No sleep messes with you. Please don’t pick up that bottle, it’s not worth losing everything you’ve worked for. When I can’t sleep, I’ll get up and do something calming like a warm shower, light stretching, or listening to an audiobook until my mind settles. Sometimes I just accept it’ll be a rough night and focus on resting my body even if I’m not sleeping. You’ve made it 4 years, and you can make it through this too.

You can make it don’t give in. I’m sure we all can figure this out. Have you tried melatonin
