I've had some real trouble sleeping, it literally controls my life. I've just taken a double dose of the 3.75mg zoplicone I was given from the doctors and now I've been told I might be going to see a psychiatrist. I don't really understand why it's so bad at the moment, does this kind of thing get worse in hard times and it all just builds up to not being able to sleep? I've had my oldest friend try kill himself and no he didn't mess around like some, he went for the full end game. It is in the past and it is difficult being his friend sometimes. My school life was far from ordinary, I learned I had to toughen up pretty quick in the environment I was in.

After college I was introduced to the drug scene surprisingly by friends of the friend that tried to top himself. It was a fun experience for me at times and at others it was horrible agonising, doing so much I puked out a bile of insides probably. I learnt though after how destructive they can be and got out, although Mary Jane sometimes still calls me. I hated the fact that the people around my friend encouraged the behaviour to my friend in his poor mental state. It was a difficult situation.

Money's one thing I hate with a passion,(maybe my hate for money contributes?)I imagine a lot of people do, seems to me the rich get richer these days with their giant corperations like the evil Walmart that owns my workplace and we get left scraping the bottom of the butter while they wonder over to another country and pretty much kill for money. So ye does anyone else have any experience on insomnia and what I'm actually going through?

It sounds like you really have a lot on your mind I think a psychiatrist or phycologist is needed for you to talk to about your issues. Even if you can think if anything it very well could be repressed memories and if your taking those strong seditives with no relief then you obviously have a much deeper problem that needs to be explored.
 
I was given xanax for insomnia... and i dont care what people say. it really is the best thing for insomnia.
 
yes that may work to cover up the problem if its short term but for the long term its probally best to deal with whats bothering you to get to the cause of your insomnia. and benzos are highly addictive my mom got them for stress and got hooked right away and had to suffer through the most hellish withdrawals on earth and today all her problems are still there and shes even worse than she was before.

in todays society everyone right away thinks oh I must get a pill to fix this but what we don't realize is we are only sweeping the problem under the rug for a short while its still therejust not as noticeable. I say its better to get to the root of the problem and tackle it head on.
 
G'day mate, read your post, glad you joined up and voiced this out, this must be pretty tough what you're going through.

Hows your diet and general life routine? Try and keep positive and healthy, try and get 3 meals a day, can always soldier through stuff the day a lot better if you can. :)

Shit didn't expect replies already, I do completely agree with train spotter, I personally have never agreed with meds, they're no good. like he said it's just suppressing, and I don't want suppression. I have always hated the thought of the psychiatrist because i like to believe I am strong alone. I have never talked to anyone about anything in the past until just recently with some friends, but it's never deep, there's only one friend from time to time I really get deep with and we let it all out and it means a hell of a lot to me. But obviously I don't want to be negative too often for my own good and others.

I know that I just need to except the things I cant change but man it's just difficult sometimes. I have had days where I feel like I can literally do anything and I miss it.

I eat enough, maybe unhealthy too much which I know I need I change because even that can lift you up.

I do find weed helps( it's not for everyone though! I don't want to promote it if you can't hack it) at times it's my worst enemy and my best friend bringing out and sub conscious thoughts but even though it can be not the best experience at the same time it's good to recognise it and think on what I can do, and if nothing then I just have to say fuck it, try be positive and hopefully whatever it is will change(my mentally ill friend for one example)

Even just getting this out on here actually makes me feel a lil better and I guess I'll go to the psychiatrist and try my best to stay away from the meds. I wish cannabis was legal tbh so I could get that instead but the street price is too much for me right now ha.
Much love everyone, thankyou n that. and ye I might just do that afterlyfe
 
I have insomnia too and it gets to me. Once it starts snowballing and you have night after night with no sleep it can cause a lot of other problems. I would definitely try talking to a doctor about it to make sure there aren't any physical problems going on. Are you a worrier? If so, set a book on mindfulness techniques and try to change some of the thoughts you have about your feelings--it has really helped me.
