Sleep deprived paranoia

Diagnosed Sz or Sza

I’m so so tired. I’m too tired to sleep. I’m having horrible paranoia that someone is in my kitchen. I keep getting up to check and there’s no one there. Over and over. Voices are getting louder and more clear than they’ve been in years. I’m trying my best just to cope but it’s getting to be too much.

Youve been under a lot of stress lately. Writing book, short on cash, losing job, exam, lawsuit… I think this is just a flare up not a new normal.

When you cant sleep forget about it, and just lie in bed and rest in every way you can. Maybe some soft music in the background. You will fall asleep eventually.

You dont need to. Lie in the dark. Your eyes will close naturally.

I’m sorry you feel like that

@Schizbro gave a good idea

You could try to listen to a meditation or ASMR too

Hopefully you’ll feel better soon and will be able to fall asleep soon

Thanks guys. I am feeling more hopeful for tonight. I finally feel awake and my vision is more clear. It’s almost 3pm and I feel like I am finally functioning.
