Hey everyone,

I have been an avid journaler for years, particularly when it comes to my thoughts and feelings. I struggle really badly with my mental health, so it became my rock when I was in the hospital. Anyway, I have been struggling with an awful bout of insomnia, and I have now been given some strong medicine to help with it initially because I am chronically sleep-deprived. I know a lot of this is due to worrying and anxiety; I have a sheer amount of things going on, and they are all ruminating. I want to look into brain-dump techniques, turning something chaotic into organised and routinely structured. Most of my worries are surrounding things/events/appointments. I need to have a space to word-vomit, and then organise. I looked at the Alastair Method, and it interested me - can anyone recommend any other techniques? Thanks so much.

Hey everyone, after a very scary, long, psychotic inducing bout of insomnia I was prescribed Zopiclone for a week. Dosage of 3.75, but I can take up to two at night. I took one at 10:30pm, time passed and I checked my phone, it was 4am. So I took the other pill, checked the time again and it was 8:30am. But I still don’t know if I slept??? I’m confused and hoping I did manage to a bit.

I really want to preserve with it, and I think I’ll take two tonight at a time. If anyone has similar experience with it I’d be interested. Thanks a bunch. :)
