Here are a few tips...
  • I have had insomnia for 12 years now and I am certain it is related to the fact that I was severely abused as a child and young adult. I have tried everything, but nothing really works. I hate being an incest survivor.
  • Going on day two with no sleep it's 12:30a now I'm soo Horney I can't stand it. I just want release I jerk off over and over but I just need more I guess.
  • i RUN ON 36 HOUR DAYS ALL OF THE TIME EVERY WEEK TWICE A WEEK AT LEAST I AM BIPOLAR AND THAT IS THE REASON MEDS DONT WORK BUT IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM AND I UNDERSTAND WHY FOR THE WOMEN I SHARE THE HOUSE WITH I SMOKE AND GO OUTSIDE 3 OR 4 TIMES A NIGHT
