Yes, I know. When I was going through it I thought I was not going to make it.
I literally stopped living.
Couldn’t go to work, couldn’t look after my children or
Myself, was a waste and I never had this kind of problems before.
It lasted about 3 months but after 2 weeks the sleep gradually started to get better.
If I could give you an advice I would say talk to someone who is kind to you and be kind to yourself.
Talking to my husband about how miserable I was feeling helped me to feel a bit better.
I wish I would have known about this forum 2 years ago!
Insomnia can be very lonely and I promise you It will get better although now it seems it won’t.

Do not think much about not getting enough sleep (specially if you do not have commitments in the morning) just let it go and think how lucky you are you have no underlying conditions.
Martin’s course is probably well worth it. Haven’t enrolled myself yet but I can see it will give you skills forever.
All the best

Hi!
I had a an acute insomnia episode 2 years ago. I was probably 9 nights in a row with no sleep
Worst time of my life, horrendous. I wanted to kill my self and I felt hopeless and miserable.
Always been a healthy person I have got 2 young children
My gp put me on antidepressants and I was so desperate that I accepted them and took them for about a year.
At the time of the insomnia I found out my iron levels were depleted and funnily I am struggle again with my sleep and iron levels are low again.

After treatment my anaemia improved but I was so so traumatised by the fact I couldn’t sleep that I enrolled CBT and it did helped a lot.
I do feel for you and I was panicking already because last week I couldn’t fall asleep for few nights but somehow I found Martin and he has helped me a lot so far!
Just hang on in there!
Eventually,we will all sleep
Bw
