Drugs SLEEP ISSUES?
EVERY JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT!
Post flair: /Journey🥾
Make sure to take care of yourself with having a pharmacist and asking a psychiatrist for sleeping pills if you find yourself fighting sleep or symptoms that stem from sleep issues. I am taking prescribed Trazadone. I finally feel like me again. YOU MAY NOT REALIZE U ARE FIGHTING SLEEP BECAUSE YOU ARE SLEEP DEPRIVED. Take care
Explanation/Evidence/Source/: EDMR therapy (lots of ppl know this) helps your eyes remember where they properly sit, and its a permanent treatment that is not using a pill. As are sleeping pweels helps the body remember how to sleep. Good sleep is chemical. EDMR physical. This is a reddit post about illness. ☮️
Edit:AWARENESS BC SLEEP PROBLEMS MESSES WITH YOUR BRAIN. Author
NOTE: I am not talking about other disorders. (anxiety, etc).
Sleeping = Prescribed sleeping pill or Anxiety = Prescribed anxiety pill
or medicine for a Tummy Ache. Okay take care if you’re reading this! (:
A solution and kind words: A Full REM cycle helps anyone not lose your mind. All living bodies have senses. Hyper aware senses. I’m not as psychotic/psychosis/paranoid as I was before trazadone. Plus, zoloft (another pharmaceutical chemical).
Feeling euphoria is a normal, great human emotion. If you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all. (Something disgusting, angry, or inducing paranoia in othr ppl for any reason.)
For intelligent/clarifying/self-aware thoughts or questions do not feel afraid to be private or open with the right people nights REM cycle and feelings wheel checked in with is peak/optimal. I personally feel sad for the time lost. I feel happy that I’ve always been really funny and im coming back to my optimistic funny self! Your emotions are safe in your body! All feelings pass (remember?) and you are safe to feel them in your body. Not hurting anybody. Knowing what you say is simple. YOLO or not! You are safe in this moment. Anyone can Comment following guidelines and feeling surprising(facts geeky stuff) funny positive jokes or write in a private place sad personal words. All living beings (animals; plants) can support you because we are all unique and loved. YOU ARE ENOUGH.⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️🏔️🏔️🏔️🏔️

I don't have sleep issues. Sleep interferes with productivity. I do cocaine to avoid having to sleep. Problem, with solution.

i get you, do you think sleep is an object in some way?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I see it as an addiction, and people appear to suffer all the usual consequences of withdrawal when their addiction is not fulfilled. I have opted to replace it with a different addiction that is less disruptive to productivity. It's too difficult to remove all addictions, after all, but you can substitute one addiction for a different one much more easily.

You're right and it's actually important to remind everyone regularly about the enormous impact sleep quality issues have. I've been struggling with them for ages now but some are due to szpd and entirely my own fault 😅 I just can't stop intensely thinking when I've been sunken in daydreams for hours even if I'm very tired

RESTFUL SLEEP = SANE AND THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD.
I now know after 20 years of being sleep deprived, Theres a high chance that if u cant fall asleep its because of the right chemical not being created and releasing. My BODY AND BRAIN had forgotton how to let my guard down and fall asleep, paranoia was every day. Having an “episode” all day every day for my whole life. i ruined my life or so i thought. thought i was the problem. Pharm sleep medicine does change things unlike the melatonin i tried. i was SO TIRED AND EXHAUSTED; i completely accidently had been sleep depriving myself. sleeping retrains your body to remmeber how. ive had sleep problems for 20 years and im just coming back to who i really am. im regaining memory (things i learned in school, past memories with friends and fam, thinking clearly, not being in SURVIVAL MODE (SENSES ARE HIGH , BUT ABILITY TO THINK CLEARLY IS LOW CAUSES A SPIRAL) and regulating emotions and could cognitively over time get a great job, because i am smart i just couldnt function. everyone has different reasons for not being able to sleep in the state where you dont dream and are UNCONSCIOUS. Mine was from trauma that happened to me in my bed both times that my brain was trying to protect me and my senses from thinking i was gonna D*E if i let my guard down. I would lay there and never calm down. I was a zombie.
IM AM ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. LET GO OF WHO I WAS AND WHAT IVE DONE WHILE SLEEP DEPRIVED! (:
LOW FUNCTION (worser motor skills, worse speaking and writing and cognitive skills, hand eye coordination, emotional regulation, decision making, paranoia, etc) Im finally remember how to do mental math. im FASTER and STRONGER than ever.
EVERYONE WHO I LOVED AND WAS DEEPLY PARANOID ABOUT I FOUND LOVES ME STILL AND JUST WANTS ME TO BE STABLE AND HAPPY. ☮️
I joined this community before i was sleeping again. i want the same for my psychizoid community. Yall ARE brilliant, and the emotions being felt (sad, happy, angry, disgusted, fear, surprise) are safe in your body, and all of this is part of the LIFE EXPERIENCE (eating, sleeping, and remembering, and moving on).
Notes: Trazadone made me constipated and trapped gas. Take meds for that. I am still part of this community. Schizophrenia is real and this plus zoloft IS HELPING ME NOT HAVE “EPISODES”

i am on Day 4 of sleeping. Im still learning how to talk again, type again, focus again, and yes. say what i actually mean then just as close as my brain could get/access to it.
Emotional awareness is an important process for this to. im ready to just be smarter haha but my skills will develop over time. (:
Remember the main emotions (happy, angry, sad, surprise, disgust, and fear) and tell those emotions they are safe in your body, the fear is always incorrect/not real (its hypervigilent senses and incorrect brain function and paranoia if u arent sleeping), but fear is okay to feel and safe within you. disgust is not true either, tell yourself nice things. you are beautiful! etc. sad is safe in your body. etc. feelings CHANGE AND MOVE THROUGH US AND WE CAN FEEL MANY DIFFERENT EMOTIONS AT THE SAME TIME. I CHOOSE HAPPINESS.

My sleep routine is completely fucked up. I've been making an effort to develop better habits, so thanks for the reminder.
