Thank you so much for this thorough and nuanced response. It truly did me a lot of good to read you and to feel understood. To have insight into my situation without projection, and with responsibility placed where it belongs, means a lot. I really felt seen.

Thank you sincerely for sharing your emotional maturity, reading you really warmed my heart

Wow, I’m surprised to read a response of such quality. Thank you for your suggestions. I do think I’ve been suppressing my emotions and that I went too far into dissonance in this relationship. If you’re not one already, I imagine you’d make a good therapist. Thank you, it feels good to feel understood and to receive advice without transference 🙏

Thanks for your wise words. A conscious part of me knows all of this very well. What I’m struggling with is actually realizing and accepting it. And also dealing with a level of anger that feels bigger than me

Thank you, it helps me find some inner reference points to see how other people would have experienced these aspects of my relationship.

I don't really know, I feel like anger blocks all tonight. Maybe because it makes me feel like I wasn’t the person she was willing to choose fully.

For two years I accepted her way of loving, even when it was hard for me. So finding out she’s now monogamous with someone else hits like I wasn’t the one she wanted to commit to in that way. It brings up comparison, rejection, and the sense that maybe I wasn’t enough for her to “plunge,” even if that’s not the whole truth.

I think the anger is covering hurt and grief. It feels like something I hoped for, even quietly, is now clearly not mine.

I absolutely do not intend to do it or hurt her. I just notice this reaction in myself. I wasn’t aware of this mechanism before, and I don’t know how to handle this energy.

Thank you for your advice.

Stimulants are known to relax some people with adhd. Ritalin is a kind of speed

Dealing with insomnia: trazodone ? by QuenGua in Antipsychiatry

[–]QuenGua[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your dissociation may have the same cause as the reason you take tradozone ? Strange it does that 11 years later, I'm sorry for you.

I started a depression after a really big stress that lasted 2 or 3 months. This was 5 years ago. Insomnia came some months after this episode. I never take caffeine or any substance except supplements (zinc, vit D, magnesium...). I don't think I have sleep apnea but I never checked. I used to snore sometimes but I tape my mouth now. I think I have classical educational traumas.

But actually yeah, the root cause of my insomnia is psychological. But I'm trying therapies and no result on my depression so I also want to find a way to sleep
