I have suffered from severe insomnia for about five years now but it has been getting worse over the recent months and it’s almost unbearable to live with. I have been to the doctor numerous times and tried a variety of different sleep medications and every over the counter drug and honestly nothing has worked, or even slightly helped me at all. Many don’t believe that none of those things have worked for me, but the honestly have not. The longest I have not slept at all, not even a few minutes has been 10 1/2 days..has anyone else ever had this intense difficulty? I have tried all the normal obvious things like no caffiene,breathing excercises,completely dark room,etc. Nothing works for me, I just can seem to shut my brain off and stop worrying and thinking about things and sometimes I cry and cry and still no sleep. At times I feel like I am going insane. If anyone has ever gone through this and/or has any potentional helpful tips/solutions/ideas it would be very appreciated!
I’ve had severe insomnia for about 4 years now, and I’ve tried numerous things to help with it. For a long while my doctor had me on Ambien CR, which DID help me sleep, BUT…my body grew overly dependent on it, and it became a problem. I would try that if you haven’t already, but be careful with it. Lately, my insomnia has slowed up a bit and I’m now just taking sleep aid capsules, just the walgreens brand or whatever store brand is there (also, melatonin tablets might help you a bit), and I sleep with a small fan on. The sound REALLY helps me sleep, its the difference of night and day. Maybe go to target or walmart and get a small fan and have it on during the night. The constant noise of the airflow knocks me right out.
Either way, I feel for you, its no fun. As for the worrying thing, I’m right there with you on that too. I’ve got a major problem with that, and it’s hard to deal with. Theres nothing much I can personally do for you, but my advice would be to take it one day at a time. There is nothing you can do to change the future. Just trust that in the end, everything will be ok. Try writing. That really helps me.
If you need someone to talk to, you can e-mail me. Talkin helps lots.
Good luck!
May be due to melatonin deficiency, try to include it in your diet. From http://nosleep.in
