Sleepiness or Insomnia with depression.

...See more I don't know if you guys have noticed with being depressed. Sometimes you just don't sleep or you sleep too much. I think the best thing to think about is what you're doing before you fall asleep. Sleep is a hard thing to master. Sometimes with depression. I listen to soothing music or I listen to a podcast before falling asleep. Sometimes I drink chamomile tea. I think also going to bed at a decent time can help. Also, if you're sleeping too much during the day, try not to beat yourself up over it. Especially while talking to your therapist. I guess if you're used to holding stuff in talking about things might make you very tired. My friend explained that to me when I was concerned about how much I was sleeping. It could just be a part of the healing process but also maybe if you're worried, just try to find activities to do during the day so you're not sleeping. Also with the insomnia when I wasn't able to sleep, I also tried not to get upset with myself and tried to look for solutions. Melatonin wasn't for me, but who knows. It could work for someone else. I just hope that eventually those who understand will eventually get the proper sleep that they need. Everyone's healing at a different pace. It's okay not to be able to have everything together 24/7.

...See more I have been struggling with manic depression for awhile now and I'm trying to find an affordable health insurance in my area so I can see a doctor and then see a psychiatrist. I got cut off from my insurance because I make a little bit more over the limit when it comes to money. I just wish they would have told my husband and I we were being cut off. I know each government has their issues and I guess empathy is one of them. This place does help but I know a psychiatrist might be in my future because PTSD isn't exactly the nicest either. I know everyone has problems but I don't like feeling sorry for myself because of past abusive situations. I have to remind myself what happened wasn't my fault until I eventually believe that it was true. I'm grateful to be here to exist I understand that I'm stronger for getting help. I'm learning it's okay to ask for help I don't have to be hyper independent. There are good people out there. 🕊️

PTSD/CPTSD

...See more My PTSD has been bad but never as bad as it is now. I'm worried I might have CPTSD because a lot of the symptoms are there and I am not self diagnosing either. I would have to talk to a doctor I trust and then find a psychiatrist I can trust to help me as well. A lot of therapists I've been through says that they don't have a lot of experience with severe trauma some therapists switched practice or straight up said I can't help you. You need a psychiatrist. I know I do money is tight right now but when I can afford it I'll go there.
