I’m really wondering if anyone on here has these coexisting problems, so basically if I don’t drug or exhaust myself into a stupor I don’t sleep, when I do sleep I grind my teeth, like really bad, I’ve broken 3 mouth guards by grinding and it causes horrible jaw neck and shoulder pain, and for some reason the mouthguard doesn’t work, it’s professional by the way. With that I have very shallow sleep which seems to be at least a little hereditarily, but like I said without pills, and too many at that I don’t sleep, maybe an hour of feverish napping if I’m lucky. I had an assessment and it’s not bipolar, but I definitely feel manic on those days, it’s especially bad around a full moon and my period, and not in a hocus pocus kind of way it’s just a pattern. I also got diagnosed with fibromyalgia and I’m almost in constant pain, but it’s such a murky diagnosis I can’t even take it seriously. I know prolonged periods of stress can cause adrenal fatigue, and I’ve read about correlations between ptsd fibromyalgia and adrenal fatigue. I try a holistic approach, eating healthy, excersize cutting out caffeine etc, but honestly nothing besides t3 and zopiclone really even makes a dent. My life is very interrupted by all these things I used to be a straight a university student doing a double major, but I just do the bare minimum to survive right now. I’ve had really bad experiences with a host of anti depressants and I’ve tried garbapentin, I got extremely suicidal from all of them. Does anyone on here have any insight or experiencing similar things? I seem to be some kind of a strange mystery to my doctors and psychiatrists, and no one is offering solutions. Trying to stay positive. Oh also I have like 3 recurring nightmares and my dreams are vivid and frightening and I cannot wake up from them, but they are not directly related to my trauma. Please share your experiences or advice I’m really interested if anyone can relate, I’m feeling really isolated by all of this shite.
