Okay, I have to be honest here. I was ashamed to ask about this alone, but I don't really have a choice now. I will snap if I don't get help soon.

I haven't slept for more than a few minutes at a time since the last flood. That's, what...maybe a month ago? I can't do it anymore. Makeup won't hide it anymore, I'm getting sick, and I've lost a good twenty-five pounds that baggy clothes won't serve to mask. It's been interfering with my medication and I'm having severe mood swings and outbursts. I break down when I don't have anything to do with myself. I've spent the past couple of nights huddled against a wall.

I can't sleep because I almost always dream, and if I start I'll scream myself awake again. On top of that, the nightmares just keep getting worse. I need something to knock me out cold. I don't care what it is, so long as I can get it fast.

Just the drugs. I'll deal with the rest myself. I'd be worthless as a psychologist if I couldn't.

Recuperation is impossible if I can't sleep. I need time where I'm not thinking or imagining anything. I've been doing nothing but thinking almost constantly for a month, and at that point the mind starts to auto-cannibalize itself.

You're advising me to take time off--I'll take time off. I'll talk to someone. Those things alone are not going to help me.

I never said you shouldn't take something to get some sleep, what I'm saying is that's not going to fix the problem.

They'll help a lot more than you're giving them credit for. If these 'potions' don't work come down and I'll prescribe you something.
