I can't stop the cycle.
I cant sleep, I have not been able to get a proper night of sleep for a couple of months now. I have, however, after a few night not being able to sleep, I got to a point where I just simply pass out.
The cycle is I feel tired, so I go to bed, but as soon as I close my eyes, I start feeling anxious, my hands start shaking, and I get more and more awake, and I start hurting myself. So I have to get up in order to stop all these. Then I feel tired again, I get back to bed, then getting anxious and shaky again, then I want ot hurt myself again, then I get up... it goes on and on and on every single night. I have tried the breathing exercise my doc taught me, but it just wouldn't work.
Why is it so hard to just to get some sleep?

Look at the big picture.
Please stop hurting yourself love.
Talk to someone. Sounds like there's a bigger problem going on here. What's worrying you? what's going on with your life at the moment? Sort your life then sort your sleep.

Then I think I will never be able to sleep. I have been depressed for a couple of months now, the counselling doesnt work, the med is messing me up. Everything is going against me.

It could actually be the meds. Don't they cause sleepnessness?

I think they do sometimes, but I have been on them for more then 3 weeks now, the side effect should have gone. Also I started having this problem even before I started the meds. I dunno, I just want to sleep...

insomnia? perhaps
or just depression can cause it.
Can you try sleeping pills, though i dont recommend them.

No, I dont want to start the seeping pill, coz it's additive, and I know I would one day take the whole pack. I have tempted to take all my anti depressant at one go a few times in the past, I could just abt to control myself on that

Buddy, you need some serious help. How about a psychologist/pychiatrist?
Have you told the doc about your sleeping patterns? perhaps you could get a different kind of anti-depressant....
sleeping pills are hardly addictive, and as far as I know there is no toxic level for melatonin, its natural and it just becomes non-effective over a certain amount (ie. there is an optimum amount to take so you wont go mental)
AS A DISCLAIMER::: I'd talk to your doctor before taking these because you're already on some types of medication and sleeping pills CAN be bad for you in conjunction with certain prescription drugs.
also, do you do ANY exercise? dont take this the wrong way but I'd put £5 on you not having been to the gym regularly for a long time (if ever). join a gym, its worth your money. everyone in the country should join one.
tell your doctor whats going on as well.

Personally I think sleeping pills are just a placebo - they trick your mind into thinking they're working but most of them dont actually do anything.

Riiight... As are all sedatives? When you have surgery they actually just give you a placebo, thats why you only THINK you can't feel them stabbing you...
Sleeping pills make you drowsy, they are not placebos.

When you get scared of going out, even when around your good friends, how would I be able to go to a gym? I get all shaky when I go out, I just wanna stay under my duvet...
Every signle time when I go to my doc, I forget to tell her the most important points, and we always end up talking sth less important. I am just useless.

Aww I know how that must feel. But there is help and things DO improve.
Perhaps you could write a note and take it along to the doctors next time you go, so nothing is forgotten

I actually do this everytime, and I think she is kind of used to me handing her pieces of paper, but I just feel like this is so stupid everytime I do it, I dun think I will do it tomorro. I will just tell myself a few times tonite what I need to say, and hopefully I will remember everything.

john!!
life is all about overcoming fears. sometimes you need to say "**** it" and go for it. but you can't because of your thoughts. hence the cycle.
theres two things you can do.. stay in the cycle or break it. and its your choice really.

I have tried, I have forced myself to go out everyday, and tried do things I used to be able to do well. But time after time, dissapointment after dissapointment, I am giving up. I have had enough. I dun wanna give up, but what else can I do?
