I've been in tx for DID for about 8 months officially. Unofficially my T was easing me into it, a year and an half ago. I have had insomnia problems since childhood, and it has been very severe in the last 10-15 years. My first big hope after getting my dx was that this was what was going to cure my insomnia.

NO luck so far. And, yes, there were issues in my abuse that would cause sleep problems today. So far, covering those things in therapy hasn't helped.

I've researched like crazy on supplements that help you sleep - I have to take 40 pills and capsules per night to get slight effectivness. I won't go into drugs here because I don't know if it's allowed on this site, but if it is I wouldn't mind hearing what worked for ya'll, for sure.

I tried a night time ritual with my alters that helped a bit, but still required sleep aids.

Do any of you other DIDers have severe long term ongoing insomnia, and if so, what has helped you? I am seeing a doctor on Thursday, and I am dreading trying to find another drug to help. I would rather be drug free. Crystal Lady

I just want to be able to sleep at night and not be sluggish all day long.
