sounds like a wicked weekend ! for sure i’d have a week of upset sleep after that anyway, especially if i kept it up for weeks on end.
but the question that comes to my mind is, what are you actually wanting there ? Is it just help with messed up sleep patterns or are you after the benzodiazepines specifically for some reason 😉
i think it’s a bad idea to mislead your doctor if you really want help from them. a year or two down the line you might go to them for something serious and they’ll re-read your notes and say “ah i see you had an episode of depressive emotional upsets in 200blah. you obviously have a history of this.”
otoh if you really are getting anxiety, panic attacks and sweats then fair enough but don’t jazz it up ! of course there’s a few docs who just try to jolly you out of it (got that t shirt myself) but i think most doctors will take it seriously enough. if you have real needs and there’s more than one gp at your practice then keep trying until you find one you can click with and who doesn’t bullshit you, then ask for him/her in future.
i kind of gathered in another thread near here you might have been kaning things a bit. that’s not one of my things so i can’t speak from experience, but i wouldn’t be surprised if long term karnage was messing up your sleep even though you took it easy this weekend. no doubt someone else can give more informed comment but maybe taking it easy on that front for a few months like you said in t’other thread might be the best way to get back to proper sleep.
if you want help in breaking the cycle whilst you’re kutting down then i guess you must have some genuine shit going on in your life you can tell your doc about and that it’s giving you trouble in getting to sleep – you may not get vallies out of it but you’ll probably get something to help you drop off !
sleeplessness sucks :hopeless: take it ez m8 and hope you can get the sleep sorted.
