Example? I wake up – ok, just do something until lunch, until dinner, take a nap, it’s finally night time. Take your meds a bit early and go back to bed… etc.
I tend to do this when I feel anxious or want to get pressing/important things over with that are coming up. I’ve stressed out this week about next week. I have a lot of appointments beginning of the week. The lucky part is they take place early, so that is a plus. I can literally get them over with, assuming I can get through the days leading up to it. Lol

I’m not really in a bad mood state – my medicines really have made the difference for me, but a lot of peripheral issues are coming up and making me feel uneasy. I need to better my life in a lot of ways but I am not making progress. I don’t like how slow therapy works – I’m struggling now, I don’t want to wait out 4-5 sessions to unpack everything with someone new. I don’t want to even address half of it. I don’t want to even look myself in the mirror because I hate the fact I’m unable to help myself.

I don’t guess I have a real grasp of what my issue is or how to fix it at this point. I just want to get to a point I can at least be autonomous again. [Sorry for the vagueness, but I have no want to to elaborate more.]

I need to eat healthier. I am technically a healthy weight but I don’t like my body and I have some worries about the PCP visit. I am sure she’ll wanna do blood work, which is fine – I’m just nervous it’ll show some issues – like high cholesterol (which the amount of fast food and processed foods I eat, wouldn’t be a surprise) – My blood pressure at home always runs “elevated” and the last time I went to the doctor was actually high. I’m worried she’ll see concern there. I know they are simple problems with pretty simple solutions [change in diet, perhaps meds] but still. I shouldn’t worry until necessary, but I can’t seem to help myself.
I'm so sorry that you are struggle with so many things i understand the wishing the day away. I lately can't wait until its bedtime. I dont really sleep all that much but climbing into bed with my super soft blanket just ffels safe.

Hope your blood work comes back okay and no need for any medications. Years ago I was able to change my foods and it dropped mine. But psych meds finally won and I had to go on medication..

Are you able to switch up activities? I get in a rut at times and get stuck with some that no longer work at all.

Be kind to yourself
