Doing insane things

Doing insane things

Hi. My first post. Really feeling ashamed today. I have mental health problems and night terrors.

Ive moved back to Sydney. I’m an artist and cleaner. Today I couldn’t work. I had a few drinks last night. I rang again a guy I went out with when I was 15!!! A long time ago. He has schizophrenia. Also an artist.He has a girlfriend and I keep ringing and sending messages. Told him to block me last night. I did see him 12 years ago.

I feel so stupid and ashamed!!! I was going to call 000 last night and get them to take me to the psyche ward. I don’t understand myself.
Feeling really bad about myself.

Re: Doing insane things

You're completely on track @lumberdead .

No need to apologies. I hear you and I get it.

Nowadays, my curiosity may rise, but I stay well away of certain social media platforms. I keep my sanity that way 🙂

Thank you,

tyme

Re: Doing insane things

hey, I had a sleep test done and the findings were that my mind carries on twice as much as when I'm awake. I already knew that because when I wake up my sheets and pillows are everywhere except on the bed. lol but. They prescribed me CBD oil. works a treat. mite be something worth looking at.

Re: Doing insane things

@Jim3 Wow. Thanks so much for this information! Yeah. I’m onto it. After 15 years of this nightly I’ve got another appointment at Drs. She is looking for a sleep clinic. My cousin last night knows that there is one here in Sydney. Once she heard my recordings she was a little worried. I’m just over it I guess. I believe too my mind is more active at night when I’m asleep. Constant dreaming, yelling, talking etc. I’m sure I live off adrenaline during the day. Cousin talked about trauma counselling as well. I’ve had a lot of counselling in my life but obviously not the yet.
I get the bed ending up on the floor lol. I often wake up saturated as well.

CBD oil apparently does wonders in lots of areas. Never thought about sleep. I’ll be asking about it for sure. Drs tried different meds for a while but that just messed with my emotions.
