Long story short: I am 31 now and my insomnia started with 18. It started out with an obsession, thinking I had to fight for sleep and it ruined my day when I wouldn’t sleep well. I thought I looked horrible and didn’t have any energy when sleeping bad.
I would feel weird about it because nobody in my surroundings had this problem and I was told to ”get a life” for obsessing so much about sleep. People acted like I was just a drama queen or actor for struggling with this.
In my 20s it got better and had times where I would sleep better, but the insomnia obsession would always return. I still had all kinds of wrong believes and behavior/ thought patterns around sleep.
And the I would sleep okay again and I thought the problem was solved until it returned.I saw something about CBTI on youtube and that made me search for CBTI/ Insomnia on spotify and found Martin Reed.
After 13 years of Insomnia a piece of sleeping advice never felt so personal, complete and fitting for me. I never felt so understood in my sleeping problems and all of your stories are so similar, it’s incredible.I would like to end with saying that the CBTI path will be the path for me and to the other people who are also still struggling: we are onto something!!!
Sorry to hear of the lack of support you faced when things were so difficult for you.
I am so glad to hear you feel you’ve now found some support and feel more understood. Although it probably felt like it, you were never alone — and you certainly are not alone today.
I wish you all the best with the new path you find yourself on 🙂
