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: Tw Not Coping

Are you able to call the GP or pharmacist @Kyle1 to ask what's the best time to take it?

Re: Tw Not Coping

I just take it before bed @Kyle1 but you’ll need like 12 hours sleep for it to wear off I’ve been so tired all morning.

Re: Tw Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8 Yeah,.. that's why I was supposing a little earlier in the evening might be worthwhile... to avoid the hangover effect when it would be an inconvenience...?

Re: Tw Not Coping

From my experience @Kyle1 (and that's all any of us here can go by as we aren't medical professionals), medication to aid sleep has been trial and error. I once took an over the counter sleep aid that did nothing. My friend took the same thing and felt like a zombie the next day.
