I hate to get depressed on you guys

But ive been alone most of the time for 10 years almost. 9 1/2 exactly.

Only about in august i started attending group again and going to see my peer worker on monday. And entered a healthy relationship for the first time in my life. But im still in a extremely deep loneliness. Its just crazy depressing to be alone for me. It would make sense if i had a balance or maybe more time not alone THAN alone. But its the total opposite.

Have you tried metformin yet? It’s over the counter in the US but is the natural sleep hormone.

Apple slows down older phones dramatically to try to prolong batteries. That should be a setting option... Kinda forces people to get a newer phone.

She definitely meant Melatonin. Metformin might give you anxiety, help you lose weight, and prevents diabetes.

Each step forward gets you closer to balance. This is why we are always saying you should volunteer. A lot of people do the soup kitchen thing on Christmas or thanksgiving because they’ll be alone and they get something from it.

It’s only on phones with failing batteries, if you replace the battery it goes back to normal.....

It’s true but mostly the pro choices have their own drawbacks, seroquel, benzos or z drugs. My friend was on an AD that helped sleep but given your response to ADs I’d avoid that too.

No. The gabapentin is supposed to be an anxiety reliever/sleep aid. But it doesnt really do anything for sleep. Its a crap medicine in general. Havent been on the ambien for over a year now along with the xanax.

Im gonna have to resort to over the counter stuff for sleep. Not that i mind its just a hassle because thats just extra money down the drain having to buy constantly buy otc sleep aids every week or so.

Melatonin was cheap for me like $12 for 100 much cheaper than a script.

Do you think it could be the drinking? Alcohol doesn’t mix well with any of the antipsychotics.....

Nope must have missed it.

Well I’m going to be changing jobs and moving probably further into the burbs so I guess I’ll just resolve to study instead of playing on PC all day......
