Ventilation Post · Insomnia Coach®

I've been dealing with insomnia for approximately 1.5 years. I'm a young soul and do not want this condition to define my life. I'm seeking medical help on the sidelines and it's irritating when the normal tricks-of-the-trade do not work. I understand that this forum is not to be meddled with for medical advice, but, I will state that this insomnia saga has been prolonged by some prescription tomfoolery that led me to the point of desperation. I have a therapist and am seeking a CBT-I specialist as well. What hurts me the most is the fact that my insomnia deflates my capacity for learning and memory, which cuts the deepest since I was known for being an intellectual type of personality. It has affected my job performance as well. This is my first post in this forum. It's good to have a constructive ventilation space. Thanks for reading.
