Insomnia sucks

Whe tired, most people look forward to the end of the day. They long to crawl into a nice, comfy bed and go to sleep. I used to feel that way, but for some reason, over the past few years, insomnia has taken over my life. 

I've tried every natural remedy I can think of from tart cherry juice to melatonin and all things in between, but nothing has worked. So I've resorted to asking for help from my doctors. 

The primary care physician wanted me to be on benzos but I said no thanks! The pulmonologist wants me to be on an antidepressant which is also used off label for chronic insomnia. I agreed to try it. So far, day one was a bust. No sleep for me! Hopefully tonight will be better. 

Dealing with things we can't control is hard. Our bodies do things that confound and amaze us. They're quite remarkable. And that's why I'm hoping this situation will come to an end soon and things will start working like they used to. It's no fun being broken.
