PTSD Insomnia Triggered-Support Welcome
mujicaptsd
The stress of the Social Security check triggered my PTSD last night such that I lay in bed awake for 3 hours. At first I took 2 melatonin, then after an hour 1 more, then another after an hour, and another for a total of 5. Fortunately at least then I did get to sleep. Today I called their number 25 times and waited on hold every time without ever getting through to anyone. I'll try again tomorrow, hoping I don't get triggered into PTSD insomnia again tonight. Support welcome.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.

I hope you can get some rest soon & that it all works out eventually. Yea the sleepless nights are tough, you have my empathy for sure
Big hugs <3
sigh. . .
are we safe yet?
for what it's worth
i've been investing my insomnia on restful activities and just roughing it through the insomnia hangover the next day. by the end of that next day, i am tired enough for restorative sleep. not too many nightmares --knock wood.
Im glad that you eventually get some rest
I hope that you get some answers and satisfaction soon...xo
Some nights I sleep great, Except when I get up to use the bathroom, Then can't get back to sleep,
As for Social Security, They are hard to deal with, I had to "jump through hoops" Just to have it re-directed into a new checking account, I tried to do it myself, But they said they needed to speak the trustee (Which is my mother, Cause I still live at home)
But, I'm the Beneficiary, So, I don't understand that.
I spent all day on hold via phone. Now I just sent an email to an address they offered to those of us on hold. I can't think of anything else to do right now. If any of you can, I'm all ears. Thanks for your support. I really depend on this income.
Doing things in a timely manner, has always been a problem for me.
Thank goodness, because I'm not making good headway getting this Social Security office to rectify its error and here it is 1 week away from a new month and therefore a new month's rent.
