Falling asleep

[Aura]

Everytime im trying to fall asleep, or really just left alone with my own thoughts and nothing to distract me I start spiraling. I cant stand feeling this horrible anymore. The only way I can fall asleep without feeling terrible is by getting so high or drunk that I'm not thinking at all. This shit seriously blows

I have struggled with this all my life. I never wanted to go to sleep. I used to frantically text my mom at bedtime. It has recently improved though and I don't know why. One thing that helped me was mindfulness meditation where you don't try to push thoughts away or hold onto them, just let them come and go like clouds.

Oh.. Thsts my problem too.
I have a sleeping 3-4 hours by day last 7-8 months. And this hours are drobed.
Earlier i used Hydroxyzine, but it doesn't work. Then i used alcohol. Its were working, but not too long. Now im mix my hydroxyzine with alcohol and can fall asleep (if do it quickly).
But this method getting to be worse and worse the night to night.

I also don't sleep well. (Haven't ever really)

Its typically either my mind not shutting down, breathing or tinnitus keeping me awake.

4am, I probably won't sleep for another hour then get up at 8.

I'll probably read a bit then play a game on my phone till I pass out.
