Late cycle.
When I tell people I struggle to fall asleep and that I've had that problem a while, they never expect me to say it's gone at least as far back as kindergarten - at least, not by the looks on their faces when I tell them. But that's how it's always been. It's both an issue I struggle with and something I struggle to accept, and people not accepting that it takes an immense amount of work or the occasional dosage of drugs to cut it down to what's commonly accepted as typical at the bare minimum.
Case in point: telling my therapist I was tired this morning, and telling her it wasn't unusual. I'd tired myself out yesterday, too, from a decent workout and doing a lot of batch cooking, and it didn't shift anything once the lights were off and the covers were up. I've yet to find a reliable medication to help with this, and I'm not even sure what to ask for, since what I'd really like would be a small supply of several things at once to try them out without having to keep going back and asking again, but I understand most physicians and pharmacies aren't willing to go that route. So I'm just taking it as I take it.
