For a while now I have been having difficulties with my sleep. At first I was sleeping too much due to the depression. Then once I was stable on medications for that, the insomnia kicked in. Now I was put on another pill for sleep. I have change pill after pill to find one that works for me. I am currently on two different sleeping pills and yet writing this at 2 AM. I get asked the question, "do you wake up because it is your bladder pain or do you wake up because of anxiety". I wake up because I have to pee and then I am stressed .... the anxiety sky rockets and then there is another night of tossing and turning trying to find a comfortable position for my bladder and trying to ignore the thousand thoughts in my head. If my sleep doesn't get under control, my doctor suggests a sleep study. I'm not sure what it might find, but I am up for anything. Why can't we sleep with IC? Why does the worries constantly have to plague us? Life is hard enough, but when you are running on Empty it seems impossible.
