Insomnia

Arggh. I hate insomnia. I used to think that it was all me that I couldn't go to sleep when I was supposed to. It is but it isn't.

ADHD doesn't make it easy to get to sleep. While I do play games after I have given up trying to sleep. But now, I'm thinking that I should take the advice of an old friend. I should get up and do something.

I found a couple people that I decided to follow on Facebook. One is a ADHD guy that gives out business advice to young people. I found a couple Reels where he talks about his ADHD. He was diagnosed early (earlier than me) at 11yo. He got on Ritalin but not me. So far my meds don't work on me tho I don't take it regularly. I did find that my diet does influence me.

Back to not sleeping, I was taking Trazodone 50mg and was splitting the pill when I decided to quit them. I have rebound insomnia since I've taken it for over 3 years, mostly on. They are not supposed to be addictive but we know that anything can be habit forming. I decided to quit because I want to get off taking medications. I gotten them off before and it was months, almost a year. Until I had a setback.

I don't recommend anyone to go off their meds without doctor approval/supervision.

Perhaps this might help someone. IF you can't sleep or remain sleeping, get up and do something. Anyone can do anything for 15 minutes. I don't recommend to do anything loud or outside if it's dark or might be intrusive to your neighbor or co-habitors (unless you know that the sound won't wake them up). My hubby says he can sleep on a meat hook. I still keep it low.

Yes, I believe I'm on the upswing. Or at least higher than being depressed.

Have a good night!!🌛
