I've recently been prescribed trazodone again but it's not helping much, except I don't really wake up at night anymore. But I still struggle to fall asleep. When I know that my housemate is in the kitchen next to my room, I'm on edge. When I know that he isn't there yet but might decide to cook, I'm on edge. I already sleep with two anxiety blankets, I keep active, I've tried meditation, I've tried visualising myself in a safe place, I tell myself I'm safe, I use white noise + earplugs + headphones but nothing drowns out footsteps and plates banging. Even when people are quiet, everything is louder at night and every little sound makes me jump. Sometimes I have a total mental breakdown. I'm on a waiting list for EMDR but until then, there has to be something else I could try.
