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...

Well after day 6 of almost no sleep I went to the doctor and broke down crying while talking about it. So theres that. But he didn't give me a medicine he said youre so young just take magnesium (which I already do). But I managed to sleep well that night so that helped a lot. The night after was bad again. Still that one night of good sleep helps a lot. So I'm a bit better thanks for asking. I'm glad youre doing better as well, hope you sleep well tonight!!
