So I’m not sure how to stop obsessing when I’m trying to go to sleep. I do not think it is related to my mood (except when I wasn’t sleeping). It just...is. The topics rotate. For a few weeks it was my relationship with my late husband. That switched to planning a non existent wedding and wondering when/how/if RS was going to propose. That seems to have eased. But now it’s moved in to how awful I was in the past and how many people I hurt during episodes, how many hospitals I’ve been in, what it was like in the group home, what I wished I would have done differently.....this is familiar because it was my obsession a few months ago too. I don’t really know how to quiet my mind when I’m trying to sleep. Maybe I’ll bring it up in IOP tomorrow
