The Bert Show.

I got to tell you, in one way I'm glad that our vice week is over, giving up our vices for the week is over. And in another way, it just doesn't matter because I'm not planning on going back on this lunesta. Good job, man. But I can also say it's got progressively worse during the week, which is weird. Oh, really? Yeah, and I think it's my anxiety level. Like, I was really prepared for it on Monday, and I slept okay. I got five, six hours of sleep, same on Tuesday.

Mm-hmm. and I think it's my anxiety level. Like, I was really prepared for it on Monday, and I slept okay. I got five, six hours of sleep, same on Tuesday. And since I haven't been taking those lunesta pills, it has been worse and worse the rest of the week. Like, I hardly slept at all last night, got to bed, I guess, about 10.30. It was a real light sleep. And right now it's sort of a game of psychology for me i got a

couple of emails about this and if you're if you're not sleeping well rather than me read the

email because it'll be too long i i put the email from this virtual listener up on my blog that

sort of spoke to me the last couple of days when you have these sleep disorder a lot of it is just in your head it's the fear that you have that you're not going to sleep that is actually keeping you up okay it's almost like a mini panic attack almost and you have to sort of start calming yourself down like it's okay not to get seven hours of sleep it's okay if you get

six hours of sleep and you're going to be fine if you just get five hours of sleep tonight and

I feel myself fighting that anxiety I didn't in the beginning of the week but towards the end of

the week I have and I haven't been fighting it as well so the last couple of days been really tough

for me but I'm not planning on going back.

In fact, Melissa, I'm going to ask you to keep the lunestra through the weekend.

Okay. Because Melissa, I came in here with my first. You're going to the cat show and you want to be really rested for the cat show. Well, I'll sleep right through that. If anything can give me sleep, it would be going to a cat show. It's the international cat show. So I'm going to ask you to hold on to those prescriptions.

And if I start to get sick maybe at the end of next week because I'm not getting enough sleep, maybe I'll figure out something else. But I don't want them this weekend because if they're in my house, I know I'll take them. I'm like the resident pharmacist right now because I've got Bert's pills in my filing cabinet. And I've also got Wendy's, you know, diet pills in my

filing cabinet. So yeah, I can make a little money going on on the side here. Wendy gave up

her diet pills for her vice week. It's not been going so great. It's been kind of a rough week.

I don't know if it's coming off the diet. I'm sure that's what it is, but I haven't been sick for two and a half years since I've been on diet pills. And it hasn't been, like, I've taken diet pills starting two and a half years ago, but I've like every, like, I'll get off of them for two and a half weeks to go to a different diet pill. So there's been sometimes where I'm not on it, but pretty consistently, I've been taking diet pills pretty much every day. So this week, I've battled being sick. Like, I haven't been sick in forever. My glands have been swollen. I've night-swetted. Like, you know, when you get those night sweats and you're sleep and you wake up, you're burning up, and you're sweating. I've had that this week. And last night, I just had a

breakdown. I'm like, I'm like, looking for my pills. Like, I need to have a pill because I'm, I'm, like, in need of them because it gives me so much energy. It just makes me feel a whole lot better about myself. I don't know what it is, but it makes me feel a whole lot better about myself. And I guess I get down on myself, like, hardcore sometimes.

And I'm like, I need this pill to make me feel better.

I was begging my friend to find anyone because I don't have about myself and I guess I get down on myself like hard hardcore sometimes and I'm like I need

this pill to make me feel better I was begging my friend to find me one because I don't have

him in my house so you're almost using this pill like an antidepressant almost yeah well to me like

it makes me feel better because I mean I think it makes me it'll make me thinner and it increases
