Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8

I'm doing ok. How are you? What does the sleep study involve?

Thank you @Former-Member @Blackbird11 @Snowie

Hahhah @Former-Member that's okay.

Yeah, the cognitive stuff and MRI went okay; it was for some research.

I arrive at 7 pm, get set up, and can relax, then sleep and get woken up at 6 am to take everything off and have a shower, then some breakfast, and I go. I think I will see the specialist next week.

Things aren't the best, but I'm trying to distract myself from studying. I've just applied to change my degree from a bachelor of health science majoring in nutrition to adding a bachelor of science majoring in biochemistry and so I'm trying to do an online module on calculus to see if I can handle it.

I'm all ready to go. I've put on my pyjamas and am waiting for the nurse to do the wires.

How is everyone tonight?

Re: Not Coping

They’re usually really interesting to see the results @Birdofparadise8 🌺🙂

I spent a few years setting people up in all the equipment and monitoring them in real time overnight, which was fascinating as a health professional to observe sleep disorders as-they-happened. I used to take very good care of my patients, and I hope these guys do the same for you ☺️🙌🏻🌺

I hope you get some sleep, and they take you through what all the wiggly lines mean afterwards 🙂

take care and catch you tomorrow 🌺

Re: Not Coping

Yes, it will be cool. Wow, you have had a few jobs @Former-Member

Yes, they seem nice so far.

Are you going? I'll be around for a few more hours if you want to chat.

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 I hope you are able to get some insight on your sleep from the study.

The darkness outside has overtaken my brain

Re: Not Coping

I hope so, too. I'm always so tired so it would be good to know if there is something wrong.

Oh no I'm so sorry @creative_writer

What happens when it is dark outside? How does it affect your brain?
