Bad insomnia/reality break

Just had my first break with reality did not know what was real lasted a few hours. It was scary, not been sleeping before but no chance tonight I don't think. Have had a constant ringing in my ears that wont stop and has only stopped breifely when I took some sleeping tablets for 3 nights. No tablets tonight need to try something to rest. Any ideas? please ask and questions and I will try to answer will try to rest again and breathe.

Consider playing some quiet restful music in your bedroom when you go to sleep.  It may help you ignore the ringing.  For me, the music also serves as a small distraction to help dilute thoughts that might not be conducive to sleep.

managed to calm down and slept a little, still have the ringing but it is bearable. Just trying to breath, that was a scary thing. Really thought that was it.

 

I wrote alot down which is helping. Hope this can help someone else. Deep breathing and relaxing mediation music helped eventually. hope that does not happen again.
