Ptsd and insomnia

I can’t sleep. I endured something really traumatic almost 3 months ago. I feel really tired. So I go to “bed” and it seems like time is passing similar to sleep but not fully. And I feels like I’m dreaming but it’s really just me making it up. And when I snap out of it. I realize I didn’t get any sleep at all. And then I’ll get this random burst of sadness and feeling out of control. And an intense feeling of fear but fear from nothing. I just cry and it only last for 5 minutes. And then I just snap out of it. During the days I have such bad memories. Time isn’t even real anymore. #PTSD #Insomnia

Miss Rosie with her boyfriend named Bruno. He is a Great Dane!!

They LOVE to play so our day revolves a Lot on hearing his bark from our bedroom and then Rosie races off the bed and spins and spins and spins in happiness while barking with her playful yips.

It is so much fun (Nixing the part where my joints all painfully pop out as I try to hurry and let her out) then she races up to the fence to bark and spin a lot more.

She was scared of his big self at first but me going up to him and giving him scrapes helped build up her courage ❤️

Can you tell she is my LIFE? 😁❤️✨️💖

Struggles that are winning...

(Sorry if this post doesn't belong here)

Sinnce June this year I've been an emotional Richter scale (even more than before June)I had some of the best moments I'll ever have in my life and some of the worst. What came of all this was I was officially diagnosed with borderline personality.
Up until June I was on several depression, anxiety, pain management, insomnia, antipsychotic, and nerve pain meds. Abruptly in June all my meds stopped refilling due to a "clerical typo" on the insurance's side. Obviously I went into BAD withdrawals.
In August I was put on to one prescription for anxiety at a midocre dose with no follow up DR appt for 2 months. I was FAR from stable-ish.
Also in August I met someone incredible. We were like twins and we built each other up. She convinced me she wasn't going anywhere. So I took down my walls. She started to help me be "ok" with being ...me. I ALMOST started to like myself.
Longs story abbreviated (a little)..... She broke my heart twice. I tried to end myself twice. Ended up in a behavioral "hospital". All they did was prescribe a bunch of medication without asking me any questions.
I got out 10 days later.
I have lost interest in all my hobbies, likes, ... Essentially everything that I felt defined me as "me" I don't like anymore because I had associated it all with her. This all probably sounds very foolish but it wasn't. I have never felt that way about anyone before. I'm certain I never will again. I have come to terms that I'll be alone. I know who I'm supposed to be with ... and she is with the person she's supposed to be with.
I finally met with a therapist and a psychiatrist. That's when I was diagnosed with BPD. Up until then I knew I had CPTSD, circadian sleep disorder, anxiety depression etc etc.
Now I'm dealing with weekly medication adjustments, trying to reinvent myself, and... Just trying to exist.

To my tea loving sisters here......

This particular tea is part of my wind for awesome sleep regimen l. I pop 600 mgs of Calcium, 500 mgs of Magnesium, 50 mgs Zinc for good measure, spray the head of my sleeping quarters with lavender oil & wash them down with my tea here. It is a very nice relaxing glass of iced Passion tea. ..I had my Feminine plumbing removed over an ovarian cancer scare & there went my hormone chemistry for better sleep. It has taken me awhile to figure this formula out but it works well for me 5 out of 7 nights. I see no physicians now. So, the good Lord is in charge of me Temple we be good with his care. Anyway for anyone dealing with that wretched insomnia this is a just a suggestion.

Lil Miss Rosie had a dental cleaning vet appointment. Her owners who bred her in a tiny cage didn't help teeth cleaning for her first 4yrs.

7 teeth had to be removed and her two removed back molars were barely hanging on. For the past year I am so glad I begged my parents for this dental appointment. Already we can tell she chews normally without bouncing food around her mouth in obvious pain.

Of course animals require anesthesia so the pets don't face stress and the vets can work more easily. 6hours was so long as I worried for her.

Expensive but SO worth it! Her breath smells so so much better! Warm fuzzies all around! Though I do miss her tiny tooth that use to stick out like a super cute gremlin! Lol

Bless this dear pup friend 'o mine!!! ❤️ ❤️

Is it normal that I can't getred of my panic attacks!!!

Hey everyone, 😊 I wanted to share a bit about my journey. For the past 10 years, I’ve been living with not just one, but three chronic illnesses: lupus, kidney failure requiring dialysis, and a genetic blood clotting disorder. It’s been a decade filled with surgeries, hospital stays, and endless dialysis sessions. Alongside all the physical battles, I’m also dealing with severe depression, anxiety attacks, constant nausea, and insomnia. Some days feel heavier than others, but knowing I’m in a space where people understand the weight of it all makes a world of difference. Thank you for listening. 💙

Concerned "Marilyn" the religious nut will start with her harassment again . This lady told me if I believed in her "God" I would be able to sleep and would not suffer. Yet here she was in a group related to insomnia. She constantly harassed my posts with her religious monologues, blaming me for what I was going through. She knew nothing about me or my beliefs. I kindly asked her to keep those comments off my posts as it was disrespectful. She posted same thing on another of my posts. I tried blocking her and someone how she was always unblocked. I asked staff they only instructed me how to block her, which didn't work... So I deleted my account.

Religion is personal, not everyone will agree with you. Find like minded folks, if you don't know a person keep religion out of your comment.

Respect my boundaries and beliefs, I'll respect yours.
