i've had suggestions from diet to exercise and then some, while i try my best to adhere to these things it's hard when i just kinda pass out during the day trying to assimilate 😂 i think there's an element to my sleep issues that may be a bit more uncommon and i'm desperate to figure out wtf it is

is CBD oil anything similar that you've noticed? i've tried it and it worked amazingly...once. lmao, maybe twice. the next several times i used it (and i upped the doses a lot) it actually made me stressed so i stopped :(

when i can actually be at my computer it's nice to see such beautiful art all over my TL. i find i gravitate more here than the hellsite bc everything in the world just keeps getting worse every time i blink. maybe that stress doesn't help my sleep either lmao. g2g for now, i love y'all ❤️

which, given how many people get addicted to RX sleep meds, i'm legit terrified of it lmao. but- i need sleep and if i can force my muscles to stop holding onto so much damn pain and STRESS hormones- i think i'll at least have a routine again that resembles a diurnal cycle 😂

like when i tell you i almost crashed out seeing my last message sent in my server being a month ago i started crying 😭 i'm tired of being tired and every intervention i've tried (that i have access to) hasn't helped longer than one week. so last few ditch efforts when i can are sleep clinic and RX

so now, outside of a bunch of other suspicions for my sleep issues- i can attack this angle of tight muscles, high cortisol, and a better sleep routine/sleep hygiene. i'm really...really tired, i'm burnt tf out on everything from taking care of myself to remembering the date

it's some wild thing that helps soldiers with their high stress responses in the field, and got me to realize my body is on go mode 24/7 and that my response to this technique was similar to an involuntary response i had a month or two ago. that scared tf out of me, but doing it controlled was okay

i feel like every fiber of my brain is unraveling at the damn seams with how little i've been sleeping. found a few interventions that'll relax me mentally/physically before i try to sleep. it's weird to get all of your muscles to just...fwoosh- i've never experienced it before but it's cozy af

little by little rebuilding my routine so i can actually finish things, and possibly create on some kind of schedule again, days are a blur, dates are a blur, i blink and suddenly a week passes because my issues are lagging my brain something fierce. anyway- going to overhaul my art folders

it should be illegal for the body to crash from fatigue so much and yet still never feel rested from the crash. i got like 5 hours or so last night so i hope to use that to my advantage today despite no caffeine lol

trying hard to move and get sun and walk despite having such poor sleep- also cutting back on coffee because my heart palpitations were getting weird again in combo with everything else. i'm so sorry for the silence- i'm just so. damn. tired!!!!

i have a small amount of a sleep aid left with valerian root but taking the full dose makes me insanely groggy the next day- i'll see how i can modify it and search for valerian by itself in the mean while. thank you!!!

i am so very sorry for the radio silence on all fronts, i'm legit struggling to do daily crap and i'm functional for maybe a few hours a day if i have enough caffeine (after a long caffeine hiatus so this sucks)- just a tired egg trying to solve their silly body problems. love y'all, be well 💕

got so little sleep this last week i'm marveling at how i'm still alive lmfao. i have a few more last ditch attempts to aid my ability to sleep which i think will help some of my other chronic health issues (insomnia being sporadically one of them) before i lose it :'D wish me luck

if anyone wants to give me a spare brain and stomach i'd be eternally grateful 😂😂😂 i'm very tired of being tied to my bed, and not being able to know wtf i'm able to keep down food wise, and also having restless/no sleep. i'm a walking husk and i can't focus on much. it's improved, but not much.
