It feels like i am awake all night. But i am asleep

Hi im 24 years i just started having insomnia. Its benn 1 and half months now. Everyday i always feel like i was awake the whole night. Its frustrates me. Some nights i sleep. Like i can tell i sleep but this is rare. I have been exhausting myself to work. Getting sunlight. Eating right i even fully stop taking coffee. Nothings working. I already consulted a psychiatrist about it. She only gave me sleeping pills. I know i cant taje sleeping pills for a long time cause it has side effects. And i get anxious while taking sleeping pills. I always feel like i will do need pills for the rest of my life. I am concerned about my health. I could feel the impact of not having enough sleep. I couldnt function at my best. Also if there is someone who needs a friend please DM me we could talk. Hope we get through this.

  1. I'm beyond scared tbh and really could use people to talk to. So yes please

      1. I think that I was around your age when my insomnia hit!? I have tried different things but zanax was the only thing that helped me to sleep. Nowadays because of the drug abuse that's not available anymore so again I don't sleep well at night plus I am afraid what it can do, the side-effects, etcs. I am 73 now and I also suffer with depression and anxiety and that messes with my sleep, especially the anxiety. So now what!???

        1. also try putting ice pack in your head before sleeping. It will calm you and helps with sleep too.

        2. you can DM me too if you need someone to talk.
