At first, I thought it was going to get better, "I'll give it a chance, a couple of months and everything will go back to normal", but it didn't. I had it for years, and the only thing I can state is that insomnia got me absolutely crazy. I was literally becoming crazier as time passed by. I went to so many doctors, I did so many treatments, meditation, etc. and nothing seemed to help me out. I took Ambien as well, and valium, and quetiapine and alcohol and marihuana to get a couple of hours of sleep, if I had luck, I would wake up with anxiety and my mind going crazy with thoughts. I remember one day I said to a friend "I can't stop thinking that I can't stop thinking..." How fucked up it was! I realized that my insomnia had many factors combined, and it had to do with my demons and problems or situations not solved in my life. I started having suicidal thoughts, and just when I was hitting rock bottom, I discovered the psychotherapy with psychedelics, specifically with ayahuasca, and it changed my life completely. I've been doing this for 15 months, and finally, the last one I've managed to get decent sleep without sleeping pills, but It has been a tough journey, very difficult, but so beneficial for my health in general. All the effort has finally paid off.elcollardecarmelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18364087659488034812noreply@blogger.com
