I think i've stopped sleeping
It's kind of driving me crazy.
I've been an insomniac on and off for about 3 years, there was a period of 6 months where I must have slept an hour a night...whatever.
I've been given the traditional sleeping tablets like zopiclone and temazipne (sp?) but they trigger me into self harming badly and don't actually get me to sleep. I normally take promethazine when I have trouble (since last oct) and its worked well.
My sleep has been bad for a couple of weeks. I've tried to do all the sleep hygiene stuff like going to bed at a regular time but I just lie awake and get really frustrated. When I can deal with this it doesn't bother me more than being really tired, screwing up my routine and making me look like hell. When i can't deal with it, i get completely trapped in side myself and really really really suicidal.
Anyway, nothing else has changed, no new meds or anything like that. I've been getting to sleep around 4 and waking up mid morning no matter how many prometh i take but I'm not the slightest bit sleepy now. I'm ****ing exhausted but I don't want to sleep. It's ok sort time, like 3 nights or something, but long term it drives me completely mad and affect everything else.
It's been the holidays so it doesn't matter if I'm not up in the morn but lectures start soon and I have to be awake at 9, what the hell am i going to do? Argh I hate this. it wastes so much of my time. I can't imagine doctors would do anything or even care, anyone got any ideas?
Sorry for a completely pointless post. x
