I Have Insomnia
People keep throwing out the word insomnia left and right without 1. being properly diagnosed with and 2. knowing really what true insomnia is like. So I feel like I should share my own personal experience with insomnia.
Ever since I was young I've always had trouble sleeping. As I got older it got to the point where I'd go days without sleeping and end up getting really sick from it. The longer I've gone without sleep is 92 hours straight in which I slept maybe two hours before being up for another 39 hours.
Because I seldom sleep I am extremely paranoid and m lack of sleep causes me to hallucinate.
I don't choose to stay up all the time. If I could sleep I would.
I'm on medication for my insomnia, but even then sometimes it doesn't work.
Insomnia is not glamorous and it's not the same as staying up all night on the computer and then sleeping all day.
It's a serious problem with serious side effects.
