Ive gained tons of weight and im at the point i pretty much spend my days in bed

Hang in there and know you are not alone.  There are many of us going through the same struggles and we must remain confident that this too shall pass.

Hi That sounds awful gc.

?

all I can say is don’t let insomnia defeat you, the more you let insomnia ruin your life the worse the insomnia  can be.

its very difficult but you have to try and do the things you would normally do even if you don’t sleep ?

I make the mistake of just lying in bed when I can as I’m so tired, but I know it is not going to help the insomnia.

Suicide is not the answer, gc22. If you are having suicidal thoughts, please call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on 1-800-273-8255.

Unfortunately, as mentioned by @Carls, staying in bed is not helpful and can actually make insomnia worse. Psychiatrists tend to focus on medication management and prescriptions — have you seen a psychologist or therapist for your insomnia? Have you tried implementing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) techniques with any of your medical providers?
