As an insomniac it's safe to say that whenever I hear say I have insomnia because I only got 2 hours of sleep last night that they're just full of it. I say that because me being almost 19 and having insomnia all my life isn't a joke. I have realized that some people are being honest, but when you self diagnose yourself with something it's not funny. People don't believe me when I tell them that I have sleep insomnia, PTSD, OCD, anxiety, et cetera because of the way I act. I'm okay with that. But, I wake up in constant pain all the time. I am in pain all day everyday but I learn to deal with it. Insomnia is fun, but also a major pain in the rear. I honestly don't know why people think it's a competition to see who got the least amount of sleep. Guess what though? The world doesn't revolve around you, them, or anybody. You can be born with it like I have or it can occur later on in life. I seriously wish that people would understand that insomnia is really hard to deal with. It's like there's this constant want to sleep but can't. I wish that I could sleep at night like a normal person.
