@outlander. Thanks for asking, I am in the process of recovering from my psych apt yesterday actually. It always seems to take a while. Rehashing things, stirs everything up for a while. Like you, no sleep last night. I should have come on here too at 3am, as it sounds like I would have had company with you and @Mazarita. Perhaps next time, although I try to avoid the computer in the middle of the night, and dont like to get up and wander about as it disturbs hubby. Usually I just lie in bed and toss and turn and watch the clock every 15 mins. 
No, I dont have any exciting plans for today. Just usual household chores like a switch to winter quilts on the beds, a load of washing, meal preparation and a quick trip into town to pick up a couple of things I forgot to get yesterday. All most uninteresting! Might watch some footy later though. How about you @Spookytookims, I expect you'll be watching some footy over the weekend?
Hi to everyone else also.

good morning @Former-Member yes i try to avoid going on my phone at that time of the night but i didnt even get to sleep until 5am this morning and woke up at 7.
yes i find it take a little while too but atm its never ending for me the thoughts and feelings and the panic attacks at the moment and i ahvent even set foot in trigger territory yet. we were only getting my SH and SI under control which i seem to be able to control for the moment and have quit alot of coping strategies to try first and if all fails i literally run out and throw out the object im enticed to use- im started to wonder if mum has noticed all the scissors and sharp knives dissapearing 
today my plans are just to chill, get some housework done-mainly catchin up on washing still from holidays and study and continue to fill in psychology papers to apply for free counselling and to also make a neat copy of what my counsellor and i were discussing about modd levels and monitoring yesterday
