Can’t sleep. I slept well last night because I was all fever and tired from the shot but now I’ve been staring at the ceiling for like and hour and a half. Tried to sleep but just can’t. Hopefully I’m not up until 2am again. This is so boring I hate it.

If I had a Seroquel I’d take one right now and be done with it.

Gotta keep a note how my sleep is for when I see my doctor next.

Melatonin? I don’t have anything and I’m awake too…not sure why.

I’ve never tried. I’ve never had such trouble before falling asleep. Well maybe not true. I was on seroquel for a while there when my sleep was bad but idk how to compare.

I eventually fell asleep around 11pm and just woke up (550am) so I guess that’s not bad. I just need to watch out if I’m sleeping like three hours again and not needing sleep.

Apparently a rarer side effect to lamotrigine is trouble sleeping.

Thanks I didn’t realize that. I thought they would have to do something similar to when all of my wisdom teeth were taken out by an oral surgeon. They were all compacted and didn’t grow in at all so I had to be under anesthesia while they cut all four of them out from my gums and stitched the socket up. I wasn’t awake for any of that. I’m just afraid of anesthesia so I don’t want to have that again.

Spent the morning coloring and drinking a coffee, then playing with Mustachio (Maybelle is more of a lay around kind of cat, she does play but not as often as Mustachio, Maybelle is old 13 years old so she’s calmer) so I just played with Stash and gave maybelle attention too. Fed them, ate breakfast, took my morning meds , brushed my teeth.

Getting on the treadmill later then doing some cleaning in my apartment, and then taking a shower.

I fell asleep while listening to a 18 minute guided meditation last night. I forgot to take my Bluetooth earbuds off because when I woke up my earbuds were scattered around the bed and my Fitbit app was still open and it apparently logged the entire time because it said my meditation session was like 9 hours long

They didn’t give me anesthesia just a shot.

I was accidentally triggered by my doctor the other day when I told him about my eating disorder. Keep thinking about things and feel this revitalized urge to not eat. I weighed myself after not weighing myself since Christmas.

I feel this urge to lose as much weight as possible as soon as possible.

I was doing well but talking about it made it worse? Idk. Idk really.

I was having anger issues at one point…same thing…talking or even thinking about it made it ten X worse.

I'm really depressed. It feels like everything is going against me. I'm gonna ask about going back on Prozac again. That means I won't be using psychedelics or anything. I want to completely stay away from alcohol as well.

Until then, I'll take phenibut.

I don't care if the Prozac numbs me right out. I really don't. I've had enough.

WastingAsparagus · Jan 14, 2023 at 03:47 PM

I went back on 15 mg aripiprazole cause my depression was acting up again.

WastingAsparagus · Jan 14, 2023 at 03:57 PM

My pdoc was being foolish in suggesting that aripiprazole cannot be combined with other antipsychotics, and thinking that my mood issues had to do with anxiety, when in reality they were depression issues due to him taking me off of Zyprexa and Abilify simultaneously, which is silly in the first place, due to it being impossible to tell which thing had which effect, in that case, and even still he was combining Abilify with Zyprexa before so that negated his entire argument. So he increased my Klonopin to 3 mg, which I have since reduced to 2 mg at least, and I'm planning on going down on Klonopin more, since I have heard bad things about being on high doses of it.

WastingAsparagus · Jan 14, 2023 at 03:58 PM

Anyway, luckily, when I move, I will have a new pdoc who knows what he's doing more than this one.

I’m pretty sure abilify can be combined with other APs. I’m on both abilify and Thorazine

I hope things go well with the klonopin reduction

Thanks. I hope it helps too. I think it is already helping a little.

This trip is just stressing me out to the max. I guess I probably shouldn't go. Dang.

It will feel better once you’re there. Avoiding things makes it worse.

Blue_Bird · Jan 14, 2023 at 09:15 PM

My anxiety gets really bad at night time because I know I'll have to go to sleep at some point. It scares me. I'm afraid of dying in my sleep. I have no control over whether I die or not in my sleep, I can't predict life but it still scares me and makes me try to avoid sleeping as long as possible. it's a battle every night to get myself to lay down and close my eyes. I told my therapist about it and she said one thing I can think to reassure myself is that I have age on my side (I'm 28 years old) and I am healthy/have no physical health issues.

Once I fall asleep it's fine, I sleep good since starting the trazodone. It's getting myself to not fear going to sleep is the issue. It makes me really panicky when evening approaches because I know at some point I'll have to go to sleep

Anyway , I finished a book today. It was 378 pages. I read the last 200 pages today. I'm proud of myself because my focus has been so bad for so long and I've been unable to finish books. I start one, then start another instead, then pick another, on and on I can't make up my mind or stick with any so I just give up. I read a lot the previous years 45-55 books a year. I've barely read lately.
