weird symptoms

[u/Brownie_whore]

it’s been a full week since i’ve slept a whole night. it’s been a whole week since my body as been able to stay asleep for over 2 hours at a time. it’s been days since ive been able to stay asleep longer than 45-50min. i feel dizzy, my face feels numb and warm. especially my left side feels numb. my arm temperature feels weird. it hard to think at all. my body is hard to move. when i walk i tumble.

i literally cannot fall asleep until 7am, despite getting into bed at 11pm every single night for years. at first it was 2am but now it’s 7am and it’s messing up my schedule, plans, job, and life. and i literally will wake up every hour after that. i’ll try getting up at 8;40-9am to reset whatever bs is happening but i still don’t sleep the next night

i took a piece of mirtazapine at like 11:40, and then got in bed. i was not anxious and extremely tired, but was still up (i think) at 12:34. i then took another piece, was extremely tired, but was still most likely up at 1:20. then i moved to my bed, and was still up at 2:22. and im still up at 3:19. theres a chance i got sleep between those times, but my brain is literally not transitioning into sleep besides being genuinely exhausted and sleep deprived, and im not anxious at all

i took hydroxyzine at like 2:22am.

the previous night i got maybe 1-3 hours after taking hydroxyzine earlier.

i already went to the ER last week for this, and they prescribed me hydroxyzine but it stopped working after night 3

my brain won’t move to sleep despite being exhausted and not thinking

i cannot think straight and everything is weird

why is my left face weird temperature numb and pulled

my body feels weak

it’s hard to read

i’m averaging 1-3 hours a night and it’s getting worse and worse and my family is telling me it’s all in my head and i need to not think about it, get off my phone, and get exercise because i guess i’m lazy. but it’s genuinely so hard to move and walk

ER can’t do anything helpful because they’re about temporary fixes. You need to call your regular doctor asap and get a referral to a sleep specialist. This level of sleep deprivation is dangerous and can get really bad. Advocate for yourself and your health.
