I've struggled with sleep since I had my son 19 yrs ago. I've been on some kind of sleep med. 4 yrs ago I went into a a psychosis. Didn't sleep or eat for 5 days and was in a really bad trauma related psychosis. Completely lost touch with reality.

Took a whole bunch of tests in the hospital and it came out bp I w/psychosis and PTSD. Since then I haven't been the same.

Last time I was in the hospital they think part of my sleep problem is related to sleep apnea. So long story short I finally got my cpap machine. Wearing the mask is really uncomfortable. I tried 2 nights and just couldn't take it anymore and last night slept without it. Finally got some good sleep.

I also take 3 meds for sleep and if I don't get good sleep on those I'm just exhausted.

So how many of you struggle with sleep? Do you find without it your symptoms get worse? I feel so much better today...breath of fresh air...
