Mine is not sleep but perpetual depression and anxiety. I will be in meds the rest of my life. I have tried to go off them for a year, maybe two. I am always back in that chair. There is often no direct cause for an onset of depression - it’s a physical feeling in my body and brain. I can only call it a physical depression. Moods dip, stress makes it worse, nightmares, fatigue, to name a few. I am balanced now, on a good blend of meds now. The psychiatrist says I should never go off them, given my situation. Blessings to you for sharing. These things need to be talked about.

Erica, solidarity--right there with you. <3 I have had depression but now moreso an anxiety that feeds into the sleep anxiety and insomnia.
