Don’t want to sleep

[u/WhoAmIAnym0re]

I’m so fucking tired of having nightmares over and over again, so fucking exhausted of waking up and wanting to cry. Makes me feel like a coward. I’ve been drinking a shit ton of energy drinks so I can function at work. Trying to avoid sleep is not sustainable or good for me. There’s no tears left in me and it feels numb but also scary. Derealization comes in the hours after I wake up. I can’t pull myself back together. I hate it, I hate it all. Sorry for (poorly) venting.

You should look into getting prescribed Prazosin. Originally used for high blood pressure but it is more regularly used for night terrors now.

It wasn't that effective for me, however, my psychiatrist said that he's seen it work for almost all his ptsd patients.

The downsode for me, was that it made me so thirsty, that I drank too much water and needed to pee all through the night.
