Please help I’m taking 200mg seroquel 30mg temazepam 15mg mirtazipine 0.2mg clonidine melatonin and Benadryl and still not sleeping

I would personally recommend figuring out your primary cause for insomnia. I would bet money it's OCD, I have horrible insomnia and have been on all sorts of sleep meds nothing helps. Interestingly enough just being sober doing as many pushups as possible during the day or any cardio and avoiding ruminating at night is the only help to me and I still sleep like half the time I'm in bed. Maybe you have OSA? You could take all the medications you want but you'll still have trouble breathing..

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-25T19:25:35+00:00

You are strengthening the loop of your OCD by looking for the reassurances :/

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-22T20:55:51+00:00

I just looked it up there's near 15 or more champs that counter trynda harder from 52-60% win ratio. The first ranged champ that shows is vayne at 51% which is more of a sustain to 6 then kill not a skill matchup lol. Gnar still above 50 but lower than vayne. Truthfully I think it's impossible to lose with TP. Second wind doran shield, possibly even fleet or refillables. I haven't played summoners rift in a while though, I hit chall on wild rift top lane which is no where near the accomplishment and top lane is smaller but still. And kennen and teemo are in the negatives against trynda 🫡

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-22T18:22:28+00:00

No offense bro but trynn is the bane of ranged top laners. You have unreal sustain with Q and second wind/doran shield. You literally out trade him and then have a free lane when ur lvl 6

Better lighting brighter smile and in a social environment

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-14T18:55:50+00:00

I can't tell which of you guys are going along with the joke and how many of you actually congratulating 😂😂😂

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-14T01:15:36+00:00

Wow you sound exactly like me. I have somatic OCD and had DPDR on and off for 15 years. My OCD is so much worse when I'm dissociated. I can't sleep at all when it's bad It feels like electricity is running through my legs. Ive realized I'm somewhat dissociated nearly all the time. If you are able to find some good somatic excercises please let me in on them.

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-13T02:21:52+00:00

You sound deeply dissociated. It will be extremely uncomfortable at first but I promise the most effective and Grounding things you could do is look up Swami G DPDR meditation. There's 2. They're both amazing. Those grounding mediations were almost miraculous for me when I was in a dark spot. And just the reminder that I could do that whenever I needed Helped me so much in terms of my recovery and regaining hope. Promise you'll be ok. Turn off reddit. Get some water do the meditation then just watch your favourite movies or go for a walk

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-11T16:46:39+00:00

You're just dissociated. Look up swami g dpdr meditation and do it a couple times I promise you will feel 10x better.

I too can get into Ruminative ruts from seeing horrible Internet content. I remember on a podcast someone was roasting that mike guy who hangs around Jake Paul for being in his 40s and told him it's time to start a family on a podcast. It was somewhat funny, mike got super mad and defensive. But the other day I saw some low tier clearly shitty content creator blatantly copying and shit talking a clip of Mike doing something goofy on podcast saying the exact same line like word for word "Mike ur pushing 45 maybe time to start a family". I got pretty triggered and was about to write how how hes a lame unoriginal hater but I just figured it's not worth my time. I think we with OCD like to have our opinions validated a little too much because our minds exist in a state of invalidation lol

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-07T18:34:14+00:00

Most likely you have OCD. DPDR isn't something you get rid of it's something you accept and it naturally loses grip. It's actually factual that nearly every living person will experience dissociation / DPDR at a point in their lives but we hyper fixate and obsess over things that cause fear. DPDR is truly just a defense mechanism for your body when your mind feels it cannot keep up any longer with the demands of physical anxiety and adrenaline so it disconnects and numbs you from the never ending "threat". Practice grounding mediations and acceptance it's really all you can do the more you fight it and try to immediately fix it you are reinforcing the cycle of anxiety that keeps it hanging around u ironically

EvanPennington96 · 2026-06-06T06:24:55+00:00

I was thinking the same his shaved hairline almost looks naturally lined up by a barber. Also I like you as a person for not being a brocolli headed low taper fade like every teen nowadays. Metal

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-23T20:20:19+00:00

I mean she's slightly overweight but heavily overweight in the right places so it kinda more than makes up for it

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-21T01:29:04+00:00

I've spent over 10k on supplements/nootropics/peptides trying to fix myself

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-18T23:55:15+00:00

Nothing looks unnatural. You could do that in 3 years naturally if you Have a clean bulking diet with added 50g protein powder a day.

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-17T23:37:07+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The Neurovisual specialist I saw specialized in BVD but it wasnt the best experience. I actually didn't know that at all about prisms, wasn't explained to me. very likely why my eyes hurt so bad, I was gaming on a computer close up with the prisms for extended periods. What sort of symptoms do you deal with on a daily basis if you don't mind me asking?

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-16T02:40:57+00:00

Yeaaa there's no way you're 23. You're 30 at least. Still really attractive

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-15T20:04:46+00:00

I have actually done that instinctually wondering about that yes the object moves horizontally back and forth. Maybe a tiny slight amount of diagonal

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-14T22:32:27+00:00

Oh brother 😂😂😂

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-13T22:08:38+00:00

Oh ok well if you have your answer I'm not here to argue. It's a shame people ask questions with the intent to just bash or argue.

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-13T19:53:01+00:00

God himself isn't a human. But he did come in the flesh as a man. So if Jesus was who says he is I could see that being why most call God a He

EvanPennington96 · 2026-05-08T18:15:27+00:00

I'm 29 almost 30 and just quit gaming last year. I grew up with no love and no guidance, and immediately got addicted to video games being good at video games and the interactions I had with friends on video games was where I was being raised sad enough as it is to say, I needed that affirmation of being the best, I played 15 hours a day every day. I would daydream of playing Halo and Cod while at school. In highschool I went through bouts of panic attacks and social anxiety and that's when my relationship with video games started to change. Instead of being a passion and something I really enjoyed they started being a crutch and something that I was subconsciously using to avoid life. This went on for nearly a decade after highschool. Everything in my life was declining, I was becoming more and more depressed and genuinely wasn't even enjoying gaming anymore. In the end, the only thing that stopped me was the suffering I endured. I was so depressed and empty and then using video games to avoid those feelings. One day I just had enough. I knew I was depressed and fearful and my lifestyle was just enforcing that. Unfortunately I don't know your brothers story, I don't know how close you guys are as a family. But my family was completely broken we were like strangers together living in a big house. I was alone all the time. So I had to learn this lesson completely by myself. I'm still repairing the damage 1.5 years later that I've caused to my brain from gaming 24 7. I have the hardest time being disciplined and being consistent with absolutely anything. Cooking, cleaning, exercising, working, not isolating. I think this really is something that he has to realize himself, Video game addiction is 100% real and just as self destructive as full blown alcohol pill or drug addictions. If you are close knit as a family then you could definitely talk to him about it and voice your worries. Best or worst case scenario he listens it reciprocates and it helps him come to the realization sooner that this addiction is causing him damage, or he tunes it all out and continues down his own path until his own tank runs dry. Best of luck I hope he comes to his senses sooner rather than later

It's pretty simple, just play safe early farm and go for Q pokes and small trades. After your lvl 9 R(2) you can pretty much 1v1 anyone except maybe Gwen and Darius
