That's the worst. Is there any way you can get some sort of prescription to help?

I dunno what to do other than sit here I just don't feel ok at all.

I already took it earlier and didn't really sleep so :(

hey. me too, me too. i'm so tired too. i bet you are as well. hope you get a nice fulfilling rest soon. i suggest melatonin, if you haven't already. i tend to take two at a time and it works for me usually.

Ugh... Insomnia is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I'm sorry you have to live with that.

 

[Livingvsdying25]

Lonely and too awake.. it's 2am tho.. I guess I'll try again with the meds :(

I dunno who or where to reach out to these days...

Be careful not to take too much melatonin - it can be bad for you in high doses. I would never take more than 5mg at a time. Some people go up to 10 (I think that's too much), but any more than 10 is definitely bad

It is awful, sorry. I have had chronic insomnia for over 10 years, averaging 2-3 hours of sleep a night, often 0. The more you worry and anticipate during the day, the harder it is to sleep at night and you get yourself into a horrific cycle. Speak to your GP, although in my experience there is little that can be done about insomnia. I am sure you have heard it all before anyway so won't offer advice. good luck

thanks for the warning, i tend to be going alright with the two. :)

Have you picked a ctb method yet?

Me too I wish i could sleep until i had the courage

Sorry to hear that, I have insomnia, went to a psychiatrist and got a prescription for Quetiapine and it's been pretty well! Consider talking to a psychiatrist for a prescription. Because when I was just laying in my bed I had horrible intrusive thoughts and just start crying until I cried myself to sleep and I think going to sleep quicker has helped me for sure

 

[Livingvsdying25]

Can't sleep. My sleep has been so so bad these last few months I'm trying but... ffs...:

Which meds have you tried yet ?

 

[MyChoiceToLeave]

I understand. Insomnia is really the main reason I want to die also. Doctors gave me too many different psych meds and I'm at the point where only Klonopin works for sleep. I need my dose increased, but they won't increase it for safety reasons, yet they'll offer antipsychotics which no longer work on me. I'm diagnosed as bipolar and I'm pretty sure it was caused (not brought out) by the careless prescribing of antidepressants in my teenage years. Can you relate to that?
