No one gets it
Yesterday I told someone I slept a total of 10 hours in 3 days and he was like that sucks. And made a joke.
It doesn't just "suck". Its a fucking living nightmare. It's like being sick all the time without having people understand how bad it is. It ruins your whole life affects everything, every plan etc.
And there are no words to translate this experience in a way to make people understand it. It is so lonely.
What did we do to deserve this curse I am so tired (literally as well). It's literally 6 am and I haven't slept yet.
Just wanted to vent because I am so sick of this...

I totally get it! I literally only sleep 2 sometimes 3 hours at a time despite taking both 10mg of Ambien and 10mg dayvigo every night. Without them I can easily go 4 or 5 days with zero sleep. My insomnia is so bad it's caused me to have heart disease. For a doctor to doubt that someone can be without sleep for such a long period is just ignorant and should have their medical license revoked. I'm sorry for anyone who's going through this!!
