Not sleeping well
I'm 18yrs old, just graduated from high school. I noticed there was something wrong with me during my last year of high school, so I started seeing a counselor/therapist. We've been talking for a while, and after 2or3 months, he told me that I have dysthymia. I started seeing my counselor in October, and started medication in February or March. I'm still on the meds, and I am doing much better than before. The problem is, I don't think I'm sleeping well. I can't fall asleep that easily at night, and I always wake up around 6in the morning every day, but I fall asleep after that because I am so tired. When I wake up around 10 or 11 I still feel really tired. I'm not in the U.S. right now so I'm not seeing a therapist or anything so I haven't been able to discuss it with anyone really. I'm just wondering why this could be. Could it be from stress? Anxiety? I am feeling stressed lately due to some issues with people but.. I just donno. Does anyone know what I can do to really be able to rest? Thanks.

Hi Kwidal,
I think you probably have a LOT on your young mind at this moment.. You don't mention why you are out of CONUS so there is no telling about some of the stress you are going through. But just having completed High School says that you are worried about the future and that can weigh a lot on a young mind. So if you put out more info, then you may get more help in some responses. --- Ace |

Well.. I think my stress is mostly coming from my boyfriend... he's in the U.S. and he doesn't contact me at all unless I contact him. If you read my other post I think you would get the idea (you don't really have to). Maybe not doing anything during the day is the problem.. I don't do much during the day so maybe I need to excersise and stuff to tire myself out..
