In the past 15 years, I’ve experimented with nearly 70 different remedies in an attempt to overcome my insomnia. I’ve tried prescription medications like Temazepam, Zopiclone, Zolpidem, and Amitriptyline, as well as various natural remedies including Bach Flower Remedies, magnesium, melatonin, and more. I’ve even explored non-ingestible remedies such as sleep masks, blackout blinds, and hypnotherapy. Despite my efforts, none of these solutions provided lasting relief.
Recently, I sought the help of sleep psychiatrist Dr. Dipesh Mistry, who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTi). Dr. Mistry’s approach is evidence-based and proven effective over decades of clinical data. Through personalized sessions and resources on getselfhelp.com, he aims to address not only my insomnia but also my moderate general anxiety disorder, which is rooted in my perfectionist mindset and tendency to catastrophize.
Although I was initially reluctant to accept the diagnosis of anxiety, I found solace in knowing that my exhaustion and sleeplessness were not merely a result of overreacting. Dr. Mistry assures me that with the right approach and commitment, my chances of success are significant. The CBTi program involves weekly Zoom sessions, where I am provided with comprehensive information, practical advice, and strategies to regulate my sleep patterns, challenge my beliefs, and develop healthier habits.
As someone who values attention to detail, I’ve eagerly embraced the homework assignments and techniques suggested by Dr. Mistry. While I understand that it will take time to reestablish a natural sleep routine, I am optimistic about the potential impact of this personalized CBTi approach. After years of struggling, I finally feel a sense of control over my insomnia, and I am committed to putting in the work required for lasting change.
