Every night, I can only sleep for an hour, and I've been experiencing insomnia for the past five days. What should I do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I have been unable to sleep for the past five days. I can only sleep for an hour every night, even after taking sleeping pills. The doctor gave me some medicine today, saying that if I feel fine mentally, I can sleep for ten hours, but I still can't sleep. I feel numb all over, with only my brain awake. I think I'm still stuck on a phrase he said: "If you want me to spend the rest of my life with you, you'd better be dreaming!"

It's been six months since he said that, and I often can't muster the energy to fight back. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it, but there's nothing I can do. Life is hard, and there's nothing I can do to change it. I just have to keep it inside. I had a heart attack during this period, and I can't sleep. I don't know if I'm still struggling with this sentence, but insomnia is really painful! Can anyone help me?

A contemptuous remark from him, a condescending one, has caused you to suffer from insomnia to this day. Even taking sleeping pills still doesn't help you sleep. This situation may require a hospital diagnosis to see if it is not simply insomnia.

You must understand your current situation. You should change your medication based on your recent anxiety and insomnia. You also need to get more sleep, which is essential for your mental and cognitive development. It will also affect your body and daily affairs.

You should also undergo psychological treatment and counseling. You may still be affected by past events, and this is something you need to address. Who is that person, and why did his words linger in your mind for so long?

It's clear that you feel insulted and despised by the other person. It's impossible for you to be with them. Your crying, helplessness, depression, heart disease, and insomnia are all consuming your mental strength.

You seem to be unsure whether you are just obsessed with that sentence, which is concerning. It is best for a person to understand themselves. Knowing yourself and the other person will lead to victory in every battle. Take a psychological test for potential internal trauma to understand what your inner feelings really are. There may be a relationship there. Undergo long-term psychological counseling to resolve some of your relationship with that person. Best of luck.

Hello.

Something happened recently or a long time ago, but it's still affecting you. Sleeping pills and doctor visits treat symptoms, not the root cause. Your body is numb, but your mind is clear. You may fall asleep, but the quality of sleep may not be good. You may dream or feel heavy, anxious, and depressed.

It's about your emotional blockages. You mentioned your intimate relationship, or some changes in your marriage and family, right?

It's still affecting you because you haven't processed what happened. You may be unwilling, or perhaps you have grievances, pain, and various feelings and emotions that have not been seen and accepted well by yourself.

You need to see a psychiatrist. Your emotions, feelings, thoughts, and needs are blocked, and they need to be released to allow your energy to flow.

You've isolated your emotions, which is a defense mechanism. But it's also imprisonment. We may seem better on the surface, but the problem hasn't been solved. The impact and pain are still great.

Hello, landlord, I really hope my answer can help you in some way.

From what the landlord said, it seems like maybe insomnia isn't the cause but the result. I get the feeling you're feeling pretty sad and heartbroken about the breakup. I'd love to give you a big hug and let you know you're not alone and I'm here for you.

If you want to cry, just let it out. There's no need to hold back your sadness.

It's totally normal to feel this way. Many people misunderstand grief and try to escape it by suppressing their sadness. They want to show others that they're strong and everything is fine. But grief actually has value and a positive meaning.

If you're feeling heartbroken right now, it's totally normal to feel sad.

Sadness is one of the seven emotions that we are born with. It's totally normal to feel a little blue when you're born!

So, you might be wondering, why do people grieve?

In just two words, it's all about loss.

We all know that losing a loved one is a big, sad loss. And losing an object is also a loss. In fact, losing a love affair is a loss too.

It's okay if you're feeling sad because you're losing someone you love. It's not about the person, but about your feelings and good memories.

Grief is that sad feeling we get when something we love is taken away from us.

I'm sure we can all agree that feeling sad is a natural emotion. So, if we don't lose anything, will we still feel sad?

The thing is, we can't avoid losing things. It's just part and parcel of life, like birth, aging, sickness, and death. The important thing is not to avoid losing things, but to deal with grief effectively after losing something.

How can we do this?

First, it's important to accept the sad truth.

Once you accept your grief, you'll be amazed at how many benefits you'll discover!

It can also help us avoid similar situations in the future. For example, after losing something, we'll know how to put things away next time. And when we're sick, we'll know how to take care of ourselves and treasure our health!

It can help us think about our mistakes and become stronger as a result.

Grief is a cry for help. When we grieve, we can attract the attention and sympathy of others, who will protect us and treat us with kindness. Under their protection and care, we can gain temporary safety from others' attacks. And the comfort and persuasion of others will also teach us things we have not learned before.

When we've experienced sorrow, we can truly empathize with those who are going through it. This can help us love others more deeply and connect with them on a more emotional level.

Secondly, it's important to express your grief in moderation.

It's so important to find a healthy balance. If a loved one is ill, it's natural to feel sad. But if we don't take care of ourselves, it can really take a toll on our health. We're not just hurting ourselves, but also our loved ones.

