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

Do you have those stupid blue rope lights around your windows all the zoomers use because muh tiktok?
Get rid of them. Blue lights (including purple) frick with your brain.
On a bad one I've just focused on my breathing. The only thoughts allowed are "breathe in" and "breathe out". Resist the temptation to think about boys or makeup or whatever it is girls think about.
