The past few nights I've felt so alone at night that I can't relax, get comfortable or sleep. It's terrible I don't know what to do. I tried turning on the radio and that helped for a bit. I just can't stand it.help

CS is the worst thing for you when you have sleepless nights. I know. I have been there.

I think your best bet would be some soft music and a book to relax you.

I don't drink coffee. I drink soda alot, but it usually makes me tired. It's just that all I can seem to focus on is that I'm all by myself. The few friends I have seem to alwys be too busy to go out and do anything and when we do go out they spend all of their time talking to other people. This past year since my divorce has been hell. I'm not used to being alone. I got married right out of high school, so I had never really lived alone. I don't know, I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself tonight.moping

I would suggest a dog before a cat. Dogs are much more loyal.

I know that lonely feeling. I really feel for you. Just try to get through this bad patch, things always get better. Your life could change at any moment, that special person is just around the corner. In the meantime try to get pleasure out of your hobbies and if possible try to make afew new friends (I know easier said than done)

Please cheer up cheering

was like that for a long time too, bedtime can be the loneliest time, it helped me to make a phone call before i went to bed, just to talk to somebody about something nice and maybe a laugh or two,handshake

I would love to have a pet, but my apartments won't allow them. I'm usually ok during the day because I can be out doing something. It's night that I have the problem, when there is nothing to do and I should really be asleep. I can't sleep most night except when my kids stay overnight. Then I sleep really good.

You need company and activity in the house probably. Why don't you ask a friend to come over and stay. Must admit the dog idea sounds good!! Maybe get into exercise not too strenuous just go for a walk during the day or maybe join a gym!!

Just suggestions, I know it's difficult but as my doctor said to me when I felt a bit low 'there are solutions to everything` You just have to find them

Hi nomindgames. I thought the problems in chat were just me. I thought something was wrong with my keyboard.


I have found that if I sleep on the couch I can sleep better. The problem is that I have 2 herniated discs in my back and after a night of sleeping on the couch I can barely move. That's why I bough a $2k Tempurpedic bed. I just can't seem to sleep in it lately.

do you worry a lot about your kids when you don't have them staying with you?

no I know my ex loves them and takes good care of them. Plus they live in a far better neighborhood and nicer house than I do anyway. I think I sleep better when they are here just because I know that there is someone else in the house.

i have had a dog once known a few also and i know cats also have some. dogs might be loyal but cats can be even more so. i have one who is always by my side and makes me feel better when i am down. withut him before i found my friends i would have become even more lonely then i might have been.

I have been there too. It sucks not being able to sleep. You need a diversion. Something to keep you active all day so you are more tired at night. This WOULD NOT include posting on the forums, lol.

You have to start finding things you enjoy and doing them alone until you meet someone to do them with.

Is there some place you wanted to go (nearby) but were waiting for someone to go with? Go. It might not be any fun but then again it might be a great time! The same thing could and obviously does happen when you are out with friends so what the heck...try it.

Exercise too could kill both of these birds. Join a gym? Many have temporary memberships. Have a bicycle? What a great way to see and be seen.