It's so important to take care of ourselves, and that means doing everything in moderation, including "grieving."

When we're in the thick of grief, it can make sad memories seem stronger and happy memories seem weaker.

It's so important to remember that in this world, for every sadness, there is joy. When we grieve too much, we can end up filtering out all the good memories and becoming a bit pessimistic. We can start to focus on the negative aspects of things, which can really disrupt our true focus, which should be on our own health.

So, it's really important that we express our grief in a way that's not too overwhelming, look after our physical and mental health, and make sure we're taking care of ourselves so that we have the energy and ability to take care of others.

And finally, take action!

When we're grieving, it's easy to feel like we're responsible for everything that goes wrong. But this mindset can make it hard to take positive action and move forward.

So, when you're grieving, it's totally normal to feel like you're stuck in a rut. And if you're grieving for a long time, it can feel like the sadness just keeps on coming.

Instead of dwelling on our sadness, it's important to take action. For instance, when we learn that a loved one is sick, it's natural to feel grief. However, it's also crucial to support the other person. If you've just broken up with someone, you might want to try to get them back. But if that's not possible, it's okay to let go, say goodbye, and move on to your new life and new relationship.

It's so important to take action after losing something. If you can find it, it's a great idea to go and get it right away. If you can't find it, there are other ways to deal with your sadness. Do the things you like!

Fourth, do whatever you love!

When we're feeling sad, it can help to remind ourselves that grief is just an emotion. It's okay to feel sad, but it's also important to remember that we have the power to control our emotions.

You have the power to make the choice that's right for you.

If sadness is negative, then the things you normally like to do are positive. So, let's use the positive to combat the negative! I'm sure we'll definitely win!

The human heart is naturally neither good nor evil, neither sad nor happy. When we experience good and evil, sadness and happiness, it's like our heart has lost its balance. Just like a scale, we need to add a force on the other side that is opposite to it to bring it back to center.

Wang Yangming said something really interesting! He said that we all have seven different emotions. If we express them too much, it's excessive. If we express them too little, it's insufficient. A little more than enough is no longer the natural state of the heart. So, we really need to regulate our emotions to make them neutral and peaceful!

If you usually like to read, then you can absolutely do it at this time! It'll help your heart become more neutral and peaceful.

It's only natural for a tree to sway in the wind, but try not to let it sway too hard or you might break some branches or even the tree itself! It's the same with us humans.

So, when you're feeling sad, just follow these four simple steps to help you cope with your sadness and keep your inner peace.

I truly believe that when you deal with your sadness, your insomnia will go away.

Wishing you all the best!

Dear questioner, You have worked hard, and I can imagine that insomnia is a very painful feeling. I empathize with you, and I'm here to help.

In terms of the ingredients in sleeping pills, they may provide short-term relief, but they should not be taken for long periods of time. I know you've been suffering from insomnia for five days now, so I really think you should follow your doctor's advice and also make the necessary psychological adjustments.

First of all, you know in your heart why you can't sleep. "If you want me to live a good life with you, you can just dream about it!"

I know it can be tough when you're not feeling well, and it's hard to know what to do. I'm here to support you, and I want to help you make the best choices for your health. I'm not sure about the language environment or the context of the question, so I'm going to be careful not to over-interpret. I know you're worried about having a heart attack, and I want you to know that your body is the most important thing right now. Everything else can wait, and I'm here to help you take care of yourself.

At the same time, you might find it helpful to try some ways to soothe your mood. Even if you don't have deep sleep, shallow sleep can still help your body rest partially. When you have insomnia, you can let your mind wander and observe your thoughts, rather than rejecting or controlling them. This partial relaxation of the brain can also help you feel more rested later on.

It's also really important to keep up a good, open relationship with your support system, including your family, friends, and even neighbors. It's good to keep up with the social side of things too! But try not to shut yourself in, as this can sometimes make things worse when you're struggling with insomnia.

I really hope you get back to a good night's sleep soon. You're absolutely right, "life is not easy." But if we can change what we can and accept what we can't, that'd be a great result.

I love you, world! And I love you too!

I'm really sorry to hear about your struggle with sleep and the emotional pain you're going through. It sounds incredibly tough. Maybe it's time to reach out to a mental health professional who can offer support and help you work through these feelings.

It must be so exhausting, both physically and emotionally, to go through this for so long. The words that are haunting you need to be addressed. Have you tried talking to someone about how those words have affected you? Sometimes sharing the burden can make it feel lighter.

Sleep is so vital, and I understand how desperate you must feel. Perhaps you could explore relaxation techniques or mindfulness practices that might help calm your mind at night. It's important to also keep communicating with your doctor about what's working and what isn't.

Cheryl Thomas The difference between success and failure can be as simple as a positive attitude towards setbacks.

I can only imagine how heavy this all feels. Remember, it's okay to seek help and to not go through this alone. There are people and resources available that can provide the support you need to start feeling better.
