It's getting really bad and taking a toll on me physically (mentally I'm doing well, thankfully).
I drink so much caffeine to cope but I am guessing that's just messing me up more later.
I take melatonin but I don't think it's working anymore. Benadryl makes me depressed the next day for some reason? CBD doesn't really work. A hot shower doesn't help. I have a weighted blanket 🧩 and weighted eye mask.
I am thinking of doing CBT for insomnia (really strict rules around sleep hygiene) but am scared bc it does involve a bit of sleep deprivation while adjusting (no naps allowed). I haven't been exercising much lately but maybe that will help.
Does anyone have any advice? Or something that will help me fall asleep tonight? :/ 100dc for each real suggestion.
Edit: wtf

For me it wears off the next afternoon and I constantly have extreme guilt and intrusive thoughts about suicide even though I know I haven't actually done anything wrong. It's an interesting experience.
If you take any prescription drugs for insomnia make sure, I cannot stress this enough, to keep lots of written notes and have trusted friends around you at night. These drugs often will put you in a state where you're between asleep and awake and have no memory. It can begin months after you start taking it. If you don't remember that time then anyone can claim you did anything or do anything to you and you will be presumed guilty.

I used to go online shopping on Ambien. I bought a watch from Sweden. Only found out when my bank called the next day to make sure it was me.

At least with Ambien it's a meme. Wilh any other drug everyone just assumes you're lying.
Joke's on them tho, you can't get blood out of a turnip or a radish or whatever the proverbial root crop is.
