I guess I shouldn't be surprised at not sleeping. I spent all of yesterday disregulated and just on the edge of meltdown.

So. I have a bit of #insomnia happening. It's interesting to read and boost a few posts.

I hope Australia's elections go well for whoever the good guys might be, and I hope whichever fascists there are tank. I often feel like Australia and the USA are cousin nations. We're chock full of the descendants of indigenous survivors of genocide along with the many more descendants of colonizers.

Like every night. #insomnia #goodnight

Please. Someone. Please recommend a sleeping pill that works for early waking #insomnia.

Dayvigo rocks me about a half hour after I take it, like when it hits I know it and I am glad to be horizontal. But it just makes me feel high.

Ambien was meh. Timazepam is a nah because I take oxycodone. Melatonin gives me nausea and headaches.

LDN worked perfectly until perimenopause. Now it’s like I’m immune to LDN (and Adderall, my ADHD symptoms are out of control. FML

Mia labora tago hieraŭ estis tiel longa kiel Junio 21a ĉe Alasko/Norvegio ... mia menso estas kiel la menso de AlPacino je la filmo #insomnia

Yesterday my work day was as long as a June 21 in Alaska/Norway... my brain is like AlPacino's in #Insomnia

Ayer mi día laboral fue tan largo como un 21 de junio en Alaska/Noruega ... mi cerebro esta como el de AlPacino en #Insomnia

It’s 2:30 in the morning and I have meetings starting at 9:00AM. I finally started to fall asleep only to have that involuntary jerk startle me back to consciousness.
My brain has decided this about me sleeping tonight:
#insomnia

I've had two nights of good sleep in a row! What's next?? It'll be raining cheese on my birthday???
#sleep #cheese #health #insomnia

Me: Hey brain we should go to sleep, I need to get up early tomorrow.

My ADHD brain:

Well. It's nearly 6:30 am. I guess I should go to bed now.

Anyone try Dayvigo for #insomnia?
The doctor had me terrified of it. “It’s a controlled substance, but it’s probably OK. It has a 55 hour half life so it may be sadating the next day too.”

So I was scared. I cut the sleep pill in half. I put a barricade at the end of my hallway so I wouldn’t go down the stairs in my sleep because it warns of sleep eating like people do on Ambien.

I asked my neighbor if she could please call me when she wakes up if she doesn’t hear any signs of life from me over here and if I don’t answer the phone to please call the landlord so they can tell my emergency contact I’m probably not OK.

I even picked up my room a little extra before bed just in case paramedics had to come in here to drag my body out.

SO MUCH DRAMA FOR A MEDICATION THAT ROCKED ME FOR 15 MINUTES.

It was the weirdest thing, about a half hour after I took it I was like oh wow I get why she warned me I am high as hell. Then 15 minutes later, nothing. I took the second half, felt punched in the head a half hour later, than nothing.

#MECFS is literally killing me

I drank too much coffee again, leading to insomnia, which will likely lead to much coffee tomorrow…… #insomnia

I don’t have anything against insomnia. My problem is when I have insomnia.

Last night I tried to watch the show, Electrick Children. I made it through part of it, but it was so triggering to me that I had to stop. The main character, a 15 year old girl, was in a mormon sect. Her whole life was dictated and controlled. She was taught she needed to be docile and obedient.
My family was not mormon, but loosely had some isolationist elements. This show gave me a desperate feeling that I could not breathe. I then had a nightmare that I woke up crying from.
