Awake and asleep
So...hey r/insomnia. This is my first time on this subreddit surprisingly, but oh well. Like many of you prolly are right now, i am wide awake at 2:26 (am) and no sign of sleep happening anytime soon. My insomnia has been with me ever since i can remember, due at least in part to my schizophrenia. My adhd doesnt help, and my dyslexia means that reading a book to try and sleep is nearly impossible. Normally, i smoke some weed and fall asleep, but wake up later, just like tonight/this morning. I am prescribed an anti-depressant, lexapro, and it gives me super vivid dreams. During the day, i take fifty mg of vyvanse (amphetamine) in the morning and twenty mg at noon. I feel like im tripping during the day. Like i cant tell dreams from reality, everything will be completely surreal to me, and i just have to keep going in order to not go completely off the deep end. Im also on birth control, although i dont think that has much of an effect. I have my theories as to why i experience these symptoms, theyve been happening nearly my whole life in varying degrees of severity, but i was wondering if anyone experiences something similar. And if you do, please explain and all. Okay, sorry for the long post, thanks for reading if yah did (if not, das cool too). TL;DR: im fucked up and confuse reality and dreams. Not sure if meds, insomnia, and/or general craziness. (futurama meme here)
