So, I know sleep's really important to managing bp but whether it'd be hypomania or depression, I don't sleep much. It has nothing to do with a "lack of desire". I have PTSD but I don't just have flashbacks while I'm asleep; when it's not that, I can't stop having persistent nightmares. Then I wake up in a panic attack and can't go back to sleep for hours. Lately (this isn't an all the time thing), I've also been having hallucinations once the panic attack is under control. After that, the paranoia usually kicks in and it takes me a while to convince myself that I'm safe.
I can't sleep and it's killing me because I want to stabilize but I don't think I can like this. I'll be bringing this up with my T on Monday. What should I do? Is there a med that works or some kind of ritual I haven't tried (I've tried many different ones to no avail)?
