Random at night
Its 2:00 am in the morning, I have to be at work in 5 hours, and I'm completely incapable of falling asleep.
No, I didn't consume a ridiculous amount of caffiene, just a couple(maybe 5) cups of green tea.
I came here to write whatever comes to mind.
my mind has a zillion thoughts, but I can't articulate any of them coherently.
words that come to mind are elections, boss, heat, summer, conscience, guilt, confusion, impulsivity, fate, fantasies, pool.
I might consider going to therapy to treat my insomnia. I've done it before (for insomnia of course), and it worked.
Why is it embarrassing to seek therapy in Kuwait? 75% of people in Manhattan have therapists, its very hip.
I'm not sure I'd like an arab/kuwaiti therapist, it will be a complete waste of my money, (not referring to the quality, but to my ability to open up)
I'm actually contemplating therapy.
I'm scared of taking baths late at night.
I have no way bring myself to sleep.

I talked to a close friend of mine about therapy in Kuwait. Some of the docs in back home are in fact nuts; a friend of mine was feeling down and under and the quack prescribed "uppers" (go figure) for her to "feel better." And plus, the hippocratic oath of silence doesn't do much; my friend's older sister went to a therapist and she was labeled as "the loon on the block" for quite some time.
I think that going to a private clinic, where you can talk to someone foriegn might do the trick.
I've had A LOT of trouble sleeping but this is what I did: Instead of laying on my bed concentrating on falling asleep, I intentionally let my thoughts drift and NOT think about anything stressful (work, school, family, etc) and rather, think about something more vague and dreamy...that's where the fantasies come in ;P
Good luck CD. Get a massage or something. That helps me :)
yes, but our therapists cost two to four dollars a pint and go by the names heineken, budweiser, and pabst blue ribbon.
Amazingly enough, I was about to post this myself...asking if anybody knows of a good therapist...I do believe I need therapy...but I said I'll wait till after vacation and see if my symptoms have improved or not..:)
pop some sleeping pills.
i've been meaning to go to a shirnk just to get my hands on xanax i've heard it does wonders!
i think i have a psych. disorder ;p
i seriously need a shrink too..
listen to us?!
u'd think someone would be clever enough to open a clinic, there seems to be alot of demand..
hmm job opportunity!
might change my major ;p
There is nothing wrong with going & seeking help from professionals. Ppl talk & thats what they always do. Fa malich shugol minhom. Do whatever is best for u :)
Btw, a lot of ppl in q8 go to therapy, but they r discreet about it.
Erzulie,
what you're saying about your friend's sis is really disturbing...
Therapy is a process that necessitates trust.
john barley,
nice to see you here :). I've been checking up on your blog and noticing your links :D
About therapy in new york, the nice thing about it is the plethora of various options: there are the $2-$4 therapeutic treatments (which you have so kindly mentioned), and there are other forms of therapy ranging from trips to the strip club or seeing actual professional therapists. But in my neck of the woods, our choices are limited and prioritized to seeking discretion over quality and personal preference.
misscosmo,
what you need is a fabulous vacation and a sizzling affair with a hot spaniard!

I am sure there are a lot of clinics around, it just requires some investigation.

sa7 ilsaanich. There is nothing wrong with seeking therapy, and I definitley don't care what others think. In fact, I think its very hip and fashionable :p
i go through lack of sleepless nights ... in and out of sleep ...
therapy would probably be a good thing ....
what i do is i completely exhaust myself during the day .. with work ... gym.... swimming ... by the time i get home... all i want is my bed ...
try it out ...

I go swimming almost everyday but late at night I still find myself tossing and turning on my pillow, tired yet alert.
u probably should swim with me.... my constant babbling might tire u out :P besides the endless laps ... :)
u probably should swim with me.... my constant babbling might tire u out :P besides the endless laps ... :)
u probably should swim with me.... my constant babbling might tire u out :P besides the endless laps ... :)
then probably you should swim with me ... if the laps dont tire you out my constant babbling might :).....
probably your mind is preoccupied with loads of stuff ... you dont know it but that might be the cause of sleepless night ....
too much caffine ... thats what everyone says .... but coffee has never stopped me from sleeping .... my metabolism ...
