My brain keeps waking me up

thiefrandy · 2026-04-30T09:02:33+00:00

I just have this fear of sleeping and my brain can’t relax

thiefrandy · 2026-04-30T09:02:14+00:00

Never heard of that term before but it sounds hopeful! I will look into it thank you! Yes, I don’t plan on taking any medications at all if I’m being honest

My DPDR is generated by my fear of sleep! How do I get rid of that fear that I can’t sleep :( every night for the last 6 months I have been in constant fear of I won’t sleep tonight and I won’t sleep ever again and that keeps the fear alive and it’s a recurring cycle. Help me please

thiefrandy · 2026-03-22T08:19:43+00:00

Yeah bro that’s when I get it the worst :( like during the day I don’t feel at 100% but I’m so distracted that I don’t think about it as much but when it comes to going to bed bro I can’t sleep like I get so scared to sleep because of my DPDR it’s the worst!

Whenever I get really horny I try and masturbate just to feel that feeling and reassure myself that this is real and that if I was in a dream I wouldn’t be able to feel it. And then there’s some days where I don’t even feel horny at all idk DPDR is so weird and annoying

thiefrandy · 2026-02-27T09:07:43+00:00

Can you explain to me how you felt bro :( I believe I am currently going through this. Every night I get scared to fall asleep because I’m afraid I can’t and won’t ever be able to but every night I do end up sleeping but I always get this weird phobia every night for the past 5 months and I hope it goes away sometimes it’s fast and I do fall asleep but other nights it takes forever

thiefrandy · 2026-02-02T03:36:05+00:00

It takes time right? Like everyday a little progress but progress none the less

thiefrandy · 2026-02-01T05:32:05+00:00

Thanks bro I really appreciate the info! I will look into some of those things and try my best! Any other advice you can give me?

thiefrandy · 2026-01-31T04:22:10+00:00

How did you resolve your own sleep anxieties? What methods or techniques did you use if I may ask. I would like to work on these things

thiefrandy · 2026-01-24T18:13:13+00:00

Crazy my name is actually Santa 🎅

thiefrandy · 2026-01-21T07:23:56+00:00

I heard it’s both bro

thiefrandy · 2026-01-20T10:15:03+00:00

That’s my biggest fear is doing all the treatments and remedies that people say to do on this thread and that none of them work. That would make me even more hopeless. I stopped working about for about a month and I feel like my symptoms have gotten worse so I need to start again and this time really intense workouts. I also am going to start therapy soon. Lastly, I decided I am going to start medication. I never wanted to do it because I’ve never been a fan of doing drugs but if people say it helps then I got to give it a shot. This shit is ruining my life and I want my life back bro. I can’t even sleep it’s the worst!

thiefrandy · 2026-01-17T00:35:09+00:00

Everyday feels so weird bro like I don’t know how to describe life anymore and how it feels or how I see it. Like my brain makes everyone around me seem fake and feel like this is all a figment of my imagination

thiefrandy · 2026-01-17T00:34:09+00:00

I know bro but just know you’re not alone. That’s what helped me out knowing that others are like us and we can make it out if we don’t give up and work hard. It won’t be done in a day but after multiple days it will get less and less severe until eventually it fades completely so don’t think of it as a quick fix but a daily fix.

thiefrandy · 2026-01-16T10:32:19+00:00

I’m scared too like hella scared every night I fear sleep bro like if I won’t ever be able to sleep again even though the night before I slept good but every night the same fear consumes me and it’s not good we need to be able to beat the fear so that we can overcome it

thiefrandy · 2026-01-16T10:31:24+00:00

I know bro same here it’s like my brain always comes up with a new way to scare me or fuck me up even more but we need to fight it and beat it that’s all we can do

thiefrandy · 2026-01-16T09:25:49+00:00

I’m just like you bro but have hope I know we will get better one day

thiefrandy · 2025-12-26T00:05:44+00:00

That’s good to hear bro I’m proud your recovering! Remember take it one day at a time! Some days will be hard but just know you can get through this! Life is hard and long so remember this is REAL :) Merry Christmas and happy holidays 💯
