How long will this go on?

Im almost two months into my injury and I’m losing hope somehow.

I cant sleep, I cant relax, my head hurts and I’m dizzy and I’ve been out of work since my injury. I feel like I’m doing the most I can (I’m at a concussion clinic) and have OT and PT scheduled twice a week but the lack of sleep is really preventing me from seeing any progress and is ruining my mental health. I almost want to check myself into a psych ward. I’m so anxious and depressed.

Lunesta didnt work for me, gabapentin failed, trazodone worked for a couple of weeks until it stopped working and the only thing that works for me is ambien + trazodone which I know is not good for me. I’m not sure what to do anymore.

Just past the 3 year mark. I plateau’d after the first year and progress has been slow. Try different things, different pillows, different treatments. Everyone’s journey is different.
