How are you feeling?

My sister has arrived She was upset with the way I am living my illness impact on other people. I must change. The stroke is a huge wake up call
Ignore her unhelpful comment, and concentrate on your healing Kiwong. :)
Family members who visit a relative in Hospital are supposed to say supportive and comforting things, not critical!

I think I need to make an appointment for a sleep study... was in bed for 24 hours again today and its becoming more of a common thing...

You should look into it if you're really interested, they pay pretty generously. I am waiting to hear back from one that would require me to be on site for 37 days and nights, but would pay $12,500. They're not all that long, I saw another for 5 days that pays $1,700.

I don't know what responsibilities or obligations you have day to day, but if you found one that fit into your life it could help you out in both sleeping and your wallet! :thumbup:

is it possible that you get someone to wake you up and then you go out and do things?

Not only do I not have anyone to do that for me, I know it wouldn't be possible. I just can't physically do it.

I tried making an appointment with my general doctor on Friday but he is over a month out.

I was convinced that maybe it was because I had been prescribed Ativan and was taking that at night as well as my "sleeping meds" Remeron. So last night I didn't take them, was in bed by 10pm. I feel asleep at almost 6 AM. Dragged myself out of bed to shower for work late in the day and went straight back to bed. I can't even put on makeup I'm so tired, and my face is horrible from crying for days. I just wake up and cry for hours now. I didn't make the appointment because I was trying to talk them into doing something sooner because I don't even know if I will be alive next month.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to just straight up switch general practitioners. I really don't like him as a doctor and last year he refused to refill my anti-depressants while I was in a crisis because "it didn't feel right" even though I was waiting months for a pych and could get it because there aren't enough doctors.

It's getting really rough and if I didn't have a problem with eating food right now I would most likely check myself into a mental hospital.

I feel like just deleting this, who the **** cares. I prayed to God, Jesus, my dad, Buddah, anyone that's out there. It never helps.

What? Do you live in the US? I've never heard anything like that, and I'm honestly confused to whether you know I'm talking about for a sleep study, I have a hard time remembering what day it really is.

I'd be pretty shocked, because I get state insurance.

Also realized I have been getting sleep paralysis, it has never involved demons or weird shit so I didn't think that's what it was. I do have disturbing dreams when it happens, just not as bad as what I heard is normal.

Totally agree that you should see a different GP, cappatown.
Not refilling your antidepressants while you were in a crisis, just because he thought it "didn't feel right" !? wtf! He sounds dangerously incompetent. :sad:
I hope your new your new GP is more understanding and can help you. Good luck.

Hopefully I can wake up tomorrow in time to do that. I can't wait over a month to see somebody right now. I told the ER today I didn't make that appointment because it was so far out that I didn't know if I would still be alive then.

The lady from Suicide Hotline suggusted maybe an eating disorder clinic would help me as well.

I feel like I should be inpatient SOMEWHERE just don't know where the best place would be. I've been to the mental hospital here and it's horrible I never want to go back there.

Sorry, maybe I didn't quite understand what you were talking about. I was thinking "sleep studies" as a literal study where people have you stay in the hospital an monitor your sleep, for science, both people with sleep disorders and without. For the state I live in there is a website with a list of different paid studies, from sleep studies to studies for people with about every different type of mental illness or chronic illness in the book.

Sorry you are going through a rough patch at the moment, I hope things turn for the better soon.

Surprisingly I felt good these past two days , but I have suppressed what I want to do due to anxiety and fear of the unknown. We will see if today is different.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
:idontknow: Don’t know what to do with my life, I feel devoid of any sorta purpose. Don’t feel that I really matter to anyone in my family. Well, I matter when it’s convenient to care. :sad: Stuck, I guess would be the best way of putting it.
 
This is where i'm at: F*CK THIS LIFE!!!
The boredom keeps reaching new heights.
I REALLY HATE my life, but that's nothing new.
I'd gladly swap lives with any of you.

Put yourself out of your comfort zone, travel. Even if its a day trip to the next town. You might find you enjoy it...

Go on slowest, I dare you!! ☺
