I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24,

Living on your own definitely makes buying a big variety of food harder, especially when things are expensive. How was your psych appointment?

I’m sorry that you had a terrible nights sleep. It’s so frustrating when you feel tired but you’re struggling to sleep, especially if your minds keeping you awake.

I can understand why you’re worried about going backwards after working so hard to get yourself stable but try not to let one bad night convince you that you’ve undone all that progress. It sounds like your mind just wouldn’t switch off last night.

Hopefully you can take things as easy as possible today and just get through until you can have a proper sleep tonight. Be kind to yourself today 💛

Hi @MissGremlin

I just wanted to check in this morning and see how you're going?

After everything you’ve been through over the last few days, it makes sense that you’re feeling completely exhausted and like you’ve got nothing left to give.

Please keep reaching out for support today, especially if those urges become harder to manage. You don’t have to face this moment on your own 💛

Morning @Nala2022, I'm really not in a good way. I think I might have serotonin syndrome with what I've done to myself. I'm going to try to ring my doctors when they open this morning. I can't stop shaking, I keep getting really hot and sweaty even though it's cold here. I couldn't sleep last night, I've only managed to have 9 minutes of deep sleep out of the 3 hours I did get. I'm safe and doing my morning routine, I'm just about to try to drink a cuppa.

How are you doing sweet?

Morning @Captain24, I'm sorry you had a crappy nights sleep. How are you feeling?

I’m really sorry you’re feeling so awful this morning @MissGremlin. I’m glad you’ve told us what’s happening and that you’re safe. I hope you’re able to have that cuppa and take things gently today.

Because you’re worried you may have serotonin syndrome and you’re experiencing shaking, feeling very hot and sweaty and barely sleeping, please don’t wait if your symptoms are getting worse or you’re feeling seriously unwell. It would be important to seek urgent medical help, including calling 000 if needed. I really hope you can speak with your doctors as soon as possible and get some help with what’s going on 💛

I’m doing okay lovely, thank you for asking. Slowly waking up, I’ll make a coffee soon

@Nala2022 I'm just trying to take things very slowly but I will reach out to 000 if I need to. This is my own fault, I'm feeling so stupid for doing this to myself. I'm safe, drinking my cuppa.

I'm glad you're doing ok sweet, hope the cuppa helps to wake you up ❤️.

Please don’t be so hard on yourself @MissGremlin. Whatever happened, you don’t deserve to be suffering like this. I’m glad you’re taking things slowly, having your cuppa and keeping yourself safe. Please keep listening to your body and don’t hesitate to reach out for help if things get worse 💛

Thank you, my cuppa definitely helped wake me up a little! 😊

My psych appointment was great. @Nala2022. I use to finish it needing a sleep but now I leave it feeling invigorated! We work on some hard stuff but with everything there is progress. I told her that I think I might be a really good friend. Which is massive. Plus the is a very very slight little crack in me thinking I’m a bad person. We also worked on a few things to try at work. I’ve recognised that my feelings are RSD related which decreases my confidence. Being able to identify that is massive as well. It was really good and encouraging appointment.

I’m having trouble with this CPAP machine but I have an appointment today about it. It’s kind of keeping me awake or just in a light sleep. Every time I roll over I wake up. It makes me cough. It’s really hard to describe. But even when I took it off I couldn’t sleep. My mind just wouldn’t stop and then when I did doze off I had dreams that were like real. Fit into current life. The kind of stuff you talk to someone about and then remember it wasn’t really a conversation it was a dream. That’s tiring in its self. I’m not a big dreamer.

I am worried but I need to stay positive and try and keep focusing on routine and self care.

Im going I take it easy by mowing and whipper snippering my back yard. It’ll take just over 2 hours! I have a big back yard! It’s out of control so could take longer but it has to be done even with my sprained ankle as it’s snake season and they could easily hide in there. My estate is really bad for snakes. I had a massive brown snake in my backyard 2 years ago. It was over 2 metres long.

How are you feeling today?

Sorry you are going through so much @MissGremlin please look after yourself.

I’m just going about the motions but I am ticking things off!

@Nala2022 I've rang my doctors and they're going to talk to him when he comes in and hopefully he can give me a call. I'm hoping i can manage this at home rather than going to hospital but it depends on the severity of it. I'm meant to have my support worker today aswell.

I'm so glad the cuppa helped to wake you up sweet ❤️.
