I just can't sleep

Been an insomniac all my life it's so bad that I'll go a week at a time without sleep partly because I suffer from night terrors in my sleep as well and what's worse I've isolophobia so I've got to keep my mind occupied otherwise I go into a panic attack and I just dont know how to cope anymore... meds dont work ive seen every movie I own a thousand times I'm out of games no one's ever up this late the only thing that seems to help at all is my music and even that doesn't always work, please if anyone has any ideas I'm just at the end of my rope

Hey there,

Insomnia sucks, huh? I take it since you've tried all kinds of medications that you've seen your GP about this issue. Has he/she recommended a sleep study, or perhaps seeing some sort of sleep specialist? Maybe a full blood work up is necessary too, as medical issues can also cause insomnia.

No, there's been no talk of sleep studies or anything like that and s blood work up either. The big issue is I'm not sure I want to sleep, I hate sleeping it honest to God scares me

That's not terribly uncommon. Do you know what makes you afraid to fall asleep, or is it just a generalized fear?

It's night terrors mostly like I'm stuck in my worst fears, sleep drains me I dont have more energy after I have less, the less I sleep the more energy and the better I feel.
