Hi Sarah,
Sorry for the difficulties that you are going through with the insomnia, I know that it can be brutal. Like you, when mine first showed up, I was up for days with zero sleep and went through the day in a daze and unless you know what and why it’s happening, it’s hard to figure out how to fix it., I am still trying to do the things that I have found on this site or the videos, that may help. I really hope that you can find something that gives you a little relief and you get some consistent rest as it will make a world of difference.
Take careHI Gab,
I can relate to what you are talking about in regard to the fear about not sleeping, this is my first go around with Insomnia and didn’t know what to do so I had the doctor give me something just to get sleep. I tried different ones and finally landed on Trazodone, which I would not recommend but it does help with the sleep, but I still wake up at different times of the morning. I really want to try CBT-I that Martin provides but I also have some reservations about doing it while taking Trazodone because I want to know that this process ids working and not me taking something to make it work. I am still in the process of doing all the wrong things, like searching the internet to find out what is wrong with me or that magic trick to fix this and get back to normal or what I think is normal.Hi Sdzagrean,
Like you, that is why I am here. It is new to me, so I have been looking all over the internet, mine came on as well by a job change so hopefully, we will both find what we need to overcome this. There is a TON of great information on this site, just trying to understand how to apply it, just wanted to let you know that you are not alone!Take care
I have found a LOT of great information on this site, found about 7 or 8 things that I am doing wrong, the big one is thinking too much about sleep. Reading those stories about people getting over their insomnia, is very encouraging
Hi Chee,
I never really had a routine for sleep, just went to bed when I was tired and would sleep all night long. Never had to take anything and could just about sleep anywhere, then all this happened and now it’s like I can’t sleep. I worry too much about sleep and before I never even thought about it, I would just go to bed or fall asleep in a chair. Now in the evening, I clock watch, thinking that it’s almost time to go to bed, never did that before? So why I am doing it now? I had some success with taking something for sleep and then go to bed when I am tired, but it feels like a window that I can’t miss.I really don’t like taking anything to help me sleep or pills in general but not sleeping for days on end, can really take a toll on you so I had to do something but that is just masking the symptom and not addressing the problem. That is why I ended up here, trying to find something other than taking a pill and hoping it works.
