Yesterday I only slept for 2.5 hours and was up the whole day I finally fell asleep but I only stayed asleep for about 35 minutes and now I woke up again and can’t fall back asleep. I feel like I’m going manic as well
Is this at all due to substance abuse? Or is it only because of your mental state? Try to get off screens including tv 30 mins to an hour before bed n switch to a book/journal/coloring book and hydrate yourself. A warm half glass of milk also helps me
@the_misfit1313 Only mental state I’m not on any substances
@notrich Except prescribed meds
I’m sorry you are having trouble sleeping. It happened to me about 2 years ago. It lasted over 1 week. I totally understand the anguish. I was being put on new meds and even went to the E.R. for help, but all they said after my 2 hr wait was “ Read a boring book and drink tea.” Also got, “take a hot bath”. It was beyond that. It made me feel like I was going mad. I cried, I rocked myself in bed, on the couch and even on a mat on the floor. No place made me tired or feel comfortable. My eyes were closed, but my eyes were darting back and forth as I thought of all kinds of things. Finally, my psychiatrist put me in Trazadone for about 2 months. She also added benedryl. Slowly we lowered and I got off them. My other meds took over ( Remeron -antidepressant) and (Lamictal-mood stabilizer) . I sleep fine now. Side note: Most people go through at least one bout of insomnia in their lifetime. This too shall pass. Find the culprit. No caffeine, sugar, too warm of room temp, phone, tv. ~ Try earplugs and/or eyeshades. I wish you good sleep soon my friend. It isn’t forever though. Just remind yourself if that. It’s true.
It also feels like I’m out of my body. Like my body is in my room but I also feel like it’s not I can’t explain.
@notrich Hey! How is it going now?
I feel like I wanna throw up I feel shivers It feels like you’re going to be sick I can’t sleep at all I stayed up all night because of this (not the first time) I physically feel sick
Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️
I have been having horrible anxiety and can’t sleep or rest. Do any have suggestions for getting rest while dealing with this.
