Venting Sleepless nights

[VisionsOfHell]

Does anyone else have to deal with this?

These last few nights have been horrible, feeling like I'm neither asleep nor awake, trapped between the two worlds. When I do fall asleep it is only shallow and I often wake up from it.
Never in my life have I felt this alone before, like I'm the only person on this godforsaken planet.

I always used look forward to being able to sleep, catch a break from this reality and now this shit...maybe its just my body telling me that I should end it as soon as possible.

Sorry OP
Yes I slept every other day when I stopped antidepressants
I tried to cope with it with painkillers for my head, I haven't found anything else.

Yeah. This shit is giving me a horrible headache aswell. I hate taking meds but maybe I'll try painkillers

I've been going through this for months, I can't sleep nor find the energy to function. I might consider sleeping pills, just worried about addiction.

Same here mate the past couple of weeks really bad nights tossing and turning. I wish I could just et a good 3-5days of sleep other than getting up to pee n small cup water small snack etc.
One thing I've not tried for recovery that I've access too... Simply can't because I can't brains been too fucked by society to let me just standby for a few days. So it's 100mph of bullshit life until I drive into the wall. When I'm so curious how I'd feel if I got the opportunity to feel rested.
Sorry I'm rambling on. Yes I consider 7hours good but atm getting 4-5 of like you say half sleep but my problem is constant dreaming.
Hope you ease pal.

I'd rather die a hundred times in my next dream than go through this for another night. Couldnt sentence a mass murderer to this for more than a few months I think.
Sorry you all have to go through this aswell.

I go to bed very late at night because my mind is restlessly traumatized, until I literally fall asleep. Then wake up in the afternoon, and the day is halved, which is not that bad. But not good health wise.

Yep, and when I finally do get some horribly restless sleep, I wake up in a panic and my skin crawling.

I've never had what feels like a proper nights sleep coming up for 1 year. Combination of meds for my depression has led to me having nightmares or vivid dreams pretty much every night. I wake up soaked in sweat, heart pounding and anxiety through the roof. Benzodiazepines give some relief but I only end up feeling groggy the next day from them. A friend recommended me to try vaping with cbd liquid, I really can't say there's been any profound difference since using it but I will keep on trying it. Just about to try a new mood stabiliser medication so fingers crossed that it may bring some much needed relief.
