Please call 800.273.8255.
Let’s talk! Shoot me a ping or something and we can connect over the phone my man
Same as above. dm if you want. But sleep is key.
I left work at 6 today and for a moment I wanted to walk into the traffic in Manhattan. Had 3-hour sleep and now I feel better
Dunno how you manage to stay awake with 3*36 Concerta, methylphenidate limits the recapture of dopamine but doesn't increase production; I always fucking fall asleep on it. Don't forget to drink water
Let me know if you want to chat mate
Dm me please. I’ll give you my cell and we can talk and maybe meet in the park if you’re in NYC
NO OP DON'T DO THAT I BEG YOU
Yup, don’t do that !!
OP. You will only become more troubled if you meet this man.

If you want to PM me please feel free to, I’m trained for crisis hotlines so never hesitate to reach out. Also have struggled with many substances and concerta happens to be one of the ones that gave me the worst side effects.
Make an appointment with your psychiatrist. When I have insomnia I take 20mg of Olanzapine and it knocks me the fuck out. You may be prescribed Trazodone alternatively depending on your case.
For over the counter pills, you could probably take 50mg to 100mg of diphenhydramine, but when I have serious insomnia I have taken 800mg of diphenhydramine and it doesn’t do shit. The Olanzapine really helps me with insomnia, but you’ll probably fall asleep for 12-14hrs so clear your schedule.
diphenhydramine - careful with that, my man. I also used this for sleep but there has been some very good research in recent years that it can also lead to dementia and Alzheimer's in your later years.
Yeah I don’t take that stuff anymore. I take benzodiazepines though which some say increase the risk of Alzheimer’s. But, I’m not too worried about getting Alzheimer’s.
I have been plagued by a mind which remembers everything. Thoughts from years ago and also I am a super recognizer, so typically remember every face I have ever seen. Memories are great, but I am also plagued by them. In my current state, I am still capable of mortal sin and the fate of my eternity rests in the balance.
If I got Alzheimer’s, it would basically be the end of my spiritual responsibility as I would no longer be capable of mortal sin. I would no longer be plagued by my memories so I would be free in a sense.
Definitely not the move lol goddamn
when I have insomnia I try to go for a long bike ride and a sauna the following day. cycling a 30-40 mile cycle seems daunting but you will feel great after it.
30-40mi isn’t that much - that’s only 90-120min
I love all the hate on this, but in the cycling world, 30 - 40mi is not a ‘long bike ride’. Maybe you could call it a good workout, but a ‘long’ ride probably starts at a metric century at 62mi.
That’s cool you cycle though - cheers. 🍻
Hope everything gets better for you, always remember if things get really low there are helplines and also ER if you need to talk to someone urgently. Much better to seek help than to do something you’ll regret.
Hey man, sorry to hear that, sleeplessness is really fucking horrible. Wishing you only the best - and fuck work, there´s more to life. Hug your mom when you meet her.
Update? OP?
Bruh tell your boss you need to get some rest because you can’t operate like this right now
Yeah agree with this. Take the weekend to recharge and spend time with your family. Not worth sacrificing your mental health for this job, especially for someone like yourself who's brave enough to admit you're not feeling healthy and right. Take care
As a fellow insomniac I empathize. What's at the root? Is it an ongoing problem (like mine) or caused by some event / situation?
What is your ongoing problem?
Cocaine. Does that count as insomnia?
hi all, OP here. Thanks so much for all the kind responses and offers to help. I passed out a while after posting this. Had a really long sleep over the weekend. VP on a deal emailed me on sunday morning with some stuff to do and started with "didn't want to disturb your saturday" so that was really well appreciated.
At this point i'm not sure if i overreacted, but shit gets tough sometimes. i'm really heartened by the support that was shown and i think this is what ultimately makes WSO a great place - people in the same spot all over the world willing to help each other
Thanks all and i hope the rest of the year goes nice and well for all of us!
Geat to hear man.
Glad you didn't message/call Drumpfy either. You dodged a bullet.
No need to apologize for "overreacting" --- there's no such thing as overreacting. Your life and your feelings are important and as valid as everyone else's around you. You're just getting in touch with your honest emotions and that's actually a sign of healing. It's a humongous step just to ask for help, a lot of men in particular are too proud to even make it to that step, which can end in disaster.
