Had my first session with this new guy yesterday. He’s quite nice, and we’ll see how things go, he gave me a bit of homework as it were. I stopped off for pizza afterwards, and got home around 6:00. I went to bed, and good Lord, when I woke up, it was 11:00 the next day! I finally pulled myself out of bed, took a shower, and ate some food. I still feel groggy and out of it a little bit, but hopefully the food will sync up with my metabolism. The new guy is nice, and we’ll see how things go with him. My mother’s friend’s daughter is seeing a psychiatrist who can actually prescribe medication and is seeing if I can get an appointment there as well. I don’t have super high expectations or feel particularly well right now, but at least this is an attempt at something.

Set an alarm for these sorts of things. If you are having long periods of insomnia you have to be wary of the rebound and not getting things you need to do done.

Well, it hasn’t interfered with my work as of yet. But it’s burning away my days off.

Seeing another psychologist today, might have a yet another lined up who’s an actual psychiatrist who can prescribe. My nerves are about as shredded as tires after a drag race, God only knows what will happen. I’m going to try to eat in a few minutes. Slept for a long, long time, and I’ll be honest, I’d still be sleeping if it weren’t for the appointment. I’m a mess.

I don’t understand exactly what is going with you, but I do really hope you get the help you need. I’m praying for you.

I appreciate it. It’s hard.

I hope so. Thanks to everyone for their kindness.
