Dec 14, 2022Been suffering from ptsd since I was 7 years old and I’m 99% sure my schizophrenia is a result of this. I suffer from nightmares/hallucinations as well auditory hallucinations that remind me of my trauma and it makes it almost impossible for me to sleep.
The only times I’m able to sleep is when I pass out from exhaustion or when high. As a result I’ve developed an addiction to opiates that I’ve been battling for the past 3-4 years.
I also take my meds like I’m supposed to but it has almost no effect. I have seriously been pondering suicide for a while now I’m tired of fighting this, the only things keeping me from doing so are my faith in Allah (swt), my family and my fiancé.
Any help in regards to bettering my mental health, and beating my addiction would be greatly appreciated or just kind words just need to vent/have someone listen.

I don’t go to a therapist because can’t get insurance. Only reason I’m diagnosed is because I got admitted to a facility.
Thank you for the kind words habibi

I too suffer from nightmares, insomnia and PTSD. What helps me is journaling my thoughts and countering them on paper. Most of the time I need to write them down, for me to realize how irrational they are.
As for the night, standing up from bed and doing something for 15 mins like stretching or some light exercise helps me. And I only ever go into bed when I’m literally about to pass out, not a second before that so my mind instantly knows it’s sleep time whenever I hop in.
However, this isn’t the definite solution you might be looking for. I’ve been going to therapy for almost 2 years now and it definitely helps me. I would recommend you try it as well.
Take care 🙏🏽

I’m from Libya. Lived through the 1st civil war. Survived nato bombing raids that killed large numbers of my family and neighbors. A lot of my family was in gaddafis military as well so they were targeted and killed which made me extremely paranoid even to this day. Super sensitive to loud noises, people raising their voice and gory violent movies and games it’s almost like i have no control and won’t stop crying for hours won’t even be able to move

Damn this sucks. Coming out the military and being overseas I had a hard time readjusting. Tripping shrooms a couple times really helped honestly.
