Re: Not myself

No sleep last night. And today I'm being really hard on myself, can't help it. Feel down. It will get better, just don't know when.

Feel defeated.

Re: Not myself

Hi @AngelB , am sorry to hear things are pretty bad at the moment, and that you're feeling defeated.

The lack of sleep wouldn't be helping...is this happening a lot?

Best wishes for some improvement soon...

Re: Not myself

@AngelB I'm sorry to hear that...I actually didn't know that insomnia was a side effect of medication.

Is there any way your doctor could prescribe a sleeping tablet for a little while?
