I've been going through another episode of sleeplessness lately. Just like it had before, it has serious detrimental effects on my overall wellbeing. I'm less trusting of others, more inclined to shirk social situations, more sensitive to antisocial behaviors in others. I struggle with telling cause from effect, because these things literally stress me out even more, exacerbating the sleep problem. I just _feel_ the sleep deprivation eating away at my general health.

I'm getting the best possible treatment (standard of care) which is cognitive behavioral therapy, but man, is it a slow process to recovery.

Have you considered talking to your dr about a little sleeping pill or mirtazipine?

I had a serious episode of ptsd after a natural catastrophe and I couldn't shut both eyes for months. Meds became a life saver.

Sleep. It's underrated.

Can you sleep without the pills now? That’s my worry

Mirtazapine ended up giving me blurred vision
