Last night I got maybe 1-2 hours of sleep. This has been my reality for about 1 week now. I need someone to help talk me off the ledge, every time I lay down for bed I remember the night of laying awake tossing and turning and heart pounding and it keeps me up until 3-4am.

I’ve tried melatonin, meditation, relaxation. I really feel like I need to go back on meds but that is not an option in my life. I’m so sleep deprived and the sleep deprivation is causing more insomnia and day time panic. I feel like I’m going down a hole that I can’t climb out of, and my body is feeling the effects of sleep deprivation heavily.

Antihistamines no longer work.

Melatonin doesn’t work 

I lay in bed with that sinking chest feeling every time I realize I’m not asleep. I really need a hug, and some encouraging words, maybe personal stories. I need to break the cycle and it’s seriously wearing me and my parents out. I’m 16 and my mom had to sleep with me last night in order for me to get 2 sound hours of sleep. I can’t keep doing this. Please I am so scared
