Re: Want to go to sleep
Hi @Chris, sorry you are going through a rough time. I know how awful medication changes can be. Not sure what other stress is happening for you, but it sounds hard. Would it be so bad to sleep a bit more of the time than usual at present? Depends if you have the space to allow it, I guess. I don't think lots of sleep is advisable generally, especially not if it becomes a habit, as it has with me at times. But for short, acute periods, I personally think it can help. Wishing you well.

Re: Want to go to sleep
There are four major situations hapening at the moment. I know i should take a step back, but its like it just goes back and forth between them all.All family related.
Medication came about becuse of being very ill physically. Toxic levels built up. It was stoped then reintroduced a week later, but the same thing hapened. So stopped again permanently. Mood swings are bad. Trying to use distraction at the moment, not working terrible well though. Getting to the point i think i will have to ring the crisis line.

Re: Want to go to sleep
It can be really hard to take a step back from things in the moment, I know you've had ongoing tricky situations iwth family for a long time too from your earlier posts a while ago i think...
Glad you are here seeking some support, hope that it helps a little!

Re: Want to go to sleep
Hi @Chris,
Just thought I'd check in and see how you are going today? I can see that some of our members gave you some great support here and I hope that helped you. I thought I would also point you in the direction of a few fun threads in case you ever feel like a distraction - do you like crosswords? At the moment we have been learning a bit about how to do a crypic crossword but sometimes we will also play some normal ones here
Or maybe you like cats? This is where most people come and say a nice good morning to start their day!
