I'm trying so hard not to lose my shit and start breaking things and obviously not getting sleep itself is already pretty aggravating. This person seemed like they were being empathetic at first and then they say something a long the lines of "I work hard so I can sleep at night." Basically insinuating that I don't work hard enough so I can't sleep. These are the same people who spent years ignoring my need for help for my mental health, , and basically pushing me to a point where I was never able to keep steady jobs and they have the audacity to tell me that it's my lack of work that prevent ..read more

For the past several months, I have, what seems to be, lost the ability to sleep. For a long time, I've always had issues with sleeping - falling asleep and staying asleep. There were times I wouldn't be able to sleep for an entire week, but after that length of time, I would be able to sleep. I was always a light sleeper, but I would have so many crazy, vivid dreams. I've never had a really great sleeping pattern, but at some point, I would manage to fall asleep. Although, things like taking naps had gotten more difficult for me, the older I had gotten. Several months ago, I started working ..read more

Hello friends, This is on behalf of my wife. I 28F moved to the US exactly 2 years ago from India after marrying my husband. It was a significant change for me in terms of people, culture and weather - Less people around, isolated culture and cold weather ( Massachusetts). It was all good for the first month and then fights between me and my husband started getting worse to the point I used to cry alone with no one to share. All my family and friends were in India and were unavailable due to time zone difference. I started developing sleep issues. I used to sleep at 10pm and for no reason wak ..read more

The moment I do, I either can't cause my heart starts to race or I'm waken up by some kind of adrenaline rush followed by me moaning? Sleep has been awful for me the past week or so. It feels like shallow sleep sometimes. I guess I'm still traumatized to even take a nap since I was up for 4 days once and I'm afraid of certain diseases. submitted by /u/Any-Comfort3888 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been suffering from insomnia for the past 2 years or so. I believe stress and anxiety has been contributing to my sleep disorder as I’ve been very stressed about my future for a while now - I’m relocating to another country very soon with no family or friends to tag along. When I lie down in bed as an attempt to fall asleep it will naturally take me about 2 - 4 hours to fall asleep, and once I manage to finally fall asleep I will wake up in the middle of the night 1 - 2 hours later and feel incapable of falling back asleep. A lot of the time I rely on msturbation to fall asleep quicker ..read more

We finally decided to medicate me more heavily despite the risks, because I was literally in psychosis because of lack of sleep. I was so freaking scared. First night I took the full dose. That was awful. Now I take half a dose. 0 side effects, sleep the perfect amount and have energy! I was also scared of addiction but thankfully get 0 high. I learned this is because sedatives don't cause highs with SPS. So grateful for sleep and energy. I'm so sorry to everyone still struggling. I know how hard, scary, and exhausting it is. I hope you find something that works for you as well. Edit- it is A ..read more
