I can't sleep now

Can’t sleep now, I was pooped like you wouldn’t believe but now I am more awake than I have been all day.

Boy it’s amazing what the mind can do to mess that up.

Anyone else up past their bedtime and have nothing much to say but need to feel as though the world is good?

< boy I wish I still smoked KGB, I would put on some Pink Floyd instead of sad songs and veg out like the world was one big happy place >

Guess I will stick to sad songs, nothing else seems to fit my mood.

Get yer butt in the chat room Techchick !

The world IS a good place (sleep deprivation notwithstanding).

Sorry to hear about your insomnia. As a sufferer myself I can offer sympathy but little else unfortunately.

Well, maybe my theory on quantum dating and relationships… that might put you to sleep…

Sad songs? Don’t do it!!! It only makes the mind click over even more!!!

Manuals are what get me asleep fastest. I still know nothing about FORTH because I can’t make it past the chapter on stacks. But now I have some medication that knocks me out. It’s just a side effect, normally, but my doc prescribed it because it isn’t habit forming. Just takes the edge off of everything else I take. Or so he says.

So, what sort of job skills are required in the 'puter biz these days. My training goes back to MS-DOS and Novell. Almost tried for my MCSE a few months back, but nobody seems to be looking for it. Doesn’t help that my experience is in CAD and some sales.

Aye,

I would but my heart is a little heavy right now…not much for chatting, I would pretty much sit and stare.

No staring allowed!! Your spirits won’t be helped by wallowing (no matter how good it feels).

And never give into SSS (sad song syndrome).

Um… searches desperately for something to occupy tchick’s time …er… you could do another website up to follow guys and girls of SD.

And Others of SD?

dpr,

I fear I hurt a dear friend of mine tonight and sad songs is what I need to work through it. Hey it might be twisted in it’s usage but it works for me.

If I can work through it now it wont bit me in the ass later.

This world can be so damn twisted sometimes…I hope I can eventually fall asleep!

Must learn to type…anyone teach typing and proofreading…gads.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

tc

It’s not twisted at all - just shows you care and value the friendship.

But there’s a big difference between working through it and worrying yourself silly (and sleepless). I won’t even pretend to know the details but keeping yourself awake probably won’t help (though I’ve been there all too often).

Generic advice: be honest always.

Fer God’s sake, I put in Patty Loveless. You know I am bummin’ when I listen to this CD.

Oh well, I need to get this out of my system.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

I am so glad I am self employed, I can get up late.

For this, God, I am thankful.

Hey, girlfriend, I’m here for you. Having trouble facing that lonely, empty bed tonight. He’s only been gone a week, and it seems darn near forever sometimes.

Did you ever get the guys’ and gals’ sites done? Or are they still on hold for now? Just curious, don’t mean to bug you about them.

I just read the sad songs thread and am sniffling, don’t do that to yourself. What I’d give for a whole night’s sleep right about now. Sigh. I wish I had some suggestions for you, techie, really I do.

If it helps, yell at me, I’ve got broad shoulders. {{{{{{techie}}}}}}

<Thanks, dpr for your kind words in my thread. Yes, they did help.>

Thanks purplebear for your encouragement…

I ahve been up for 20 hours and counting, I don’t see this ending…DAMNIT

Oh well, life happens.

It will be better later, I am sure.

PS the SDMB people pages are temporarily on hold due to reasons I don’t think would be appropriate to discuss in the threads…eventually they will be published.

You’re welcome PB.

If I could take away pain with words I’d never shut up.

And sorry about that red cordial too… :wink:

I hope you’re not awake to read this tc but if you are drop me a line or ICQ if you need to chat.

And if yelling at pb (as if you could) doesn’t help I can always hold down my flatmate for you to hit… :wink:

Take care both of you.

BTW, just FYI, I upped my Wellbutrin today, which is known for it’s insomniac capabilities…so that could be part of it.

Oh life…and if I could type, that would be nice.

Any time, my friend, any time. Just holler at me. I do understand about why no pic sites yet. They’ll keep. Hope you get some sleep soon, sounds like you really need it too.

Thank you dpr,don’t mind me, it’s been one H*** of a week and a half, they say bad things happen in threes, well, I’m working on 5 so far, and waiting for the next shoe to drop. :frowning:

About the red cordial, :smiley: that’s ok, I don’t mind. It’s just the color clash that bothered me, I’m weird, I know. :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks for the smile just now, I really needed it. Now I feel like I can head off to bed without crying into my pillow, at least not tonight.

{{{{{{{{techie}}}}}}}
{{{{{{{dpr}}}}}}}

Say goodnight, Gracie. “Goodnight, Gracie.”

{{{{{{{{Techchick}}}}}}}}}}
Hugs hon. I’m sorry you feel down, I would have gotten back to you sooner, but I’ve been a very busy person.

You can see why by going to the pit and reading my thread “this is not even frigging funny” or by reading Demos “things that make you go hmmmm” thread here in mpsims.

sigh My fingers hurt.

I knew I should have gone to bed early tonight.

You’d think I would learn…

< tears streaming down tech’s face >

Hey, Techchick, just 'cuz you’re down, you can still listen to Floyd. Pop in “The Wall” and give “Comfortably Numb” a listen-through!

So I don’t have any KGB, but kicking back and listening to Pink Floyd has it’s odd soothing qualities to it…no matter your state of mind.

It’s not the best of PF, but The Division Bell is suitable for my needs right now…reminds me of better times when I was kicking ass financially and my world was together.

< oh how I need sleep and how I wish I would quit this weepy shit >
