I'm experiencing a bad bout of insomnia and have been for 2 weeks. I have always had problems sleeping and staying asleep but this is unbareable. I have barely been eating because my appetite is gone for some reason and i'm already underweight. I can't focus properly at college and my grades are going to fall. My physician prescribed me a small dose of Ambien and i'm scared to take it because I read all these scarey possible side effects. My living situation is crappy because I live with my dad, his gf and her children and I hate them all to put it bluntly. I'm close to my grandmother but I don't want to put a burden on her by moving in and I wouldn't be able to take my dog with me. Sorry I went off topic but has anyone taken ambien or other sleeping pills and can offer me some advice?

It sucks hey :/ Oh well at least we're not alone Interesting point crazy Thanks for the replies xo

I find that certain smells trigger feelings of intense panic. It's like I remember the smell and it brings it all back and I get flashbacks almost. Does anyone else find this?

I see a psychiatrist fortnightly which helps a bit but it's still kinda lonely. Glad to hear Nik

Only in the last 2 or 3 years. What about you?

Thanks guys

Hello everybody, I'm Alexa, 20, and I suffer from PTSD and GAD. I guess i'm looking for other people who understand what i'm going through because not many people around me do. Peace out.
