It is amazing how much a good night's sleep can change our attitude to everything @utopia.

So good to hear you have had a couple of nights sleep in a row and even greater to hear your suicidal thoughts have subsided

I watched a little bit of The Bachelor last night before I went to sleep early. I find that show silly too but like the bachelor on it so may watch again lol

It was extremely windy and I wasn't feeling good so took meds early - didn't have a great night myself and still struggling a lot today - slept most of the morning and didn't make it to the pool - still tired and don't feel well so having a complete rest day today.

So pleased for you @utopia ..... the tide is turning ..... 👍

Love and hugs ❤️

So good that you're seeing some positives @utopia Sounds like excellent progress. Hope you're keeping Mr Anker in check

So happy for you @utopia that you’re getting some good sleep. Wish I could get some good sleep.

Thinking of you xxxooo

@Jupiter thank you. At the time I couldn't see that there would be any way out of the darkness. But there is definitely a light shining somewhere nearby.

@Zoe7 @BlueBay - sorry to hear you are both having trouble with sleep. No sleep or little sleep really wrecks havoc with our mental health. I hope you both get a decent nights sleep tonight.

Thank you @frog & @Faith-and-Hope.

I'm going on my first leave tomorrow. Nothing exciting but might take a calmer med before I go - just to be sure. Yep. I'm going to brave CentreLink on my own.

Finally had a shower and washed my hair and also got my clothes washed.

Just after 7pm and I'm so tired. The drawback of these new meds - extreme tiredness.

Braving Centrelink on your own is a big deal @utopia - goodluck Hon - hope it can be sorted out for you quickly

I have slept on and off nearly all day - but still hoping to sleep tonight - will have my meds a little later tonight and hopefully that helps. I had them really early last night because I wasn't feeling well - still not tonight but will push it out as long as I can.

So glad you got your clothes washed - and great that you have had a shower and washed your hair - all really positive things for you

Are you going to watch The Bachelor again tonight ...I may tune in for a little while myself lol

Yes @Zoe7 - but I've renamed The Batchelor - The Cat Fight. Such nasty cruel women and the blokes not my type. .

Off to sleep. Struggling to keep eyes open.

LOL - Goodnight @utopia I hope you have a long and restful sleep

Hi all. Went to CentreLink this morning. Was okish. Still don't understand it. But I will be getting more money - just a little less than before.

Saw my psychiatrist today. Feeling good. He's asked to speak to my mum - so I gave him permission. Because she is being so rude and unsupportive of me at the moment and really rude on the phone. He is going to explain to her the need for her to be supportive - to help in my recovery.

I have a feeling he'll be in for a shock - coz mum is likely to be angry that he didn't fix me first time round. Will wait and hear what happens when I see him on Monday.

It sounds like you are doing really well @utopia and some things are being achieved for you. It is great that the psychiatrist wants to explain it to your Mum - having her be less than supportive certainly is not helping you - you have enough to deal with without that.

I watched most of The Bachelor today - you are right - some of those women are nasty - don't think I will watch it again!
