Hello! New Here
Hello everyone. I need guidance, a friend, and support. Yet another sleepless night. My up and down moods have been overwhelming me all my life. At the current moment my stress level is 100. I am dealing with issues at home, work, and school. I don't know what to do or how to manage anymore. I have not slept all night in 3 weeks. 😢😢
Why do I feel like I am constantly trying to prove myself to everyone. Then I end up making a worse impression or getting hurt in the process. What's wrong with?

Hey I'm Lauren and welcome to 7cups!
I hope you get a good nights rest ASAP, I suffer from insomnia so I totally understand how awful it must be, I'm always open to listening to your concerns, let me know!
@IronicSarcasm Thank you so much Lauren. Right now I am just overwhelmed and it'd effecting everything in my life. I am not doing well in school for the first time and I just made a bad impression at work by trying to hard and screwing everything up. My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years and the relationship is barely hanging on. We just started counseling but I don't know if it's going to work. We both have to put in effort and change but I don't think that's going to happen on his part. So no sleep since the beginning of this month.

If it doesn't work, consider herbal medications but I wouldn't recommend sleeping pills because they are addictive and stop working.
I wish you all the best xxxxxxx
@IronicSarcasm I will definitely check out the sites you suggested. No I have not de- cluttered my sleep area. I will look into how to do that as well. Thank you for the kind words and advice. I hope to figure everything out soon.
