hello everyone, i have insomnia
and i am someone who never had insomnia in my life before, never ever until last year when i was almost 31
i am naturaly born as a heavy sleeper.up until the insomnia started i would doze off right away within 2 minutes even with my shoes on, with the light on, music on etc. i could fall asleep in a moving car , no problem at all, sleep through a few alarm clock rings, music in the room people in the room talking
and i would wake up after 8-10 hours refreshed. i was someone who needed about 10 hours of sleep a night, even if i went to bed at 6am i would not get up until 3pm
what hapened is i got a stalker who became obsessed over me and about a year ago they started to injure me severely, internal central nervous system injuries and traumatic brain injuries wich started the sleep trouble. after the head injury i could not doze off for 4 days. before this the most i ever stayed up was 2 nights in a row on purpose but id plop down with heavy eyes exausted and doze off right away for 8-10 hours
i keep getting injured by this stalker. they have been harming me in my own home whenever they want, burning me on my skin, causing me brain injuries.i dont know how to protect myself but last summer after one of the injuries i was attacked for a few weeks i could not sleep anymore. i was up for weeks in a row not able to doze off or feel tired anymore
i have a hard time explaining the injuries and violence because it is some loon who is in the military and stole some of those weapons and they are injuring me seriousely without me being able to say what weapon. some type of technology they use that can kill people and internally injure them without a metal bullet to find.
my doctors know i have serious injuries and documented burns, but they dont know how such serious injuries happened, they see those type of injuries in car accident victims,. i almost died after the first head injury because it caused life threatening complications and im still afraid to explain how i think the injuries happened, i was told by the stalker how they hurt me.ive been electricuted and burned and it feels like im being stabbed by a knife i can not see sometimes.and there is medical evidence
the pain is so bad i can barely move for weeks in a row and that is when the insomnia gets worse. but my sleep has not returned to normal since last summer. i have not had one night of normal sleep
i have reccurent injuries and that is just adding more injuries and worsening the damage my stalker did in the first place.i have spent the past 2 months with severe back pain and headaches and the sleep issue got worse after the back pain started
after i felt i was being hit by something, sharp stabbing pain in my back and head
i have not had an easy life, ive been through more tramatic things and even was depressed years ago and it NEVER caused me sleep trouble, emotions dont stop me from sleeping. so i know it is not from stress or anxiety about the current crazy situation
i know myself and know it is not it. i have fallen asleep a minute after a heated fight with abusive family members with tears on my face and still fell asleep
even when loved ones have passed away, i still had no trouble sleeping that night even when spending the whole day crying
so i know i cant sleep because im not physicaly able to due to the severe internal damage i have from being injured/abused
some kind of connection trouble or imbalance due to the injury.the tests showed serious damage to a few parts of my brain,torn axons,inflamation etc and irregular electric activity
and i also have tests of my back and that shows damage to my spine area from whatever was hitting me, i was electericuted and have long term burns
i dont like to explain my situation of how my injuries happened because i dont like to not be believed, after all i have been through. it is easier for me to just tell people i fell somewhere and hit my head but i did not.
i just know what i experienced, the evidence i have and what i was told by stalkers and threat details they made.
