Just not sleeping

[[Pr...]]

Since cold t off of the k I was on for 5 years my sleep isn't coming back and infact the week before my period (what I'm experiencing now) I pretty much don't sleep at all. 0-4 hours for 8 days total. Mostly 0-3 hours with one night of 4 hours in there. I'm about to give up. The hormones just make females have this who cold t so much worse. I usually crash by now and sleep regardless of what my head is thinking. I'm also struggling with intrusive thoughts bad and paranoia bad since I cold t. It's just not letting up for me at all. Tired of this hell.

Prolove,

Am with you about the hormones. I used to get so tired during PMS/period week and it doesn't change anything now. You are not alone. And keep posting, keep us informed, don't give up! I don't know what you mean by give up, but don't give up.

I am with you.  Even when I do get some sleep which has been crap since last weekend, I feel like I am breathing through a straw.  This lasts all day and even at night. I feel like giving up too.  This seems permanent!

my record of no sleep is 5 days straight a few weeks back. I went 3 days straight the first time, then 3 days straight 2 other times since Nov. Now I'm sleeping but it's still only about 3hrs a night. Waking up with headaches every morning. I also walk with a cane due to unbalance issues.

It only seems permanent. Like a miserable airplane ride or an extra long stint in a dentist chair, it will eventually end.

PMS makes everything worse. My resolve is so crap at that time. I think my whole life would have been easier without monthly rubbish. CAnt wait until it is over.
