Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

@Bubbles3I know from speaking to you before that once you have your night meds you fall alseep quickly and stay asleep. I am sure you have spoken to him about it before but it might be worth mentioning it again just so he knows it is the meds.

Have you got anything planned for the holidays with your kids?

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

well i want to go camping so trying get hubby into the idea. @Former-Member

i love camping

In response to: Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

That sounds like it would be good with the kids @Bubbles3 but in summer? Wouldn't it be too hot? Is there a certain place you normally go to?

My idea of camping is a motel room!!! I am such a not camping person!!!

I took the kids to see Jumanji at the movies today, it was really good and really funny too.

Hello @Bubbles3

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

Hi @outlander day meds staying the same, just adding to the night meds and a new prn med to try as my last ones were ok but not as effective as they should be. I know he is a pdoc, but really is a doctor, all about numbers. Instead of asking how the nightmares have been, he asks how many I have had in the last week! I have to keep a mood journal for him and write down whenever I have a nightmare, flashback, anxiety attack, prn's, SH and thoughts about SI and give it to him each time.

Thankfully my psych is totally different!!

Anyway, enough about me, how are you going today sis?

Re: RE: Darkness surrounds me

Well thats good at least not a total med change @Former-Member
Lol yep sounds like my pdoc not how are they its how many lol.
I think hes trying to work out a pattern with the mood journal. My psychologist made me do something similar. Not so much the meds part but all the triggerrs, and nightmares etc in the day with the physical symptoms plus what worked as in coping strategies. It said it provided her with answers so... i hope thats the same for you to.

Im ok. Taking it hr by hr but im ok. Its been another big day so just chilling at home in the quiet now
