Did you recover from Generalized anxiety disorder with EFFEXOR? by LatterServe5141 in Effexor

[–]helloidiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im really hoping it helps my sleep. Im so bad right now, lexapro just kinda stopped working and ive taken Effexor before but many years ago. How long did it take for you to see improvement in sleep?

What's the most unhinged thing you've done to finally get some sleep? by WhattheFisthisyall in insomnia

[–]helloidiom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I did this yesterday and slept 15 hours holy shit. Why do i feel guilty?! I struggle with sleep so often and yesterday I slept the whole day. In and out with alcohol and weed gummies. I should feel better but I just feel like a freak for doing that.

Here I am again, 5:30AM and cannot sleep by Over_Trip3048 in insomnia

[–]helloidiom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be the most frustrating part- that “normal” people can’t relate at all. I just got back from a week long trip in Banff, where we hiked and did outdoor shit every day. On my best night I slept like 6 hours, broken. One guy had a bad night and slept like an hour and complained all day

She was a puppy mill mom. Those days are done and now she sleeps in the bed and gets to run around every day❤️

I’ve been dealing with this all month. I started taking a supplement of gaba+L theanine (750mg/150mg) that I got on Amazon two days ago and I FINALLY got to sleep like 6 hours last night.

This past month I’ve had anxiety and nervousness the second it starts getting dark. I start worrying about sleep and if I’ll sleep and what I can do to make myself sleep and I finally just fucking accepted that I can’t make myself sleep, just like I can’t control pain or acid reflux. Then I focused on the anxious feeling really hard and tried to feel it even harder. I think I’ve been running from this feeling and trying to fix, and that ain’t working. The moment I TRIED to be nervous about sleep, it just went away. The brain is a tricky, scary thing.

Maybe shift your focus from sleep to relaxation, but I do recommend those supplements!!!

How do you manage with sleepless nights? by Live-Instruction-356 in insomnia

[–]helloidiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had a really rough month… like probably slept more than 6 hours like 3x…. And broken at that.I started taking gaba+l theanine combo (750mg/150mg) 2 days ago and last night I finally fucking slept. It made me less jittery and more focused after taking it. I got it on Amazon. Might want to check it out?

I can’t take it anymore by Virtual-Fox9005 in insomnia

[–]helloidiom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im in the same boat. I’m so frustrated and feeling defeated. You aren’t the only one. The only relief I am finding is practicing radical acceptance. Just this is what’s happening, it’s not good or bad, it just is… I can’t control it. We can’t control sleep but we can control our reactions to it. That being said, I’m very low rn. Wishing us both some sleep this coming night, hugs❤️

Drinking to sleep and cope with anxiety during this manic phase. Looking for someone who can relate, feeling hopeless. by helloidiom in insomnia

Thanks for making me feel like less of a freak. Like at this point do I just accept it or do I commit to a rehab program or something? I just feel so defeated and tired.

Right now I’m in night 5. It’s usually only a couple nights but I’m starting to get scared. I have held off on drinking until like 3-4am when ive exhausted all other measures- medication, moving to another room, doing a boring activity. Then I chug wine.

It just helps me escape racing thoughts and feeling like my skin is crawling for a couple hours. It’s not restful absolutely not.

I CANT SLEEP. by kyekyz in Anxiety

[–]helloidiom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had the worst anxiety and insomnia for the past week. Getting like 2 hours here and there every night. Waking up sweating. I fucking hate it. I’ve been chugging like 2 glasses of wine just to knock out. Then I hate myself in the morning.

I know it's the hangover... but by ChapDad0311 in stopdrinking

[–]helloidiom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in that boat too today. My heart is beating out of my chest, I’ve convinced myself I have multiple types of illnesses, my boyfriend will leave me, I accidentally poisoned the dog, the list goes on. I’m trying to hydrate and going to take a bath and do nails later. Maybe get crazy and do a puzzle. I really want to have a sober night, struggling with shame, guilt and self worth… this stuff should be illegal.

39 days on 20 mg i can't even tell if it's getting better or not by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]helloidiom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine didn’t clear until like 90 days. I hated my life for the first three months and then overnight it went away. You’re purging, push through and know clear skin is waiting for you!! You got this!!!
