Do you need a break? From what?

Hello Lovely Readers,

I haven’t done a journal prompt in a couple of months, so I’ll release one tonight. I feel like I don’t need to take a break from anything major in my life. One thing I feel I need to take a break from is my poor quality of sleep. I have vivid dreams every morning. I’ve been waking up tired almost EVERY DAY! I’ve fallen asleep at a decent time (for me), but my sleep hasn’t been good for the past 2 weeks. I’ve tried taking magnesium, and that helps me fall asleep and sometimes stay asleep, but when it comes to the vivid dreams… they’re still there. In my vivid dreams, I’m either looking for something. It could be a person, place, or thing. I am usually alone in my dreams when I’m in a chaotic situation, looking for something. My partner used to be by my side in the dreams, but lately he hasn’t been there. I’m either looking for him in my dreams or something else. Lately, I’ve been surrounded by people I don’t know.

Anyway, that’s my daily struggle, these vivid dreams. Sometimes, they feel like they’ve lasted for hours. They truly interrupt my sleep. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a while. It’s a minor problem for others, but for me, it affects my day and accomplishments. My psychiatrist prescribed a medication to help me sleep. Let’s see how that goes.

Share in the comments below what you might need a break from or something you’ve been struggling with. I’m looking forward to reading your stories, experiences, and/or thoughts.
