What's your longest most torturous stretch of sleep deprivation? And explain if your looks got effected aswell. And did you fully recover? Did your looks fully recover?
This story is pretty intense I can't lie. For context on the story here are the images of my new apartment.
Somehow THESE floors read even: https://imgur.com/a/SQs6YUX
I have a brand new 6ft level. Got done using it, returned it and got a brand new 6ft level even more expensive different brand. All reads level again. But my apparent even visually is sooooo god damn uneven. I try not to lose my mind...
But then I stopped sleeping... I now only sleep 2-3 days a week for the past 6 months. It's completely destroyed everything about my mood, health, physical, looks, you name it.
Feels like my head and shoulders and back sink while my legs are floating. Essentially I feel so uneven I feel like I'm being held upside down.
This makes it quite literally impossible to sleep. And when I do I have nightmares about the shit... it's so awful. I'll be at thr edge of a cliff etc.
It is probably the most dramatic and torturous thing I've ever been through in my entire life. And I've been through crazy amounts of chronic pain etc.
After 11 years of chronic pain, breakups, life loss, etc NOTHING compares to the pain of this mattress situation.
It's a gamble wether I sleep every single night.
I've went through 5 different mattresses, 2 frames, 2 box springs, shims, I mean you fucking name i've tried it.
Every style of mattress everything.
The mattresses themselves are extremely nice and comfortable. Some better then others but all great.
I have sleeping issues yes, but not when this tired. I'm so tired I don't even have my ADHD running a million miles a minute anxiety. It's just nothingness because my brain is so fried from sleep debt.
But this pain... and the knowing of being upside down will keep me up for DAYSSSSSS on end... I mean DAYSSSS...
I have OCD as well but I'm very very very well aware of the mind body connection and somatic pain etc. there's no way this is made up in my head.
I'm 6ft 160 pounds and my mom is 5'6 110 (I gained 35 pounds from this bullshit sleep debt)
She lays on them and says it's fine... but I had a friend lay on them with no context given and he asked why they're all uneven and shit... that was 2 months ago.
I been going through this since February 27th and I'm losing my mind. What could this be? I lost my griflriend to this, my job, my friends, my life, and essentially haven't left my house in over 6 months because im so tired im not even human anymore.
I used to be extremely good looking. Now im a little below average. My face suffered a lot from sleep debt.
I finally decided to move to the apartment above me... and same thing.. almost even worse.... but how is the level reading level no matter where I go?!?! Even the bed, even the bed frame, even the floor. I lost everything to this bullshit uneven bed situation
What the hell could this be?!?! I mean there's no possible way this is in my head. I'm more sure all of my chronic pain was in my head (no matter how real or painful) then this being in my head. Like there is noooo fucking way.
Yes I got my thyroid checked.
Yes I'm already on the strongest sleep medications there is (ambien, trazadone) and still stay up days regardless. Yes it's that painful and uneven.
Yes I got my vestibular checked
Yes I'm diagnosed with OCD, ADHD, Autism 1 but doctors already said it's most likely not OCD if it's only my mattresses at my house. I've gone through so many man.
WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE??!?!
TLDR; I'm sleeping only 2-3 nights a week because I feel completely uneven and upside down which causes awful back pain. It is worse then almost any pain or hardship I've ever been through x10. It is pure torture. I can't even describe the torture. Some days I finally fall asleep and then won't hit even an hour of rem sleep.
I feel like I lost everything. I spent 10 years healing myself through chronic illness just to finally fully heal start looking great after 10 years of being bed ridden. Enjoyed my good looks and pain free life for 6 months and then lost it all by breaking my spine in a car accident. Currently only sleeping 3-4 days a week in extreme amounts of pain. Lost my good looks. My teeth enamel is thinned way out, gained tons of weight. Idk. I was so happy and excited to live this life. Now I'm back to my cage.
I effectively escaped chronic illness, lives in normal life for six months and then got catapulted back into chronic pain hell.
What's the worst thing that's ever happened to you that didn't need to happen?
TLDR; I used to believe everything happens for a reason (still believe in god) but now I soley just believe life just happens.

I feel so fucked. Most of my stuff is porus and things I love. I don't wanna continue to be sick. I'm tired of being sick.
Can I take them up to my new unit and mold fog them in a spare closet on bedroom? Or like what can I do.
Can't really afford storage unit. And it's super humid 80-90+ daily outside.
This was black mold before, now it's been blowing white and blue mold for days now.
TLDR; I have no clue which to pick.
Borrow someone's garage and mold fog everything? Move with the clothes in garage bags and heavily wash with EO5 or vinegar? What would you do? I have to move everything in the next 2 days.
I'm sober for context
I'm getting worried as hell. 21 year old male. What is the longest you guys have ever stayed up? This is getting extremely worrisome.
Please.
I feel like I've tried everything!
I'm so fucking tired of this.
Any success stories of getting it all back? All your forgotten memories and knowledge?
You always here people talking about "oh you never truly lost it" but is that actually true? Or?
It seems gone forever
I've been dealing with mold for a while but after finding more, not being able to open windows cause of humidity, and my ac being filled with it. I completely lost all my memory of everything. I haven't had memory in years but this is 100x
Anyone else? Is this normal?
Any success stories of it coming back?? I just studied certain topics I will use for the rest of my life for 3 years straight 3 months ago, not a day off studying and it's ALL gone.