i do not feel tired anymore, no matter what,.even after exerting myself, taking melatonin, exercize, tea etc. i dont feel tired like i did a year ago
and i have weird tremors, like my head shakes from side to side when i look close in the miror. it is odd and that started after i was being injured when i had the severe back pain and spine area damage it just started the day i stopped feeling tired and didnt sleep anymore
i have tried sleeping pills, they dont help. i miss feeling tired like how i used to feel before the injuries, my eyes got heavy and the feeling before you go to sleep where you are drowsy, that dosnt happen to me anymore. i have to remind myself that it is night time and i have to force myself to go to bed and try to sleep
i feel jittery and have weird tremors since the injury. even when i do manage to black out in bed for a few hours i wake up and do not fee refreshed, my muscles are painful and stiff muscles and i feel as if i did not sleep. and i dont have much energy in the day and have trouble concentrating because i cant sleep
having insomnia like this is very weird for me it is not me, because i am someone who was born as a heavy sleeper, i slept like a log, like a cat basically, i could sleep up to 12 hours on weekends. and i never used to be able to function with less than 6 hours of sleep
now in the last year i take whatever form of "sleep" i can get. i dont even sleep anymore i call it blacking out., i just black out but i feel like im not actually sleeping
i took a seep study and it showed i had reduced rem sleep.some issue with the sleep pattern
i feel as if my mind has to work harder to sleep, i have to exert my mind to physically sleep, so it is like i have more energy on days that i dont sleep at all
i have not had one night of normal well rested sleep since before the injury last yr when the tremor started. like my mind has to adapt to the injury and get some form of sleep
the sleep center i went to dosnt understand me, i have been getting injureis and not sleeping at all for 2-3 weeks or more in a row after
so they think i have bipolar disorder because they dont know why im not sleeping, i know i dont have bipolar disorder
i dont even have the symptoms of bipolar, i just lie down and cant sleep and dont feel refreshed
i dont feel like myself physically
so now they want me to go to see a psychiatrist to rule out bipolar even tho i knwo i dont have bipolar. they said i cant go back to them unless i rule that out
maybe i should find a different sleep center who would understand me better
but i dont even want to explain to them how ive been getting the injuries in the last year. those people continue to hurt me and stalk me, contact me
i tried going to police but police do not take me seriousely because i have bad social skills and talk low
but im in danger and keep getting injured and these injuries cause me insomnia that is severe
i know im not crazy but am being harmed by bad people who said they want to harm me. i dont know how to be ok and i think my life is in danger if the people keep harming me. i dont know if causing me severe insomnia is the worst thing they will do to me
even tho for me insomnia is really bad. it is not me and really strange
i tried tea and other herbal things, melatonin, over the counter sleep medicine
my sleep is not normal and got worse
i know theres people who are naturally born as bad sleepers or they can get by with 5 hours of sleep fine but im not wired that way im not one of those people, im someone who has always needed more sleep than other people since i was a little kid, i would always oversleep and miss the bus for school. i purposely took later afternoon classes so i could sleep late in the day in college.
but since the insomnia started i am lucky if i get 3 hours of "Sleep" blacking out that resembles sleep.
my situation is more rare,but i have read people have been through similar things

but since the insomnia started i am lucky if i get 3 hours of "Sleep" blacking out that resembles sleep.
my situation is more rare,but i have read people have been through similar things
it is really weird for me to deal with insombia because this is something i never dealt with in my life ever before the injury. the most insomnia i had ever before that was not sleeping for one or two nights or not being able to sleep the first night at a hotel in a new enviroment. but now i am up and awake for weeks in a row with zero sleep. so unusual
and that can make people crazy, i have weird phobias since the sleep issue got worse, i feel suddenly lonely and scared . and you cant think straight if you dont get normal sleep. i really do not know if i slept at all in the last 2 months. i have no idea
Nothing should be stopping the police from helping you.....
it seems for me , that not sleeping itself will kill me, that by itself makes me feel like i will die on those days that i do not sleep at all , i feel weak like ill faint. i tried running away to somwhere someones apartment i know and i could not sleep there at all. not doze off even with sleeping pills
there are people who die from staying up days in a row there are even peope who died from insomnia, fatal insomnia. even tho it is rare
me not sleeping makes me feel like it is life threatening like i will die from that or fall over and get a stroke
it is really scary but yes the abuse and stalking and reason i cant sleep such as being injured by some unknows weapon or miitary thing and the death threats, the police should deal with that
i have a disability, i have encepalitis for a few years because of an untreatabe systemic infection i have so i lost all of my in person socia skills, it is hard for me to talk verbally to people. the police said they couldnt hear my voice because i didnt speak up, i also look strange so they didnt take me seriousely
then the police said they coudnt help me because i had no id with my name on it to prove who i am
i dont know what to do.i tried to get myself on a waiting list for a domestic violence shelter and they said they have no place for me because i couldnt walk up a few flights of steps
i should go aaway from here and hide from my abuser and get safe, but i hope i can sleep at all wherever i go. i have a feeling i will have to dope myself up on heavy sleeping pills if i want to try to sleep in an unfamiliar place. but i guess that is better than my psychopathic abusers killing me or injuring me more, i just feel like i have nowhere to go
and because i have lack of social skills when i try to talk to police they tell me they cant do anything and they make excuses or say they dont believe me because im alone there and have no one to talk for me
i wish i can go hide somewhere for a few months with a fake name so they cant find me
who do i contact? i think i will tell the psychiatrist what is going on but if they dont believe me im scared ill be in a mental hospital
because my social skills trouble makes people misunderstand me
ya but if i stay around whoever is stalking me will kill me if that is what they said they want to do
i shouldnt worry as much about the sleep trouble.
