Idk what to do, i can hardly sleep at night, somehow pushing thru the days and I just cant do this. School has put so much on me and im EXHAUSTED. My parents dont allow me to skip though, and im very busy with other things outside of school, so im never stopping. Is there any advice someone could give me related to things that would help me with this? Im rly struggling

Why are you unable to sleep?
Try heart rate lowering breathing exercise , that sometimes helps in sleep.
While simultaneously address why you can't sleep at such a young age.
i cant sleep bc of my insomnia
and I also have AuDHD and my heart rate is always rly fast and its super hard for me to calm down, its just VERY difficult for me to sleep
For this try breathing excercises , esp heart rate lowering ones. It calms the nervous system also and help a person feel sleepy.
Are all those properly diagnosed by a doctor?
yes, I was medically diganosed with ADHD, Autism, Insomnia, Alexithymia, Body Dismorphic disorder, Imposter Syndrome, Anxiety, PTSD, and GER (Gastroesophageal Reflux)
Ive tried many, they seem to never work. I take magneisum, dont use any devices for 1-2 hours before bed, and I usually read or do anything relaxing before bed. However, I feel tired, mentally and physically, but my body cant shut down.
Am I doing anything wrong? Or? Because Ive done everything I've been told to help, but it just doesnt work. And Its not healthy to be a young teenager with so many mental issues and not be able to have proper rest, but It seems like I can't do anything about it.
If you have been medically diagnosed by a doctor then only a doctor can help you.
Please don't listen to much anywhere else. Me , your friends ,anyone on any server , chatgpt , Gemini , internet , self knowledge etc etc etc are not the right places . All of them can tell only what they have seen , heard or read somewhere.
Yes AI also aggregates data from internet only.
Follow your doctor's lead.

Never lie to them about anything. Doctors work on information basis from their patients . Any misinformation will hurt you only in the long run.

If you find it hard to open , then instead of lying or hiding , try taking more session with the intention of getting comfortable enough to one day open up
I am sorry kid you're going through so much at such a tender age. I know everyday you must feel when will end. Will I ever be able to go back the way I once was. The constant terror that brings tears to eyes. The feeling that people can't possibly understand what I am going through. The ruminating and searching for the internet for solutions .
The despair its not working. The despair that maybe this is my life now. I will never be able to function normally like the rest of humans etc etc etc etc.
I am so so so so so sorry , you have to feel all that and be so alone with soul crippling situations. But I promise you.
No I know things will get better , try to hanf in there. I am here for you. I understand. And , things will get better. I promise you.

Thank you, Ive talked to my doctor and like Ive said, ive done everything they told me. The last thing they said was to try and just find a schedule or something that works and stick with it, but i cant do it because my sleep is so messed up I cant focus most of the time. I reached out on here to find any tips or anything to help me etc. When I did talk to her (my doctor) she said she feels as if giving me medications right now is a risk due to my health already and stacking it with my other preexisting medications, and all I can do Is try to use the things she told me to try and get my body used to it. So far it hasnt done anything, and ive been doing all shes said for months. (feb 27th- to today) But I feel as if once my school ends, I might be able to focus on myself more. Im so busy with school and other things I cant truly think for myself. And I dont know what things im having problems with exactly, but im hoping for the best this summer.
Thank you again, for your support and input. Im thankful that there are people still supporting others, especially those who are young like me. Ive heard way to much stuff about how teenagers are over the top etc, and im glad to just know that some people just want to make sure we are alright instead of judge. Thank you again š«
