what are you scared of?

I read the glaciers in Greenland are melting too. That should raise sea level by 25 feet. Goodbye Florida...

Since we live close to the Georgia border, that means beach front property. I can fish in our back yard!

Your yard might be full of refugees!

If I get a prescription sleep aid like Ambien, I wonder if I'll build up a tolerance to it after a while, causing it to stop working. However, I know someone who was on it for 10 years before building up a tolerance.

I'm sure this is obvious, and something you've already tried or discounted, but have you tried melatonin? It's supposed to help regulate the sleep–wake cycle. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I'm considering it because I work weekend nights (7p-7a) and go back on a regular daytime schedule during the weekdays to help care for my family. I have co-workers who swear by it.

Yeah, I've tried it, and it might make it so I can fall asleep a bit sooner, but it isn't strong enough to keep me on a 24 hour cycle. With the melatonin, I may fall asleep 40 minutes later than the night before instead of an hour, but it won't make it so I can fall asleep at the same time as I did the night before.

Dang, I figured you had already tried it. At the place where I work sometimes antidepressants, like trazadone and remeron, are prescribed for sleep instead of depression. Also some people think doxepin works pretty well. I'm sure you've probably already thought of (or tried) all of those as well. Hope you find something that helps you get some sleep.

I'm hoping that once I see a sleep specialist and get a formal diagnosis, I'll be able to get a prescription for something that will work. I just hope I won't build up a tolerance too quickly to whatever is prescribed. Not being able to maintain a normal sleep pattern has also made be depressed, it makes me feel like I'm watching life go by without being able to participate.

Omg someone please help they found a way in

 

[CarpCharacin]

I am extremely scared of what will happen if my sleep problem can't be treated.

 

[Matilda Belle]

I'm scared I'll never have enough chickens.

 

[Sobek]

To be honest... I believe you always have to be strong but I'm scared of dying and losing my chickens specifically. If it weren't for them idk. You know it's crazy to think of how depressed I used to be and how much I hated my life and how I just RANDOMLY took a chicken home from our shop. I didn't even like chickens. It was more of an experimental thing I guess. Everyone wanted to know why I even brought a chicken home and I didn't even know. I can't emphasize how random it was... I fell in love with them and here I am. Happy and at peace with my quiet life. I don't go out. I don't hang out with people. I just go to work and come home, but I am happy. I'm afraid of the time they will go. I'm afraid that if I died no one would take care of them for me. That's my one request. Someone has to take care of them and give them a happy life. I don't know when my motorcycle will crash or when someone is gonna randomly shoot me. I'm just afraid of losing the very little I have. I love them so much. They've been the best companions for me and I've enjoyed raising and taking care of them
