Don't let Insomnia take control of You

Insomnia, It's so torturous to be exhausted in every way possible, but not be able to sleep. My insomnia was accompanied by severe anxiety and depression.

Every day, all day long, I used to fight battles against myself. I dread nighttime because I know that while so many others are sleeping comfortably and peacefully, I'll lie awake wishing that my brain had an off switch.

It could be so incredibly frustrating because everything I've tried hasn't worked. I wanted to cry hysterically when I used to think about sleeping; I missed it like a dead spouse.

I often think I'm exaggerating but that's my past.

I know that my insomnia intensifies my depression and anxiety ocassionaly, so I try to remind myself of that whenever I'm feeling particularly awful, but it doesn't help much. 

Its really exhausting to fight your own demons...
