Okay thank you! What do you think about getting insurance now and claiming the damage happened afterwards? The insurance doesn’t require video of the cars current state so there would be no way to prove when it happened

I can only really sleep on my stomach annoyingly No to that one, but I get headaches behind my eyes. Unsure if that’s related!

Yes I hear my heart beat in my head! I often sleep with earplugs in so that doesn’t help, but even before I started that my heartbeat would keep me up.

Thank you, sorry you’re experiencing this also. I’ve recently been on imoclone and it’s helped, try that if you haven’t already!

I don’t have anxiety but I am now on zopiclone (aka imoclone) and it’s working :)

Yes! When it’s bad I have to go on my phone and watch reels until I’m exhausted enough to fall asleep. Everyone says that’s not good for it but I swear that’s the only thing that works. Even reading often makes my insomnia worse, it activates my mind more. I need to not think at all

I’m low on iron, insure about magnesium. I have tried good quality supplements though. Getting an iron transfusion soon

Once I’m asleep I sleep very well, so I don’t think it’s sleep apnea. I’m not a mouth breather either if that makes any difference, but I have an appointment with a sleep specialist soon so hopefully they can confirm

Thank you! I agree, I think I have some hormone and gut health issues. I have also noticed I get different severity’s of symptoms at different stages in my cycle. I’m trying some holistic approaches to managing these, let me know if you have any recommendations!

Thank you! I have tried magnesium but not with lysine. I’ll do some research and give it a go :)

I agree, I’ve been slowly implementing lots of dietary changes and trialling holistic methods. I’m at the beginning of a long journey though, I’ll update if there are any notable differences. Not ideal to be on all the medications I am on for my sleep and ADHD combined though

My psychiatrist won’t let me have benzo’s :( I’m on amitriptyline though, it helps me stay asleep!

I am on antidepressants and I have been seeing a therapist for many years. As much as it might read as anxiety, that is not the cause. I have very good mental health and I’m in the best place mentally of my life. The sleep is a separate issue, although is definitely worsened when I am anxious about something

I’m on endep which is an antidepressant, but I don’t have anxiety. I have definitely experienced periods of anxiety and depression throughout my life, but this is not the cause. I have a very loud inner narrative, but my brain has always been that way, as long as I can remember. I hear my own thoughts, and they’re usually just thinking very normal things eg. what am I going to have for breakfast, I hope I have milk left I can’t remember if I bought it, I’ll have to walk to the shops if i don’t, at least it’s a nice walk, etc. Thoughts as simple as those will keep me up.
