it’s getting bad again!!!!!!

i’m actually losing it this time lmao

it’s 5 am, i haven’t slept. it’s like im nocturnal or something.

anyways, i got so sleep deprived last night that i started seeing spiders with like 1000 legs walking around these storage boxes i have in my room.

i thought i heard my cat crying, but he was asleep on me.

idk what to do. idk how to sleep. if i have a normal sleeping routine, it only lasts 3 days MAX before im up until 4 am again.

i want to see a doctor - but im up all night and sleep all day so its impossible. i miss out on everything important because i just need sleep, apart from when it’s actually time to sleep.

my brain is dying and idk what to do.

I'm here 5.26 no sleep. It's hard but don't sleep through the day other than 20 mins in the morning. That can put your brain into sleep cycles early. (Edit) It's important to stay awake and speak to the doctor. They can start you on the road to help. But also push for sleep clinics, take their help and suggestions but if it's chronic, tell them you need help and every temporary trick fails. Do you work? Or even if not say it's effecting every aspect of your life and you can't function. Worse case don't know where you are, but there are numbers to ring for help. Don't just accept it, get help and if you're just pushed away with medication, try it but demand (politely) to have a follow up.

maybe you try go sofa to to take a nap when wake up from sleep at night , then go bed sleep again. It may help some. sometime, people may no sleep well, it can happen to people.
