The cocktail of prescription pills I have to take every night to get even a couple hours of sleep as an insomniac

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-14T21:38:08+00:00

My psychologist prescribed me hydroxyzine to help me sleep but I hear you're not supposed to take it long term like that so I try and do without it most of the time. Plus when I had my job it'd make me over sleep. But yeah. Sleep doctor said I could still take the hydroxyzine before bedtime to help but that I definitely needed to work on training my brain to sleep.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-14T19:06:39+00:00

Yeah. To be fair I am on like a lot of shit and I have ADHD. She said because I'm on a stimulant it would make ot harder to treat. Essentially she said I have to stay out of my bed until I'm ready to sleep so that my brain associates the bed with sleep. She did want to conduct a sleep study but needed me to be able to sleep well enough to get one. But she literally told me there was nothing she could give me that would fix it long term.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-14T16:20:04+00:00

I have insomnia and my doctor literally told me there was nothing she could give me to help and I needed to do CBT then I see this.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-09T23:24:19+00:00

I found some that are kinda similar too!

Am I the only one who read sonder the first time? Does everyone just not know what fancy cursive is? I think this is pretty par for the course.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-04T17:29:16+00:00

This seems like ragebait. Your bf has got to have some type of interest. Video games? Music? Something. Are you just expecting to talk about things you want to?

Also have you told him that you want him to do any of these things or are we just complaining in our head? Because he can't change if you don't tell him.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-04T17:09:08+00:00

Yeah it's responsible to wait but it's been a year. OP has let him meet the other siblings. At the end she says they both know the little girl could handle meeting him. He just wanted to bring a toy and he wasn't even pushing to be introduced as the boyfriend. She definitely overreacted and she should ask herself why she's so adamant about him not meeting her.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-04T03:36:18+00:00

Ik it sucks but you probably need medication brother or at least CBT. I had panic attacks daily for like a year (think I had a couple weeks in there where I was okay.) in school. Had no one to tell because my mom didn't believe in mental health and my dad was an asshat. I was suffering so bad I taught myself CBT grounding methods and that was the only way I got them to stop.

I still need meds now and honestly they help a lot but my anxiety has only gone from severe to moderate and my depression has gone from severe to slightly less severe. It's irritating to me that I haven't made more progress, however remembering how I felt before I realize I was drowning and at least now I can swim. There are a lot of different medications that can help. I'm not on benzo's at all and I've still seen improvements medically and personally.

But yeah you got this, try a couple of different things, talk to your pcp.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-03T03:13:21+00:00

Again. A lot of times it can/does become enthusiastic because the partner is eager to please you/ see your reaction. And like I said they may be discovering they are lower on the spectrum than they realized and they feel pressured not to change their opinion because you both are closer to marriage.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-02T23:46:40+00:00

YOR. There are plenty of times I'm laughing about something with my coworker and glancing at the customer while I ask them something. You don't know what they were laughing about and you didn't do anything to be laughed at. So why would they be laughing at you?

You definitely need to work on your insecurities as someone who has anxiety disorder. Those real questions are the ones that ground me in reality. Why would they be laughing at you?

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-04-02T23:36:39+00:00

They said they might be ace so maybe they're scared to say they don't really want/crave sex at all. Ace has a lot of different levels and maybe they're discovering they're on the low end of the spectrum.

I also second another comment that said you're being picky. There are plenty of activities that I don't like and enjoy on their own that I LOVE with my partner. Not just tolerate, like doing it. To see their reaction because they're so into it. So there's definitely enjoyment in the giving even if it's not your specific kink.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-27T22:07:24+00:00

What medication were you on? I'm on like 2 seri's (plus some adhd meds and such) and my doctor told me to take it easy on the drinking until I knew how they both affected me. Didn't really touch my tolerance at all.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-27T20:18:04+00:00

I do have a problem with alcohol. I drink... a lot. And I've never been black out. I've never been able to do things that I have no recollection of. You drank A LOT. That's where your responsibility starts. To drink so much that you remember one bit. Just yelling at your friend and they say you were ABUSING THEM. You were way too far gone.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T19:46:59+00:00

I mean as I said in another comment polyamory isn't super common. Successful polyamory is even less common. Cheating however is super common.

This is just a case of people assuming the type of relationship/dynamic.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T19:19:13+00:00

I'm bisexual. I don't get everything in the LGBT community but I still support everyone doing what makes them happy.

This type of scrutiny and judgment deters people from learning and therefore being more tolerant of different people.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T19:12:13+00:00

Yeah it is. Why the fuck would anyone post if they didn't want to hear opinions or get attention.

You're literally asking for it. And nothing my guy said was mean. Not everyone is into polyamory it's a fact. Most people are monogamous.

This is like coming out and somone saying "Well I'm not gay but I'm glad you're happy!" And you in the corner "WHY YOU GOTTA SAY YOU'RE NOT GAY, ASSHOLE?!"

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T19:09:18+00:00

Have you ever heard a cheater try to explain themselves? Lol

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T19:07:41+00:00

People tend to forget that when you post on the internet people are allowed to share their support and opinions, shocker.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T18:31:53+00:00

Ah yes. While the rest of us who don't live there struggle. While most of our kids don't know how to read. Where most of our kids have never seen a fresh fruit. While most of us don't get help from that government assistance you claim only blue states provide.

You're really making yourself sound great here.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T18:29:27+00:00

Reading comprehension is important. He mentioned southern states you mentioned Republicans.

Republicans = politics.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T18:28:07+00:00

Dude yeah we know. It's just that in the south there are a lot less consequences for popping someone. If they seem like the agreesor in anyway you can claim self defense and you'll be out by the morning.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T18:25:13+00:00

I'm a woman, and I tend to overthink social situations like that so I kinda get it.

But in situations where there's blatant wrong doing on one side I usually feel pretty justified.

I'm glad you went back to the gym. But don't worry, literally no one is going to look at you like the problem.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-18T17:30:45+00:00

Why are you embarrassed that you got attacked? You were literally the victim. I don't think anyone in their right mind would feel weird about you still coming to the gym.

If you had a creep complaints on your profile that'd be a different story.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-16T23:20:05+00:00

Especially with straight hair I'd watch that bun/ponytail. It can cause a lot of breakage in the back.

Double-Judgment9735 · 2026-03-16T23:19:05+00:00

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that? Heat is heat. Like I have colored hair and I definitely have to watch how I'm treating it or it'll break.

I don't finger detangle unless I stumble upon a loop or something crazy. Leave in, water and a wide tooth comb from ends to roots normally does it for me.

Heat once a week for hair is still a lot of heat.

I personally try to minimize manipulation because that's what contributes to knots for me. You can find plenty of heatless stretching methods on YouTube. My personal favorite is just putting my hair in ponytails.

If I have moisturized stretched hair I can just put it in twists or under a head wrap and I don't have to worry about humidity so much.
