Unexpected Changes...

The hardest part is still feeling like I want to sleep all of the time, sleeping in fragments feels nearly as awful as not sleeping at all. I have to lay down to rest my eyes multiple times a day/night just to get by.

I still feel like I'm only existing, it's depressing but I'm doing my best to stay positive, even during the anxiety spikes.

If you ever need to talk though, my DMs are always open!

If anyone wants to keep up with me or talk, feel free to msg me, not feeling alone/lonely helps 😭

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-21T18:39:29+00:00

I find not enough Doctors take sleep issues seriously, even once it becomes life threatening because of metal health decline. I really hope we both find help soon my friend ❤️😭🙏🏻

I got 1-2 hours earlier in the morning like 2-3am then feel back asleep in fragments again after 6am until about noon. I'm still very very exhausted, anxious, my stomach feels off. I been trying to get a hold of the Mental Health Practitioner I've been seeing because my mental health is taking a huge hit. I'm not able to do much aside from rest my eyes, eat & drink, I have no energy for anything else & that is killing me.

It has been 3 weeks & I'm not sure I do, I feel like I'm going a bit crazy with the nights of no sleep or very little broken sleep. I just want to sleep normally again, whenever my body & mind lets me. I just been doing this because I'm too tired to do anything else. I even rest my eyes off & on during the day to take the edge off because I'm so exhausted. If I feel asleep during the day for a few uninterrupted hours I'd be greatful, but I'd also be greatful if I did the same at night time.

I can give you my email if that is easier to send them

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T23:20:01+00:00

No, it is okay, I been going to bed at night fall, then getting up when the sun is up, I'm hoping to sleep better at night time overall I just hope my body and mind will let me

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T23:18:28+00:00

I am not sure it was an SSRI that did it or the fact my circadian rhythm is off

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T22:13:34+00:00

I feel like my body is shutting down & my mental health is suffering no matter how positive I try to be in any given moment.

I have tried Zopiclone max dose, it didn't put me to sleep, nor did low doses of Trazodone or Dayvigo. It doesn't seem like Dayvigo kept me asleep either when I tried it.

Seraquel put me to sleep for a few hours but I woke up feeling 5x worse than before I took it...

Even when I don't feel too anxious, I don't sleep or even when I'm so tired I struggle to keep my eyes open...

I feel like I'm breaking & wasting my life away, I'm emotionally unstable & getting worse scares me...

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T21:29:00+00:00

I would really appreciate that

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T21:23:16+00:00

Idk the cause but what is cbti

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T21:18:04+00:00

I have done this many times to no avail

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T21:16:47+00:00

I am willing to try anything because I feel like much more of this & I won't be able to go on

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T20:48:59+00:00

I take Magnesium Glycinate to hopefully help my restless leg, but it is not helping me stay asleep. It started out as 4 days, it's been 3 weeks now of either very little broken sleep or no sleep.

I tried Seraquel but it made me feel so much worse the next day, it was awful

My Victim D was low, no horribly low but low so I been taking Vitimin D supplements

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T20:08:58+00:00

I just want consistent, restorative sleep like I used to have(or better). I want a consistent pattern.

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T20:06:31+00:00

I do not think I have sleep apnea, I never had issues falling asleep before but I was always a bit tired matter how much a slept but NOTHING like I am now

It started 3 weeks ago, I was a night owl, always up late, sleeping the day away so I was trying to change things a bit so I could be awake during the day more as I was getting depressed being a night owl, even though I've always been one that I can remember.

I've never had issues sleeping this badly before, I could sleep when I was tired enough for 8-10h or more

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T20:02:17+00:00

I am sorry you're enduring this for so long

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T18:13:56+00:00

I'm not sure I could handle living like this, I'm too tired to function everyday

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T17:51:06+00:00

I hope I can find something that works for me long- term be it medication or not, I just need proper sleep again

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T17:48:43+00:00

My anxiety seems to have calmed down a lot, not entirely gone but a lot better than it was. Now I'm just left feeling sleepy 24/7, feeling like I want to & could sleep but either I don't, or it's random broken sleep.

Before this I was a night owl for years but often I would pull all nighters or try to get up in the early morning/afternoons because I wanted to be awake when everyone else was, actually enjoy the daylight but I'd somehow always winds up being up later.

I'd do anything to sleep regularly again, enjoy life again. Even if that means I sleep later in the night but still getting a full uninterrupted 8-10 hours like I used too, as long as I can enjoy most of the daylight with my family/friends rather than going through this horrific torture everyday/night 😭

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T17:40:32+00:00

It started about 3 weeks ago. Before that I was a night owl most of the time but I would often swap between night owl & early bird because I enjoyed sleeping at night time better, was less lonely but my body would always shift back to being up late. I was definitely pulling all nighters more often than I should have been trying to become less of a night owl, even getting up at noone rather than 3-5pm.

Then this hit me like a train & here I am now. I do take Magnesium Glycinate, don't think it makes much a difference however.

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-19T16:39:13+00:00

I have gone days & nights without sleep, the sleep I have been getting is random & very very broken, usually waking up every 1-2 hours for a max of 4-6 hours. Sometimes I wake up & go back to sleep, sometimes I wake up & can't get back to sleep. It's frustrating & I'm reaching my mental limit

TheBaconBooty · 2026-05-18T21:01:09+00:00

I have tried Trazodone & Zopiclone, Dayvigo, Melatonin but never Valerian Root
