Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member. Are you ok? Are you in respite now?

I'm such a sook sometimes. I try to be positive and strong, got a long way to go still. Lol 😀

Write things down maybe ?
Even if you can't actually number them in an order of priority, you might be able to sort of group them together .... tidy them into categories .... think of tidy-up baskets that you can park things up in where you can start to sort them out in baby steps ....
Its sort of a physical example, but if I walk into the kitchen and find it wrecked - ie clutter, mess, spills, dumped items - and I don't know where to start .... I just start somewhere .... I pick up the first thing I walk up to, and deal with that one thing .... then pick up something else ....
Things often work themselves into some sort of priority or order s you begin working with them .... I think you learn to just step out with one small thing at a time, and it begins to happen.
Is that any help ?

@TAB In some ways being sensitive is good, but some ways not.
I have the CBT book somewhere. Tried to find it other day.
Just read @Former-Member that you are in respite.
I hope psych appointment goes well.

Re: Sleeping too much
Yeah @Former-Member respite is a bit of an exaggeration, I'm in hospital. The respite service closed but this is called a planned admission, to avoid an unplanned one in an ambulance 😜
Its been pretty hectic in here, it's really busy and frantic. A few patients that have been detained have done runners today leaving staff tearing there hair out and the police involved. So not so much respite but has been a good reality check to see first hand the very slippery slope I was on.

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member Police, alarms going off, security guards everywhere but my silver lining, one I think @Faith-and-Hope will enjoy - not my circus not my monkeys. I don't have a guard (have before) and I'm actually feeling like I've progressed which I was struggling to see since last admission in February to the same ward.
