Insomnia Support Group
Insomnia is a symptom, rather than a disease, and is characterized by inadequate quantity or quality of sleep. People with insomnia complain of difficulty falling or staying asleep, which results in significant impairment of daytime functioning. Insomnia is categorized as transient (shorter than one week), short-term (one to three weeks) or chronic (longer than three...
I feel like Insomnia has taken over my entire life. Anybody else feel like this?
The less you think about it, the more manageable it becomes.
If I fixate on it, it always gets worse.
I have no idea how to fix it.
I don't think that I feel tired but every once in a while I feel sure that I am about to fall asleep and then the feeling is gone as fast as it appeared. I lay down and get as comfortable as I can and turn off all the lights.
I have had hallucinations during this time also but they are not scary just things that move and are gone people at the periphery of my vision that are gone when I look at them.
I heard a man's voice speaking to me in a conversational tone, I do not remember if I could understand what was being said and I do not recall what was said.
I have health issues that may or may not be at least a part of the cause of this sleeplessness, my health issues are not new at all to me and I do not recall going so long without sleeping.
I have had some insomnia before but I don't think that it has lasted this long in the past. right now I do not feel the least bit tired as far as I can tell. Occasionally, some solid objects around me have seemed to bend out of shape and then back to their normal state.
My computer keyboard is one of these objects whose shape has altered back and forth some labels on clothing have moved right before my eyes..
I am not scared, it is even a bit interesting I suppose.
I need to drive a little bit this morning to complete a very important errand and I am a little concerned about my ability to drive. If, when the time comes for me to drive, I feel as if I can not safely operate the vehicle I will need to alter my plans, of course.
It is amusing that as I try to type this out the keyboard is changing and the letters themselves are changing their position. The words that I am writing seem to be quickly flashing different colors . the letter keys seem to be growing green moss on them but my sense of touch discounts what my eyes are telling me about the keyboard, the keyboard is straight and clean. I just heard what sounded like a gunshot inside of my head and it startled me.
It is becoming more difficult to type without errors, so I am going to stop and I just saw a large black bug crawling around my keyboard that was not there and now I am hearing jack hammer somewhere and I can tell that the sound is imagined and only I am hearing it. I am going to stop writing on my green mossy keyboard now.
