Story Week of an insomniac

[Amumu]

Day 1 : Midnight to 3 am. I feel terrible. I imagine shooting myself and I see my dead body.
I take antihistamine and then I sleep from 4 am to 7 am. Then I feel slightly depressed.
Day 2 : I take sleeping pills. I sleep from midnight to 6 am. Then I feel ok.
Day 3 : I sleep from midnight to 3 am. I feel terrible and my head hurts.
I take painkillers. I'm still depressed but my head doesn't hurt anymore.

Rinse and Repeat for days 4, 5, 6, 7

Good night

Living with insomnia is a fun thing, isn't it? Hugs to you

Bad insomnia here too
I wake up multiple times a night, and always get really bad nightmares/anxiety dreams - so I don't even really like sleep when I'm able to get it. Very envious when others talk about sleep being an escape for them!

Although smoking weed does help dull my dreams/stop me dreaming as much, and also helps me get to sleep easier:)

I remember when I was a teenager sometimes I could sleep 9 hours... I was depressed but not completely tired at least.
I can't smoke due to health problems but maybe I'll try oil or edibles (not sure for the latter) someday.

I have had insomnia most of my life and it renders me completely dysfunctional. I know that rinse and repeat feeling very well. I am sorry y'all know what it is like.

I think edibles would work wonders for you:)
If you're from the UK, I can pm you a vendor if you want?

I'm not from the UK but why not
I've never seen edibles in continental Europe tbh

Could you PM me the same?

I've struggled with this all my life but it's especially bad now cos I've run out of my meds so I'm cold turkey off SSRI's til payday. Lucky if I get 2 or 3 hours and my bed is soaked in cold sweat after a vivid nightmare if I do get those few hours
