2 weeks today - why are things so bad?

[Jacqui805]

I don't understand this.  From day one on I couldn't wait until I got to this point.  I told myself everyday just to get through each day and that by today although I thought I'd not be myself, I'd feel appreciably better.  This cannot be good to be without sleep for this long.  I'm so dehydrated too.  I'm drinking all day.  The pain is ridiculous, but the anxiety is the absolute worst!!  At this point I literally don't' think I will be better.  I should be better by now I thought!!!!  What was the past two weeks for, just to get here?  If I had a hatchet in my head, I wouldn't see the point in stretching it out two weeks.  This doesn't seem any different.  It seems that this will not get better or go away.  I just don't understand, I'm so confused.  I'm so upset, disappointed, angry.  wtf?  Yes, some symptoms are gone entirely, some are decreased.  Doesn't matter if the biggest one is here.  It's like I pulled out two knives but still have the hatchet in my head.  You know?

LMAO, go for it Ibkleen.
Really, I feel bad for her too. Lack of sleep for that long terrifies me. I'd be taking the hammer to myself.

The heck with the sandman, I am going to knock her upside the head with a hammer...then she will sleep....LMAO I feel so bad for her.

I think Jacqui went out with her Hubby. I hope so, maybe that will wear her down so she can get some sleep. Or maybe she's sleeping now. That would be good. We need to send the sandman to Jacqui.

drink lots of Gatorade! :D.. that's what I did.. when you're dehydrated, it'll make you go crazy, mentally! (As if you didn't already know that.. lol)
You're body will take some time to adjust to regular sleep patterns and other things including your mind.. I woke up again at 3am this morning, went back to bed around 6am, thanks to the graces of Hydroxyzine! lol.. (it was prescribed to the kids for their allergies) I passed right out! (I only took 2 teaspoons, too!)
Have you tried sleep aids?

Are you coughing at all or sneezing? Could you have a cold on top of detox?

Your a nurse, do you think you are actually dehydrating? If so, you need to get to a Doctor asap. That could be causing your problems here and will just keep making things worse. Even if your drinking liquids, if they just keep getting eliminated from your body... you've got a problem. How about a trip to the ER?
