I’m in somewhat similar place. My sleep struggles (full blown, have had light versions of it throughout my life) also started last September. Since then, there has been periods of both good and bad. I’ve also consumed Martin’s and other coaches’ content, and it has helped, but nevertheless I still seem to have 1-3 nights (lately it feels like they’re on the increase!) per week when the struggle reappears from often what feels like nowhere. I also often reach out to some supplement / aid, and I honestly feel like it doesn’t even matter what the content of the pill is, just the *act* of taking something seems to calm my hyperarousal down. Today I just feel incredibly defeated because part of me thinks my brain should have had already got the memo and of course then there’s the part of me that thinks what if it’s something other than hyperarousal.. also thinking about the paid course because I believe I could use more support to really let the approach of leaving the struggle to sink and cement itself in!
This story makes me so happy and hopeful to read. You mentioned taking anti anxiety medication. Are you still on that medication or did you manage to taper it off successfully? I beat myself up constantly for having to rely on medication, but I also try to remind myself to be kind towards myself, see that this is a long process, and remain hopeful that one day I can be completely medication-free again.
