Hello,
From the South East of England, lost my Mum to cancer very recently which has started the insomnia but recently, things have been getting too much... I can no longer use common sense, logic or reasoning... I lose it. Prior to my Mums passing I had social problems, I started becoming reclusive... I'm in IT, I thought it came with the territory.
I have been given Zopiclone which just made me feel like i'd been out drinking, I had something similar to diazapam (can't remember the name) which... sort of worked, but because it's seeming to be longer term (3 months really bad), 15 years of poor sleeping in general and now with the added... edginess, I feel like something bad is always around the corner and obviously very sad, my beautiful Mum died - my only real friend who understood me.
I've read it can 'zone' people out, loss of emotion and weight gain (something I don't need any more of). Is this a long term solution, I want to feel better but I don't want to become another... zombie - apologies for the use of the word, but it can really be like that.
Does this mean I'm depressed?
