How can I get prescribed sleeping pills?

But my diet is objectively healthier than the majority of people

I'm not quite sure how other people's diets are relevant to your issues.

It is absolutely not normal or common to take 6-8 hours to get to sleep every night. And acting like my CrAp DiEt (which isn’t even actually crap) is causing a problem I’ve had as far back as I can remember is ridiculous when I’m eating far healthier than the average person and the average does not suffer with similar sleep issues.

Your diet and other life choices are not helping, even if they are not the cause. Comparing yourself to other people isn't going to solve things.

I eat healthily. You don’t have to be a 100% raw vegan who lives off nuts and seeds to eat healthily. A healthy diet is balanced

I am very well aware that a healthy diet is balanced. It also doesn't include drinking a bottle of wine per day. But you are a big girl, you can make your own choices, no one here cares what you do.

I don’t drink a bottle of wine every day. I was fully sober for a month and was having like 2-3 units most days for like a month before that.

What is the point of these threads if you're going to normalise your lifestyle and ignore everything that is said? It's been ongoing for at least a year.
You did it in the drinking thread.
You did it in the painkillers thread.
You're doing it now about sleeping pills.
At every stage you insist that you know yourself and what you need. But yet you still keep making threads about being decidedly unwell, and then obscuring the whole picture until someone recognises you. It strikes me that you just want to be told what you want to hear, (that your drinking is okay, how to get more painkillers, how to get sleeping pills etc).
At what point do you take a step back and look at the bigger picture?

Sure if you ignore the several threads and comments about me trying and successfully improving my health/lifestyle. I literally said in the comment above that I didn’t drink for a month this summer

This teetotal month, how did you make up the 600 daily calorie shortfall from cutting out the booze?
Which medications were you taking during this month, and how did the amount you were taking compare to the month before and the month after?
Did you notice any difference in how you felt over the course of this month, especially towards the end of it? Any difference in the frequency and severity of your headaches and stomach pains?
What prompted you to resume drinking alcohol?

And yet now you are back to drinking a bottle of wine in a day... So how have you successfully improved your lifestyle exactly?

I didn’t make up the 600 calories, I lost weight (but my current weight is 6 stone 11 so I’m not overweight or anything close to it from the drinking), and I took the same medications I do now. Headaches/stomachaches were the same and mentally I felt worse. And I started drinking again because I missed getting drunk.

I'm not surprised you felt worse on that starvation diet.
You would have been getting about the same amount of calories as a prisoner at Auschwitz.
Why didn't you make up the calorie deficit, given that your self image is that you eat a healthy diet?
And the key question: Why did you miss getting drunk so much that you went back to it?
What compels you to alter your reality?

My diet isn’t the issue here. I eat fruit and veg several times a day and eat far healthier than the average person (average UK bmi is 27.5, mine is 18.7). Acting like everyone who isn’t some raw vegan health freak who lives off nuts and lentils (I’m allergic to nuts which is why I don’t eat them by the way) takes 6-8 hours a night to get to sleep is delusional. Every time I have told a doctor what I’m eating (and from my blood tests), they have always said I have a healthy diet.

If you're allergic to nuts, why did you say in this thread that you have no food intolerances (Reply 13)?

Didn’t make up the calories because I like losing weight, I’m not actively trying to lose weight atm but I’ll take it where it happens unintentionally. And I missed getting drunk because it feels good and I enjoy it

Why do you gravitate to the alcohol form of feeling good?
Why not gravitate towards making love?
Playing a sport?
Eating delicious nutritious meals?
Watching a movie of your favourite genre?
Socialising with friends?
Listening to music at home?
Live music events?
Visiting tourist attractions?
Reading all time classic books?
Walks in beautiful countryside?
Spelunking?
Flying?
Creating works of art?
Etc etc etc?
Given how unhealthy it is to drink alcohol, especially in the quantities that you are for your size. Not to mention the unhealthy combination with codeine.

Because I don’t have any friends and I don’t enjoy any of that other ****
