i have tried for so long to get through this life being a nice guy. i have always done the best i could to help others out and be a real human being, but people are continuously taking advantage of my good nature and fucking me over. i am at an absolute breaking point.
the last time i had a legitimate nights sleep was over two years ago. i live each day just barely scraping by, and the insomnia has recently gotten so bad i had to take a couple months off my job. im so sad that i cant sleep and i just want to rest peacefully without having to put my consciousness to eternal rest (which i do not wish to do.) all i want to do is get some sleep but it seems impossible now. all im asking is for some advice, anyone living with insomnia-related depression, to tell me how they’ve gotten any form of relief from these terrible ailments. i have been prescribed ambien, kolonopin, lorazepam, melatonin supplements, and now i’m on lunesta (although NONE have even remotely alleviated my symptoms). preferably, i’d be entirely drug free and sleeping and happy, however i know the likelihood of such a momentous occurrence is quite minimal.
if anybody reads this, send help however you can so maybe i can acquire some new coping mechanisms that aren’t chemical…

Try doing as much physical activity as you can possibly manage in the day. Run until your legs burn, take a break doing sit-ups, and then run again. By the time the day is over, the physical exhaustion and need for sleep will negate any emotional/depressional issues that formerly prevented you from doing so.
Or, considering insomnia is a result of depression and not the other way around, you could try getting help for the depression instead. Medication or otherwise…
Meds create dependence. He’ll have to go through withdrawal to counter their influence. But if he’s determined, nothing is impossible.
More klonopin and a shot or two will do it.
