Always keep the faith. I´d ask your gp for some heavier sleeping medication there´s some pills out there that´ll knock you out for sure. There´s also great literature about trauma and how to heal from it. I don´t like this Andrew Heberman? guy but he definitely knows what he´s talking bout. Imma link his trauma ep in a minute.
Here you go:
it's all bad
Been 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.
So sorry to hear life has been difficult for you OP
I'm in no place to offer any actual help to you but just know that from the bottom of my heart i hope things turn out better for you
Don't lose your faith, keep the people in your life that matter to you close and stay strong
Much love brother

Follow me back and message me. Tell me every single thing you see & hear.
If it helps you, I'd prefer a wall of text. I'd like to know every detail, especially about the visual hallucinations. But I'd like to hear about the audio as well.
I can't help you but what I can do is read your words and explain what I would do if I were in your shoes.
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
You in school right? Idk you might have tried already but maybe your school offers some insurance or some health thing

Are you prescribed Seroquel? If not ask your doctor about it. It’s an anti psychotic but doubles as a sleeping aid.
Don’t get hooked on opiates dawg I had to go rehab and s*** was not fun at all and I would not recommend and the comedown from those will def add to your depression not help it
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
May Allah guide you bro
Where do you live now?
