Time to make some coffee and read.

I filled out my 3 month goals in my planner. They’re:
To use the treadmill frequently, get a dental cleaning/exam and work done if necessary, get new glasses with updated prescription, lose 5lbs, finish re-reading the A song of ice and fire series. And I wrote down rewards for achieving each goal.

I’m obsessed with goals and making good habits/breaking bad habits

I had a slight panic attack today but that's after not having any for like 40 days so that's really good progress

I'm not sure if I want to get off some of my meds. Because I'm doing well. Idk though, they may be the reason I'm doing well it's hard to tell

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

So if you’re feeling good and stable I would leave well enough alone for now.

I’m gonna see if I can take a break from internet (except Netflix) for a month. Connect to my surroundings and focus on reading a lot, exercising, meal prepping, cleaning. Take a break from the information overload and constant scrolling.

I just wonder why is it a month cold turkey. Why not try reducing slowly? You’d had a better chance of succeeding. Maybe reframe it instead of going cold turkey of no social media to limiting to an hour a day and block off time for other activities.

It’s a pandemic and there’s not much for real life socializing so you need some outlet and lifeline of support and you’ve admitted in the past of this forum being helpful. There’s nothing wrong with some internet usage.

I just don’t want to see you disappointed or isolated.

I’ve been awake for 24 hours and I don’t know if I can sleep.

When in doubt, you will fall asleep and have good REM dreams.

Thank you, yeah maybe you're right, I'll try to set a limit instead

Blue_Bird · May 08, 2021 at 04:45 AM

I’ve been up all night tonight and this has been my sleep the past few days

Blue_Bird · May 08, 2021 at 04:50 AM

I’m eating like everything in sight. I think I’m having pms , at least it should be happening around now and it feels that way. I usually try to stick to my meal plans but I guess a couple days a month of eating whatever the hell I want isn’t so bad

All I want is one good night of rest. And it seems impossible.

Are you still drinking a lot of caffiene?

Some, not much though

Actually it's more than I thought. I went through that whole thing of iced coffee I posted on Facebook in 2 days, and a quart of coldbrew. Plus hot coffee. Omg, what's my problem. No caffeine for me for the next week

Blue_Bird · May 08, 2021 at 06:14 AM

I need to get on the treadmill today. I don't feel like it, I'm exhausted, but I guess I'll try dragging myself out of bed and doing it a little later. I have to at least start somewhere

Blue_Bird · May 08, 2021 at 06:18 AM

I don't know how I didn't realize I'd gone through that much coffee recently, I just drink it and forget I'm even drinking it

I have some books being delivered today!

Why did I think this thread had 100 pages just as of yesterday? Did something change? Or was I just misreading it? I was about to make a new roll call last night, hah.

I love you but these numbers aren’t good. Maybe try limiting your caffeine a bit - but don’t stop completely that’s how you get bad withdrawal.

I think you should think about maybe even leaving a message for your doctor especially if reducing caffeine doesn’t work. I hate to say it but this much lack of sleep could be sign of hypomania and I don’t want you to slip into mania.
