Llevo 5 días sin dormir, entre en ansiedad por no hacerlo, le temi a que llegue la noche, empecé a tomar un medicamento que me ayudó pero conjuntamente estoy trabajando en el tema psicológico, haciendo ejercicio y higiene del sueño, no sé cómo me tengo mucho miedo de depender de la pastilla para dormir , quiero poder dejarla y dormir como antes, esper mucho que estos correos me ayuden a salir de este infierno

I’ve translated your post, courtesy of Google Translate, below. Moving forward, I would suggest posting in English if possible, since that is the language used in this forum:

I want to heal

I haven’t slept for 5 days, I became anxious for not doing it, I was afraid that night would come, I started taking a medication that helped me but I am working on the psychological issue together, exercising and sleeping, I don’t know how I feel I am very afraid of depending on the sleeping pill, I want to be able to leave it and sleep like before, I really hope that these emails will help me get out of this hell

Welcome to the forum. It sounds as though the medication is something you don’t feel comfortable with — have you shared that with your doctor?

The good news is that the human body doesn’t require medication to generate sleep. What it needs is for us to not be involved in the process of sleep! The more we try to make it happen, the more difficult it becomes. And, when it becomes difficult, we also experience a lot of difficult thoughts and feelings — and, because they don’t feel good, we try to fight or avoid them. Then, before we know it, we are trapped in a vicious cycle and get stuck.

So what you are experiencing is not unique or unusual. Difficult, for sure. But not unique or unusual.

I hope you find the free sleep training emails helpful — and if you have any questions, feel free to post them here!
