I dont fall asleep until about 5am. Ruminating and dreaming of miracles. Then I sleep until well after 2pm. Eat late and then stay up all night again.

IS this normal for severe depression and suicidal tendancies?

Honestly if you sleep between 7 and 9 hours a day you don't have any sleep problems...
Except from your sleep schedule, it isn't normal to fall asleep at 5 am.

Talk to your doctor and take melatonin at 9 pm.
Maybe you have depression but you haven't insomnia.

Insomnia is when you sleep less than 6 hours in general.
I've just slept 3 hours and I've got insomnia for instance.

I have slept 4-6 hours most nights for the longest time. Sleeping 6 or more hours is a very welcome luxury for me nowadays. I usually struggle to fall asleep at night too. Seems like I only get sleepy with the daylight. If I have obligations the next day I can't sleep at all in anxiety...

Still need to try that wonderful tip of "just sleep early" that people usually give. God, I love their magic solutions for everything <3

Lol, that's exactly what they told me at the sleep center.
I've slept 3 hours a day for a year but fuck me, I just need to sleep early.

Thats me down to a T. I will be like this for a while then get an opportunisitc period when I think i am getting better. Sleep improves but it doesnt last long and I descend again. It a pain in the ass.
Luckily I aint working at moment else I would be in worse mess.

Hey well, my depression has been so bad in recent weeks. I find I sleep all day and all night. Or like today I slept all day and on and off maybe 2-3 hours at night. It varies. It's one of the surest sign your depression is getting worse. I feel it in me. Maybe you do too. The sun is blazing and I don't want to participate in life. I want to die but I can't bring myself to do it to my family. I think it must be my new antidepressants working, because before them I didn't care. Please hold on to whatever one reason keeps you alive for now. Depression is curable. We may end up taking our lives, but for now your symptoms are very treatable. Hang in there x

Oh btw I've been diagnosed with major or clinical depression. Suicidal thoughts or ideation is just part of my life now. I try not to beat myself up for it. I may well go when I get the courage, but for now hang on to that one reason for living. Change things bit by bit when you get the strength. That's what I intend to try and never feel stuck. Im shit scared to change but it won't be as scary as we think. Death doesn't answer our problems x

You still wanna die, but you can't do that to your family? It doesn't sound like your symptoms are under control. Antidepressants actually aren't extraordinarily effective... -_-

Yeh, because that's a big improvement for me. I didn't care about my family before. I was signed into a hospital for mental health. I didn't participate in anything. I came out fully expecting to die and now it's good to have the one (,well 29...that's how many sisters brothers nieces and nephews I have in my own family,) They love me. I know they do, but before my new antidepressants I bought my rope. I saved my tablets. Honestly you have to look for the small improvements. This is mine, and I feel sometimes people expect to totally change overnight. I hope next stage is I can leave my bedroom. If I do that I'll be very proud of myself. Btw I'm on a new antidepressants the psychiatrists actually are raving about. Look it up. Brintellix

And you. You sound so sad and obviously we are not here because we are happy with life. Yet you must want to give it a chance. The body sleeps because you need it. That's it in survival mode. Remember if you had MS or any other conditions would you kick yourself for resting. No. See this as the same. I'm sorry I'm not telling you to die. We try so hard sometimes to come across as normal and make it look like we haven't lost control, but in the end , does it matter....the answer is always no x

Yes, it is linked to depression. I have had periods of insomnia and hypersomina. When I had the hypersomnia my days were more bearable. Sleep is what I look forward too the most so it is awful to be unable to get it.
