Insomnia

I got diagnosed with OCD too. I love and hate it here. I love it because they really want to help you and they understand your hardships without getting you to talk. But I hate it here, they removed my nights meds so I didn't slept for 4 days. Even with my meds I couldn't sleep well so... yeah

Next week they'll finally change all my meds. That aren't working I had them since earlier this year.

Anyways, the weighted blanket isn't weighted enough, I like the noise canceling headphones. I stay most of the time in my room, I don't like being with people other than my actual friends.

They won't let me go bring some stuffs like the other I don't know why. Next week I'll probably be able to if I'm not alone.

Sleeping is hard for me. My insomnia is really bad. I don't sleep at all. With my meds I sleep a little. I wake up a lot fearing that I'm back at my family's home, etc. I'm never relieved from my thoughts. they keep running and coming back. I'm the prisoner of my mind.

2 managers had a talk with me yesterday about my attendance.
Because I called in once, and I’ve been late 4 times under 90 days.
Yesterday i accidentally took Trazadone (a sleeping medication for insomnia) instead of my Prozac, I was still waking up and I was in a rush to leave for work that I just took it without thinking. And on my way to work I was very sleepy, my eyes were wanting to close. So I got to work on time and then I headed back bc I was having a panic attack bc I was feeling super drowsy. I got home and that’s when i realized I took the wrong medication. So ofc I called in 2 hours later, and I took a nap for 2 hours and I felt better. Still groggy, but not as much.

The day before yesterday my boyfriend accidentally took my car to work, and mind you he works 30 mins away from home. He couldn’t have brought my car back, and I wasn’t sure if his brother was gonna be able to take me bc he’s known for being unreliable, luckily he did wake up but I had already called in bc I didn’t want to call in last minute.

And yesterday they had a talk with me and I basically felt cornered, and one of the managers told me to get it together after I explained to her that things have been rocky at home, and that it was just not under my control. She even told me “I’m not saying we don’t care but get it together” and I started tearing up. 🥺 the other manager stayed quiet, and didn’t say much, and was nicer but that mean manager threatened me to fire me, if I’m late on more time or if I call out one more time. The nicer manager told me my work ethic is good but that it won’t matter if I keep showing up late or calling off. I explained to them that it was just unpredictable , but they didn’t seem to care.

It made me so sad. And I was in a bad mood all of yesterday, and every time I go through something I always feel like I’m the only person in the world to have ever experienced this. I always feel so alone in my feelings, maybe bc I feel my feelings too much.

I’m not looking for advice unless you have some. I ofc take full responsibility for my actions, and my time. I know I can only just make sure to be there on time and show up everyday im scheduled.

But I just want to know I’m not alone in feeling this way. 😔

Hi, my name I’m Sunday.
I’m a proud recovering addict and a mental health advocate — four years into my recovery journey. I work as an addiction recovery coach and counselor, and I’m passionate about creating safe spaces where people can share, learn, and heal together.

I joined The Mighty because it feels different — kinder, more empathetic. I came across an article here today, and the comments really touched me. Most online spaces can be harsh, but here, people seem to listen with compassion, and that’s something I deeply value.

I live with ADHD, I have a highly functioning anxiety, seasonal depression and insomnia, so I’m here not just to share, but also to learn how to manage my own challenges better. My recovery and mental health management have taught me that healing happens in community. I also run www.mwangazawasunday.co.tz — not to promote, but to share the kind of programs that have helped me and others find light in dark places.

I live by Step 12 of the AA program: to be of service to others. Every day, I try to show up with gratitude, humility, and a willingness to help and learn — because I know what it’s like to be lost and to find hope again.

I’m really looking forward to learning from all of you, sharing stories, and walking this journey together — one honest conversation at a time.

I will be going to a rheumatologist soon and I’m wondering what others have experienced with regards to being evaluated for chronic pain. I have had shoulder, neck and hip pain for about a year and a half. I also have long-lasting pain whenever I have an injury (no matter how minor and no matter the location on my body). I have insomnia for the first time in my life and migraines, too. Hormone levels are good. I’ve had my ANA checked twice: once positive and once negative. I have some markers for lupus. I’ve had MRIs on my neck and shoulders, showing nothing but herniated discs. My mother and sister have fibromyalgia. My biggest question is whether I have fibromyalgia or PMR (or both) because of the location of the pain and my response to steroids (they have helped a lot). I know PMR is almost exclusively 50+ and I’m 45. Any thoughts? Thanks 🙂 #Fibromyalgia #PMR #PolymyalgiaRheumatica #ChronicPain

All About Sleep Disorders Based Off Of AI
A sleep disorder is a condition that disrupts the normal quality, timing, or amount of sleep, leading to problems with daily functioning and overall health. Common examples include insomnia (difficulty sleeping), obstructive sleep apnea (breathing interruptions during sleep), narcolepsy(excessive daytime sleepiness), restless legs syndrome (an urge to move the legs at night), and parasomnias (unwanted events during sleep, such as sleepwalking.) They can be diagnosed through sleep study and treated with medication, health habits, and psychotherapy. I have been through this process before and it really works.

I haven't been doing well at all. I keep getting panic attacks I have headaches a d I can't sleep. My OCD is flaring up and I've been crying a lot making my depression and anxiety bad my insomnia is at it's worse.
