Re: Am Not Coping
Goodnight @Zoe7 Hope your sleep is nightmare-free & long
Glad you’re feeling more relaxed @Former-Member. My 17 yo has just left for a driving lesson with my husband (apparently I don’t give enough instructions - fancy me not talking enough!?!)

Re: Am Not Coping
It’s hard finding a good doctor @TAB I’m still looking Given up. I just ask for sleep meds and prns. Had trouble getting them at one stage. doctors were reluctant to give them out. Finally I found one who can see I’m not a druggie. I’ve lived this long without overdoing it ever. I totally don’t look at all like a druggie.
It sucks when you don’t get anything to help pain.
Ugh. Driving lessons @Sam3 I’m totally over it. How are you tonight. Sooooo humid here.

Re: Am Not Coping
Unfortunately I'm quite depressed & anxious atm.
I'm not sleeping very well. I think sleep is the biggest factor atm.

Re: Am Not Coping
Hi @oceangirl I’m really sorry to hear that. Do you think there are contributing factors to you feeling worried & low atm? I find it hard to accept when my mood is low because there’s often suffering involved but I’m try to accept things more even when they’re unpleasant. Doesn’t make it much easier, but it’s probably easier than telling myself “I shouldn’t be like this”. What do you find helps (if anything) at the moment? Sending you comfort amidst the crappiness (grammar alert @MDT.
@Former-Member I concur with you that doctors with competence, empathy & mental health experience are not easy to find.
