Is it bad that I've had insomnia since I was 13?

Question

It takes me 1 and a half to 2 and a half hours to sleep. Sometimes I worry about EVERYTHING and if I don't have anything to worry about, I always end up replaying every single event and every single conversation I've had during the day. And then after that, I usually end up replaying it AGAIN except adding things I should have done and imaging how the outcome would be, and then make up conversations and change past ones I've had. No matter what I do, my brain won't stop thinking! One thing always leads to another and I end up worrying about something. Then I recall memories, both good and bad. How can I fix this??

Answer 1

Knock yourself out or...

Try taking sleeping pills and going to a doctor or psychologist

Answer 2

I had insomnia. It turned out to be a chemical they put in food called sucralose. And it is in a lot of stuff. From fitness water to tomato sauce.

Sucralose is what Splenda is. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read the ingredients.



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air
