It really does. What's bad is that usually there is something, if not just one little thing, that helps relieve that oppression and people who don't suffer from insomnia have no idea what it's like and typically preach about it like; "You need to do this!" or "You can't be doing that." When in reality maybe you just need to have a hoodie on, or have your boyfriend/girlfriend close by, maybe a particular song playing, maybe have a cup of coffee before bed because the smell and taste calms you down from the edge of anxiety.

Insomnia went along with my undiagnosed Bi-Polar condition.  It wasn't until I was medicated did it stop.   For the most part, there are still days that crop up where I go 72 hours with no sleep.
It really does eat you alive, it brings out the worst in your moods and it tears down your intelligence making your so terribly emotional.

I can understand. I was living with PTSD for a long time, my therapist estimates I had it since early childhood due to the junk that's happened. I couldn't sleep at all for many long years with those long periods of time where you don't know what to do, how to do it. You can't think, you're confused a lot, you barely function, people get on your nerves very easily, eat little, drink little, and it just gets worse from there.

Insomnia is really a beast.
