep. Right now I am having a problem dealing with two major issues that are causing me to be depressed. The first issue is having recently become disabled, and secondly, I have an immediate family that treats me like I do not even exist. Being depressed most of the time, it is no wonder that I feel tired as often as I do during the hours that I am awake. Even though I bought the program a couple years ago, I never got around to starting it due to my tendency to be a workaholic--right up to the time I became disabled. Now that I have my disability retirement, I intend to make it a point to go through the program. Thanks for listening!

JH, I'm so sorry to read about your disability. I can't imagine how hard that is for you. I have a friend who became paralized 3 yrs ago. At first, he was ANGRY---but he learned to "deal" with his disability. Now, he doesn't let a fly lite on him! Secondly, people will treat you ONLY how you allow them to. Good luck on the program

My bed has become my enemy, I cannot sleep and wake very early if I do.

OMG, I thought I was the only sleepyhead???
Glad to see I am not alone. OH...my bed is so comfortable, OH....I feel like all my problems just melt away under my covers and my tons of pillows!!!! I do sleep well, I get into REM sleep without difficulty....BUT MAN when I am in it, I am part of it. I was born tired. I went to doctors for being tired all the time and they never found anything wrong. BUT oh, I just love to sleep!!!!! creamcheesepuff
