need sleep

Post Reply New Topic

I've hardly slept for 3 nights I keep feeling like something terrible is about to happen.
I'm supposed to be meeting my support worker in town tomorrow but if I don't sleep tonight I doubt I'll make it because I'm pretty much at passing out point now.

The first night I was waking up on the hour, every hour. Then I had to get up early today and that just about finished me. I look white & frail, I'm only 22 =(

Dammit I really want to cry after writing that.

maybe you have insomnia? I can not fall asleep until 5 in the morning. There is medication one can take for this condition.

If it's because you're anxious, low doses of an antipsychotic like pericyazine can help relax you enough to get to sleep. It's what I use when I have freakouts.

Definitely see a doctor if it's persisted this long and is ruining your ability to function. No one deserves to go without sleep.
