Just checking in on you
. I hope you got the help you need. We're here if you want to share any updates. -Melissa, team member thank you for you empathetic response, my gp keeps dismissing me and i keep fainting from i assume sleep deprivation and my doctors arent listening to me. they keep telling me its all in my head and i need to 'stop looking at screens' i stop looking at any technology at 6 and im shutting off all light and still cant sleep. i got an appointment for the end of june which just seems too far away Hi
. When you aren't sleeping, a few weeks can seem like an eternity. Is your appoinment with a sleep specialist? It seems like you would really benefit from a sleep study, preferably performed by a doctor with a background in neurology. The good news is that the tests don't lie. Your GP will not be able to deny your condition if your test results show that you are not sleeping. Know that we're here for you -- whether you need support or a place to vent -- as you try to get through these next weeks. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
Hi
. No sleep for a week is not good at all. It can lead to serious mental and physical health issues. We are not medical experts, so there isn't much we can do, but I suggest contacting your doctor immediately and letting your doctor know how serious your sleep deprivation is. Maybe ask for a temporary prescription for something that will help you sleep for these next couple days so that you can reset your sleep cycle. Lack of sleep for long periods of time can lead to psychosis, which can be mistaken for mental illness. It can be hard to convince first responders and ER personal that sleep is the root of the problem. You don't want to be in that position. Better to address it now rather than later. Please keep us posted if you don't mind. I'll be thinking of you. Lori (Team Member)
