I feel totally shattered this morning although I am slowly coming out of it. My brain was working hard on a computer, I think software, issue last night so I think I got very tired, and didn't solve it either.

Computers can be so frustrating. Sometimes I just want to smash them with a hammer.
Funnily, as I had a busy day yesterday, I am quite awake today. Normally the busy Wednesday tires me out. I took it in a relaxed manner yesterday though.
When I woke very early this morning and went to the bathroom I felt totally drained. I went back to bed though and when I woke at my usual time I was far better
Actually not good. Ive been feeling off for a few days almost tearful. Social interactions have been troubling possibly overwhelming. Sort of the banging your head against a brick wall feeling. Maybe its just the hot weather but I feel like shutting myself away..

My head needs peace.
You have enough strength of character to get through this. Just look after yourself and maybe be a little self indulgent.

Time to unwind. Do something different. Little steps to relax. You will come back as your usual self

Agreed.
Recently I have felt anti-social: it's nothing I can put my finger on, just a need to be alone. And we are told we aren't valuable unless we're surrounded by people and always jolly and happy. That is all a fake image: NO ONE in the real world is that sociable all the time. It is rare to find a person who never suffers or gets stressed out.
Basically, you've got a right to your "ME TIME". It may be a cliche but it is true: your time is yours and if sometimes you need to be alone, that is OK, too.
honestly don't know what to do. i can't get any sleep with my cpap machine at all. i don't see how this is supposed to help me if i'm unable to rest at all. the new mask isn't helping. i've tried sleep aids, decaf, tv. nothing is working.

Mary, I wish I could help you but I am sorry I have no idea what else can be done. You pretty much covered what I would of tried. Maybe some kind of sleep expert could help.

Have you tried magnesium at bedtime? I do that and passion flower these days (my SO also gets help from this combo)... some people take theanine at night for sleep, too, but I take that during the day to help with stress. Not sure if any of this would overcome the mask being such a bother, though, but you never know I guess if it could make you very sleepy to the point where you don't care about anything else but sleep lol although, most supplements don't hit as strong once you are used to them, but can still help with relaxation to a degree.
I know melatonin is a popular one, but it gives me nightmares, so I don't go around recommending it, but you could try it if you haven't

i can't take a bunch of supplements with my meds. i've tried melatonin, sleepytime tea, otc sleep aids, a tea for stress and i've tried watching tv, listening to sleepy music...nothing. between my anxiety and my tourette's and the machine and mask i may have to get the butter knife out and end it all.
