I need some fucking help guys(cant sleep)

For the past few months, I have NOT been able to get much sleep no matter how late I go to bed. I lay down in my fucking bed, but i CANNOT get comfortable, NOR can my thoughts stop! It seems like when I lay down to sleep, my thoughts start racing, and that combines with a fucking weird feeling in my legs. I feel like I have to stretch my calf muscles EVERY time i lay down in bed. So usually, i get up and do a full leg stretch before I lay back down, but that never helps, the uncomfortable feeling still remains in my calves when I try to sleep. Another thing, it's DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE for me to fucking get comfortable.. I can find a SUPER comfortable position on my bed, and then 5 minutes later i feel like I have to find a new spot and a new position to sleep in.
This has been going on for fucking months now, and Today I snapped.
Last night I tried going to bed at a decent time that's relatively early for me (12am), and I get to bed. Cant stop fucking thinking, and have that feeling in my damn calves. I get up, stretch my legs, and lay back down. Ahhh feels good, I try and get comfortable for about 5 minutes and find a position. Eventually I fall asleep, but next thing I know, I wake up probably an hour later drenched in sweat and my calf has that fucking annoying feeling in it which pisses me off, I ignore it and try and get comfortable again. I fall asleep again and wake up about an hour 30 minutes later AGAIN COVERED IN SWEAT. This process repeats until I have to get up for work today. I almost didn't go because of how tired and pissed off I was that I can't sleep anymore. Then, when I get home for work, I realize that I spent ALL WEEK looking forward to friday and once this day comes, I again realize that I had made NO PLANS with ANYONE. At that point, i felt like a worthless piece of shit that couldnt sleep, and all i could think about was going through the trouble of sleeping again tonight because I have noone to chill with, and I have no weed to get high off of (helps me sleep). For some reason, thinking about those things made me almost start crying... I felt helpless, I was so frustrated that my eyes were tearing up... and I felt like i wanted to fucking beat the shit out of somebody about all this. I have no idea why sleep deprivation would make me suddenly think so lowly of myself today, but it did. I feel like such shit Today, but talking about this is making it alot better. (I can't believe I almost cried about an hour or two ago because I've had such trouble sleeping lately)
Anyway, I want to go to the doctor soon and I REALLY hope he doesn't prescribe sleeping pills. I want a benzodiazepine, just something to slow my thoughts down and help me be more relaxed and sedated. I don't want sleeping pills because I don't want to completely RELY on something to give me sleep. I want to fall asleep on my own, I just want something to relieve my symptoms that keep me from sleeping you know?
I really want your guys feedback on this problem, you guys always help me so much. I love the shroomery with all my heart.

I had similiar issues.
I was prescribed a benzo for this very thing. Anxiety induced insomnia. I took Klonopin. It worked and now I dont take it and I sleep pretty well I guess. Just dont get hooked on that shit.
Sounds like you have restless leg syndrome. I get it every once in a while. It sucks. Talk to your doctor about it. I usually try to ignore it and usually I fall asleep. Its hard and takes me a good while but that works for me.
exercise may put you to bed too.

You need magnesium. Get some of this Natural Calm powder, makes an OK tasting drink and works great. Your milk/cheese consumption has overcalcified you!

I have the same problem. I tried valerian root, magnesium, etc etc. Which helped a tiny bit at first then didn't work at all. I need something to knock me out. The trouble with benzos is they are addictive and wd is a bitch. What i take now is lyrica and seroquel. Both are great for sleep and i take the lyrical only 1 x per week to avoid tolerance, the seroquel i take 2 x per week. I also take phenibut but no more than 1 x per week because you get a tolerance right away on that stuff and it can be addictive too. PM me for sources if you have trouble finding that stuff. Lack of sleep is deadly. You make one little mistake driving and you are crippled or dead. Plus you can't enjoy life tired all the time. So i take this stuff and no problems. I also take pot cookies now and then. That helps some. You've got to get your sleep, fuck the law and fuck greedy pharma companies that jack up prices to the sky.

I use bacopa every day. Mild stuff doesn't help me any more. Thank goodness i found some strong stuff or i'd be in a fog of tiredness every day. Might as well be dead as that.

I use the powdered herb. It makes you a little bit sleepy but i take it for general health since it doesn't do much for sleep.

Hijacked my thread I see :P
But I HAVE NEWS TO UPDATE YOU GUYS WITH. I went to my good ole doctor today, told him all the shit about uncomfortableness in my legs, and anxiety with my thoughts where it is hard to sleep cause i cant stop thinking.
He prescribed me RLS medicine, called Ropinirole. Haven't tried it yet, that's what im going to do tonight. It costed fucking $143.99 for a bottle of 60. Shit. I got 60 0.25mg tablets. Supposed to take 1 for 2 days then increase the dosage over time. maximum of 2mg per day.
If this only helps my uncomfortable leg sensation but not my racing thoughts when I sleep, I'll try and go back and get prescribed a benzo for anxiety. 
But so far I hope this works.

It's actually not alot of stress at all. I have nothing to be stressed over, period. Its just when I sleep, I can't stop thinking haha.
Oh and I exercise ALOT. Skateboarding is such a good cardio workout. I sweat like a gallon a month, literally. I've skateboarded routinely since I was a wee little kid I feel like im getting too old for this but at the same time im not! It's kept me in good shape!

AS I thought, this medicine only helped my RLS. I still can't stop thinking, but the RLS medicine helps me STAY asleep, but my sleeping anxiety makes it pretty hard to fall asleep.

Alright, update #3
2 weeks ago I got a bottle of 90 1mg Ropinirole pills.. Fuck that shit
I told my doctor that the ropinirole helps my RLS, but doesn't help me sleep at all. The nigger told me that oh its no big deal the medicine will just balance out in a week or two and ill be able to sleep. fucking bullshit, its been 2 weeks and i still cant sleep at all. I need some goddamn rest, next time I go see him I need to tell him flat up that I need something else to get me rest.
I would jizz if i got xanax. but Ambien would be nice.

The stuff i got works fine. Xanax is nice but you get hooked on it fast and need bigger and bigger doses. Ambien is similar and you may waken before morning. Everything has sides and most things cost a lot.

Melatonin is mild weak stuff. It's like lemon balm, valerian and a few other things. Those help if you have a mild problem. They use to work for me but quit working. What i have now is quetiapine. That's the chemical name, the trade name is seroquel. It's used for depression, anxiety and as a sleep aid in low doses. I take 1/2 a 50 mg tab and it knocks me out. They use much higher doses for other things but then you get side effects. I have one or two other things i use also. I don't take the same thing every night to avoid tolerance.
