Not Coping

[Jynx]

Here for you if you need @creative_writer  🤗💜

Yeah, I take an antipsychotic for me to sleep @creative_writer 

If you need the appointment earlier, will your pdoc be able to see you?

Do you just take it at night so you're not tired during the day?

@Birdofparadise8, I wouldn’t hug my psych on a reg basis. I have asked for a hug only once with my time with her, I was doing Telehealth during the appointment otherwise I think she would’ve hugged me. I take antipsychotics morning and night, a larger dose at night. Even if I upped my nighttime dose it will probably leave me groggy when I wake up so I’m trying to avoid it if I can. I think my pdoc might be able to see me if I wanted an earlier appointment.

Hi @Jynx, how are you? Having a rough afternoon, I’ve put on amber glasses right now because the light is making things worse. I am hoping by reducing sensory input I can ease the symptoms, I really don’t want to take another PRN

[Birdofparadise8]

Ah okay @creative_writer 

I'm trying to work out if it would be okay to ask mine when I see him on Thursday. 

Oh, morning, that would suck. It must be hard to stay awake.

@Birdofparadise8, I think I’ve gotten used to it. I take a tiny dose of SSRI in the morning which wakes me up.

I think I might be able to make it through without the PRN as long as I keep my amber glasses on and minimise light input. So weird, I think too much light can trigger mania symptoms for me 🤔. Though light and migraine connection is established

[Birdofparadise8]

Hmm, that is an odd one @creative_writer 

Have you felt like this since waking up?

Also, do you read? 

Hi @Jynx 

Do you read?

[Jynx]

I have some of those glasses too @creative_writer they're really helpful! The world is way too bright sometimes. Do you have anything you have to do today or can you focus on just regulating and relaxing? 

@Birdofparadise8 I do sometimes, but it can be a struggle with my ADHD. Whyso? Got a recommendation? 

[Birdofparadise8]

Do you like spicy books @Jynx?

@Birdofparadise8 I like hugs so yes.

Your psychologist hugs you @ENKELI?
