I feel for you @Nammu - you've always been my biggest supporter on here, and it hurts my heart to hear you struggling. I am glad you called 988 - it's important. I remember you used to do so many activities in your community and building, and was curious as to why you haven't in a while. Is it something you can get back into? We're here for you like Jane said, this is the best place to check in and share how you're feeling. You know we all love you so much.
 I am having a real issue with this sleep thing too - I don't know if it's the weather or what's going on, but I am just SO tired all day and wide awake in bed after just a couple of hours of sleep - the CPAP or the meds aren't even helping - I think I am building some kind of tolerance to my sleep aids. I am going to ask my pdoc for a little more hydroxyzine since I have been on the same dose for almost 3 years. Something has got to give. On the upside, had a very fun filled weekend with my good friend that stayed over, but it was so exhausting. Then another friend is coming to stay over next weekend, but it should be a lot of fun because there is a Halloween Fair and a Fall Festival next Saturday. I'll try to go to one or both. Just so darn tired though, ugh, lol. __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

Oh my god. SO many submissions to read for the ezine. I'm accepting into January now. Our little ezine is getting noticed. We were mentioned in a podcast and listed in Duotrope (hence suddenly getting SO many submissions!). I was reading submissions for four hours straight and I'm still not caught up.
Mood-wise I still feel like crying, but hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. My SI thoughts aren't too bad, so that's good. Didn't tell my hormones obsessed therapist about those because I was worried she'd commit me. She's done it in the past. And the hospital would NOT be good for me right now. All I would do is sit there and cry and miss my family and go through med withdrawal and my anxiety would skyrocket. My therapist recommended I hold off on writing that letter/text to my mom expressing my feelings about our non existent relationship and how she fukked me up until I start to feel better again, and that's probably a good idea. __________________ The darkest of nights is followed by the brightest of days. 😊 - anonymous The night belongs to you. 🌙- sleep token "I'm scared.

@Nammu I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad. I hope the Seroquel helps. It worked rapidly for me when I went on it for sleep. I think maybe even the first night. The tablets are tiny. I have to cut them into 4ths so I have my PRN doses. That's a good time....I don't know why they don't make 25 mg tablets. I am so glad 988 was helpful. I hope you get a very restful night. Are you going to celebrate your grandson's birthday tomorrow?
I think I'm going to sleep tonight. I'm getting tired and that's a good sign. Now to control the nightmares. I keep wondering if I should reduce the dose of my AD patch but I don't think I'm manicky. I can sit still for a long time. I just watched an entire college football game, beginning to end and even though it was loud I was able to enjoy it. I couldn't do that if manicky. I'm anxious, have some racing thoughts from that, but I'm not agitated. Those things are just the signs that I'm fine as far are my mood being up. __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, GAD, OCD.
