Sorry for taking so long to reply back. This really does help a lot, and thank you so much for such a detailed response! The acknowledgement helps a lot with the stress I've had over this. Maybe things will start coming together. I've been overwhelmed by everything but I hafta just believe things are just going to get better. Even if this is what I usually end up wanting to do -->

i used to feel like this until i decided to take back control of my life by first questioning what i was going to do and why, if it was something i felt was not what i wanted to do i did not do it, i then made sure every decision i made was a fully informed one especially those around my treatment, i then chose to became involved in the local disability and mental health groups to ensure i was up to date in my knowledge around treatments and local/governmental procedures in treatments, now i feel totally in control of my life except like i already said when i get frustrated with my carers. i think my carers do not like me being so in control of my life as most carers are used to dealing with people with deminished capacity so the carers can basically do what they want where with me they have to do what I want!

This gave me an idea of something that might help me. It's worth a try anyways. I've found an object I can wear as a sort of "trigger". Use that object to help me meditate and focus on "reality" and say to myself "this is all real" etc. So once my mind is used to using this as a trigger it will do do it automatically perhaps. Just something to help pull me back. I need that object though I think, because I otherwise would just go completely out and in "automatic" mode and not be able to stop and bring myself back which takes time to do and I don't usually have the time it takes to do that in most situations.
