I’m trying different methods of coping with needing so much sleep but it’s a real struggle. I might see if I can come down with my antipsychotic. I have an appt with my p doc in 3 weeks.
Other than that my mood has been pretty good. I’ve had a lot of alcohol (wine) the past couple of days, well maybe not a lot a lot, but more than is recommended! It’s just kind of made me sleepy 
I’ve still been keeping really busy, but I’m doing less “avoiding” which is a good sign.
I had a meeting with my director at work and he’s been super supportive. I just hope my previous supervisor (she was not very nice to me) signs me off/marks me as completed.
We’ll see! I have to arrange a meeting with her  
I’m dreading it.
I hope everyone has had a lovely day! And I hope you all have a peaceful sleep! Lots of hugs  |
I'm thankful for members like you, Pinny, who make this place so nice!
I wouldn't give up hope about your sedating meds. It took a while, but the sedation from my Seroquel XR eventually eased. Maybe not at night, but it stopped being as sedating during the daytime. Ugh, patience! I generally sleep 8 to 9 hours per night. If I'm groggy upon awakening, the groggy feeling eases in 10 minutes as my coffee brews.
Too much alcohol is bad for me, too. Even what is the upper "moderate" daily consumption.
