However my sleep is royally screwed up. I’m going to bed anywhere between 2-4am at the moment and even then not falling sleep easily. Tried going to bed earlier but haven’t been able to reset my sleep.
Also my voices have been the worst they have in a couple of years at least recently. The nurse I see for alcohol stuff said we need to keep an eye on it as alcohol withdrawal might exacerbate it and I agree because they were really bad on one of the days after I drank less two days in a row.
It’s like I can hear them even when I’m doing things sometimes and they are saying more complex stuff rather than just the same repetitive ****.
I think it’s partly been to blame for not falling asleep easily recently because I end up listening to them and then my mind starts thinking about stuff and I don’t feel tired.
I’m just seeing how it goes at the moment. Thus far I’ve not had any paranoia or anything so that’s good but I may get my p-doc appointment brought forward and consider meds again if things don’t improve soon.
Oh well. I’m not in a bad mood overall. Doing well just the lack of sleep and voices wearing me out.
