[Bluewhale3]

It started out with worry and then I had anxiety I would sleep but would have bad dream's . I would try and catch myself CAuse I didn't want to have them anymore. The worry happened after. Break up . I went through a lot of stage's past 2-weeks.sleep paralysis,mood swing's,depression , frustration . I went to a physician subscribed trazadone and anxiety pills , trading supposed worked for 3 days , fist night took them and woke up my rested,woke up at 4am. Had a good dream , 2 few hours 3day on and off. I've been recovering because I know the groove now, but I still cannot sleep i just rest. I almost fell asleep 5days ago by I was self aware and said something that helps me let go for a few moments. Then I woke up cause I thought I was not going to breathe. I have a big headache for not fully letting go , I listen to music to help distract I almost fell into it and it felt pleasing then I had to us that bathroom and I got frustrated because I constantly keep awke. Im not trying to complain here I just simply don't really have anymore ideas on how to manage. I know I need trarpy but that's until next month on the 24. I just want to knock out ,the laying in bed is tr only get I get (sleep) . As I'm writing this I have no interest in Even paying attention,but yet wat the heck if I'm still awake  closed eyes. Can someone please tell me what can help me. I know i can sleep i just am at the very tip ,bu for some reason I probably am timid maybe my mind I dont really know . Eyes hold back but I can fully let my body go, it's like I can't know when I am or something then I can't .

I've going though the same thing and it's horrible because right when you're drifting off something doesn't allow u to fully sleep one thing that works for me is trying to stay awake as long as possible and once I feel the sleep coming on I let be and go to sleep of course you might wake up through the night but that's normal until your body fully adjusts to sleep again try writing or reading usually works for me good luck :)

The best way to manage insomnia that I've found are CBT sleep training methods.  Drug-free and help most who try them.  They represent a permanent solution.  Much good info online if you are the self-help type, otherwise ask your doc for a referral to a sleep clinic or counselor that uses them.
