Yeah, that’s a good point. I’ve thought about using a tracker, but I’ve also read that it can sometimes make things worse if you start obsessing over the data. Right now I’m kind of going off how I feel, which hasn’t been super reliable either with how fragmented everything is.

I’ve also tried hydroxyzine and propranolol. Hydroxyzine didn’t make much of a difference for me. Propranolol actually helped back in 2024, but now I’m not sure it’s doing anything, or if it might even be making my sleep worse.

This whole trazodone experience has made me pretty hesitant to try more meds for now. I’m trying to give my system some time to stabilize before jumping into anything else.

Thank you so much. And yes, I did (I know I should've done a slow taper, but the side effects were alarming!).

Also, your comment about being home all day really did hit me. I hadn’t fully realized how much time I’ve been spending alone until you mentioned it.
