It sounds like you’re experiencing withdrawal-related insomnia, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, which are common when quitting substances after long-term use. Your brain and body are adjusting to functioning without the substances, leading to severe sleep disruptions, heightened stress, and distressing thoughts. Since sleep deprivation can worsen anxiety and negative thinking, it’s important to address this in a structured way. Creating a consistent sleep routine, using relaxation techniques (like progressive muscle relaxation), and avoiding screens before bed can help stabilize your sleep patterns.
However, since your symptoms are intense and affecting your well-being, you may benefit from medically supervised detox or a structured recovery plan to ease the transition safely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for addiction and sleep issues can also help manage cravings, intrusive thoughts, and emotional distress. You don’t have to go through this alone—seeking professional support can make this process safer and more manageable.
