Jan. 20th, 2023 05:34 pm1. What keeps you up at night? My thoughts go crazy and won't shut up :P
2. How well do you operate on insufficient sleep? Not very..if I'm tired enough (like after flying to Europe), it feels like the floor is swaying under me
3. Under what conditions do you get your best sleep? In a warm cozy bed, dark but not TOO dark, feeling calm..
4. What unusual places have you slept in? I tried sleeping on the floor of an airport once..it's as uncomfortable as it sounds D:
5. What’s a good song about dreams or dreaming? "Dreaming" by Blondie..I love the line "dreaming, dreaming is free"..it sounds so calming
Hooray, I found a new psychiatrist!! I'm seeing her on Tuesday the 31st (it was supposed to be next week, but that particular psychiatrist wasn't seeing any new patients). I REALLY hope she can help me better than Larry can (I want to try Spravato, which is for treatment-resistant depression and has pretty good reviews.) My counselor also wants me to see a psychiatrist he says is really good, but I can't see him until May, so I need to see someone else in the interim. My health hasn't been great this week..on Wednesday, I felt so awful physically and mentally I slept till FIVE in the afternoon!! I'm taking an "official" Leave of Absence at work for at least four months (though of course I can go back sooner if I'm feeling better), and they're going to hire a temp person while I'm on leave..I'll still be an employee though. They're so awesome..they know how badly I've been struggling and want me to focus solely on getting better instead of worrying about whether I'll be able to get up in the morning or worrying my jobs aren't getting done..that did help me feel better when I woke up this morning. I can't wait to actually function properly again LOL
