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...
There's got to be something wrong with me. I can't sleep and I'm not stressed! I get stressed when I don't sleep, it's the causer! I wouldn't give a damn about the not sleeping well if I didn't feel terrible! Yesterday I had meltdowns. 2 Days ago I slept good but felt more tired than usual, and yesterday I slept my full 8 hours I designated to sleep for the first time in a while bu it was extremely light and I felt even more tired than 2 days ago, and today was an ABMISSAL night. Somehow I was able to be happy and positive for the whole week prior to yesterday but it's indescribable but I just felt me snap mentally. I felt so tired and exhausted and had no control what soever. I felt like I was going mentally insane. I CAN'T function of little to no or horrible sleep for the time length that i've had trouble. I'm to the point where I'm not safe to drive even. I can drive straight okay but anything like a round about, or large turn I can't judge when/how hard to turn the wheel I hate da
I was extremely irritable and would get more irritated, frustrated, etc with little inconveniences that you can normally control. I can't take my feelings anymore. Everyday I push trying as hard as I can in everything I do, including working out. I feel like I'm suffering and punishing my body. l already see foresee the future: I'll pass all my classes getting good grades despite the poor sleep but I won't have accomplished anything else because my little energy I have will have to be used for school.
I'm going to get fat and out shape;do nothing with friends/family; or anything. . I'm thinking about stopping exercising and doing things I do because i'm tired of putting my body through what I do for the sleep I get. I'm think stopping doing anything besides eating, doing homework, and going to school and when I'm not doing that, I'll be lying in bed resting or sleeping. I think very soon it's time for me to become fish food to the fishes that I fish for. I turn 20 on March 8 and maybe on that day will be the perfect day to just end my life. I don't know if god exists but I'll either go to heaven and be with the fish or I'll be asleep with no recollection forever;either of these possibilities sounds better than what I go through. These still seem kind of silly for me when I read them but they're starting to sound like not to unreasonable of things.
I purchased the book no more sleepless nights, I've researched religiously for information about sleeping, I've listened to you guys, I've got to CBT. I've tried everything I've researched or read and I can't figure it out. I'll give it a shot but I think this is my final attempt at fixing my insomnia. If not then March 8 is the day by body is going to become fish food. Honestly I'll feel bad for my friends and family that care for me and it cause grievance for them on the day We'd celebrate my birthday but I'll be happier gone unless things improve.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
Something that has been the most beneficial (and I have tried EVERYTHING) is sleep restriction therapy. I joined Sleepio Dec 7th, 2013. It has changed my life. I am still struggling with sleep, I am told it can be a long process. But for the first time in over a year I have been able to sleep in my bed, sleep solid blocks, and actually see an improvement.
Sleepio has wonderful community support to guide and encourage you along the way. It is under $90 for the course. Like I said, I have tried every supplement, pharmaceutical, labwork, you name it and this is the ONLY thing that has been promising. Please look into it.
I understand your situation. I was in your position and went to the emergency room and got Valium. Now I'm on the road to recovery.
Steps
1. Quit Job because work performance was affected by tiredness and caused huge anxiety.
2. Got off drugs like Ambien, Mirtazapine etc. which were addictive
3. Went swimming when I had a bad night and could do much. Swimming gave lots of Energy.
4. To get sleep, started jogging in the night as this induces sleep. Also consider getting an 'earthing sheet' from www.earthing.com.
The steps below are more dramatic in their results
5. Pranic healing - This is an eastern technique of allowing energy
to heal the body.
6. Sudarshan Kriya Breathing - Also an Indian technique of breathing at a rhythm that helps in opening up energy channels in the body.
7. Meditation - Things are not going to happen instantly. You have to remember it will be Step by Step and failure is only feedack.
You will get better, trust me.
Message me if you want to know in depth details.
Good luck
