I just feel so hopeless. I dun wanna rely on sleeping pills but I can’t fall asleep easily and if I do.. I can’t sleep asleep for more than 2 hrs. I’m scared.. It’s affecting my social and working life.
I feel the same way. My life is slipping away and I just don’t how to get out of it.
I can’t see a way out but I need to. Just need to be positive and have faith that you will come off it.
Do you mean you can’t sleep for more than two hours without waking up, or you can’t sleep more than two hours total in one night?
I have difficulty falling asleep.
And if I do fall asleep, I would wake up every 2hrs.
Currently, I am on trazodone 50mg per night. But I am worried of reliance and the side effects of the meds.
I’m avoiding pills altogether. I tried an amino acid but it failed. I wake every 2 hrs two too and I can generally total up to 6-7 hrs per night, and this is without meds. SSRIs stop the Serotonin from going back into its receptor but eventually the serotonin is metabolised, so you may need to up the dose over time. If you really needs meds then fine but I think they just mask the solution. Otherwise if you can manage around 6 hrs even if it’s broken up sleep, it’s still better than meds.
Have you given any of the techniques used in CBT-I a try, Ting?
