Thanks @Former-Member I'm hoping focusing on p photos might help
Is It ok if I make a new post in the interests part of the forum and tag a few people and share photos I have taken, ?
None will identify me

Thank you heaps, dear Lee 
and thank you for your kindness in it too.
And I'm sorry you're having a hard time focussing...but I understand how you want to try the pictures, to help you. Yes, the pic of your smart watch came up...I'm impressed how it records deep sleep and light sleep. Which do you go off, the total amount of sleep? @Lee71
I'm also sorry to hear your colour is changing today...that's not good. I hope it won't get too bad, Lee...

@Lee71 ... Can I suggest that you concentrate on placing yourself in the present.
Take note of items around you ... name what you see ... count them, note the colour, feel the texture, is there any smell (flowers, wood, food). What can you hear? What do you feel .. are you cold/hot/warm?
