INSOMNIA!!! Horrifying insomnia .....

[8whitetoes]

Anyone else ??? W/insomnia this bad ...

I have been suffering the worst insomnia . I sleep an average of 3-4 hours for every 3 days .... I have went OVER 2 weeks without sleep ... (The longest time I get of sleep has been 4-5 hrs, that's only once in awhile. The length of the *crash*)

The only thing I have found that helps is Xanax ... My PCP , a psychiatrist, psychologist, my GYN , the GI Drs. Have all refused to write the med for me ... they will Not even write a sleep med like Ambien. I have tried EVERYTHING over the counter , including CBD , medical MJ, w/no luck... I'm alergic to all antihistamines (very alergic) ...

Too make it WORSE....

I was diagnosed with stage 3 invasive breast cancer , in January . I'm waiting for approval for ASAP mastectomy .....

And just 10 days ago, my 24yr niece was brutally murdered .... my anexity is out the roof , panic attacks ... I can't find help here in the USA ...

Thanks for reading

Sounds awful. I suffer from terrible insomnia, have done since I was a child. There's no particular thing that helps me, but trying some alternatives might help. Magnesium tablets can be helpful, and do they provide treatments at your local cancer centre such as massage and reiki, it might be worth enquiring. Also counselling to help you through such an awful time.

I am not surprised you can't sleep with all you have going on. So sorry go hear of your troubles

I never get a good night's sleep. 3 to 4 hours at the most. I have tried to stop worrying about it and accepted it as my new normal. I tell myself that even though I am not as keep I am in bed and y body is resting
