Hello 👋

[Meredyth49]

@tyme @SkySeeker22 @ It's not a really new med but the first one given to assist with sleep due to my over-active brain - racing & intrusive thinking pattern which spirals out of my control and before I know it, 8 hours have passed

They tried me on the slow release version of this particular med, it made me too drowsy. Then swapped to the regular version which was better for me. I was on a higher dosage, recently my new doc cut it back as I was still too drowsy to function. I am tired all the time anyway on top of it all. 

My brain can still override the med though. I am my own worst enemy as I also love being a night owl due to the atmosphere of peace it brings me. ✨️ 

Sometimes if I have a morning appointment, I will stay awake all night due to my anxiety over it, then won't sleep until that night. I don't want to sleep in the day as much as I do. But when I am asleep I love it as my dreams are interesting and vivid and they give me some joy. 

I like to think sleep is healing for me, as it rests my brain away from the worries of this world, but I'm also aware too much sleep can be unhealthy. I often hold conflicting thoughts of opposite views, like i am a paradox of thoughts and ideas, which make it even more complicated. 

Virtual party would be lovely.  

I will be the nervous, awkward one in the corner who discovers the owners pet and be conversing with it instead of the other people. 😁

Hi @Meredyth49 

I can hear that you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed and frustrated by your recent mental health diagnosis and the challenges in finding the right treatment and support, it’s completely understandable.

Navigating this system can be so complex, and the mental load that comes with it can feel like too much at times.

Finding the right medications, therapies, and professionals to create a stable plan takes time, and I’m sorry that this process has felt like a barrier to getting the care you need.

But please remember, you’re here, actively reaching out for support and learning how to manage these new challenges.

That’s a huge step, and it speaks to your resilience.

Take things one day at a time, and please be gentle with yourself along the way. Things can, and often do, improve with time.

Kindly Alisse
