Today I ........

I take sleeping pills so it’s not necessarily getting to sleep that’s the issue it’s staying asleep. I typically wake up at least a few times at night but I’m able to get back to some state of sleep… Lately I’ve been waking up and tossing and turning.

As for solutions to my anxiety I may need to be medicated again (either anti depressants or taking a short term anti-anxiety med). I really don’t want to get in to what’s causing some of my anxiety at the moment but I’ll say that what’s bothering me is like an itch that I can’t scratch or an itch that just won’t go away. Like I said I may need to get some temporary anti-anxiety medication before it calms down… We’ll see.

CBD oil changed my life. Cos Australia is backwards, i had to do a year on anti-anxiety meds first. I hated it cos i didn't feel like me, like i was either on a time delay or talking reaaaaaaly fast. Then i got onto a trial of CBD. since then i've diagnosed with ptsd & c-ptsd and i honestly don't think i could function without it.
Hope it's all going OK for you & you've caught some ZZzeds :sleep:

Good to hear. As cannabis is legal in Canada I’ve tried self-medicating to varying degrees of success. Luckily I was able to shake things over the weekend and episodes like I had are relatively few and far between.
 
Today I... am feeling old when I turn on morning television and Channel 7 are showing an episode of the Today Show featuring a full concert of an artist I've never heard of, complete with hundreds of screaming fans with banners featuring her name.
Renee Rapp, anyone??
Google says she was born in 2000. Which is like, yesterday.

Tonight this is my vibe…

I couldn’t get this all in one post… So I moved at the end of June from a quiet neighbourhood just outside of the downtown core to pretty much downtown Calgary. I was a bit apprehensive about it but I think I found myself a nice little spot. My view is a bit obstructed but can't complain as Telus Sky still shines through it and in the day I love the greenery.
 
So just got back from a mini family reunion and I had a surprisingly good time. Got to hang out with couple of second cousins that are of a similar age that I’ve known since they were kids but am only just starting to get to know as adults. I live in the same city as one so hopefully getting to connect a little more often.
 
So today I decided to deactivate my social media accounts and deleted dating apps from my phone in an attempt to help me recover from this up and down anxiety I’ve been having over the last month or so. I feel like I’ve been spending way too much time seeking validation from people I don’t really think care too much or simply don’t have the time. The same applies to dating… I thought given my recent weight loss that I was ready to dip my toe in the pool again but I guess I was wrong. I guess I just need to focus on being single AF.

Good for you. Got to look after number one. Hope you feel better for it. x
 
Well day 3 without IG, FB, or any of the dating apps and it’s still taking some adjustments. Thinking two weeks might be a nice enough holiday but haven’t made any clear decisions just yet. I don’t think anyone has noticed me missing or if they have they haven’t bothered to reach out.

Also I went to my family doctor today and started an antidepressant and got a small prescription for an anti-anxiety med that I can take if/when it becomes unmanageable. I also got an 8 week accommodation for work so I’m also not dealing with needing to be on the phones. Not sure what I’ll be doing but I’d literally scrub toilets than be on the phones right now.
 
Facebook, the tool of the devil.

I reckon social media sites should be banned. Booted out. Cut off from our brains.
 
Not today, but last Thursday I went in to Sydney Eye Hospital for emergency retinal repair and vitrectomy. I had flashes in my left eye.
Currently off work for a few weeks. Have a gas bubble in eye to keep retina in place ... Google it, it's weird. I'd never heard of it before.
The hardest part has being I have to lay down 20 hours a day. Ten of them I've assigned to bed time, the other ten on the sofa, the four upright hours, getting up, dressed, food times and loo breaks and going back to bed again.. Worst part is I am only allowed to lay on my right side.
Day 4 today.
I go to see the surgeon tomorrow and hoping to hear good news.
I haven't had any negative symptoms so fr, so I guess that's a positive.
So bed time at the moment is 6pm.
All my TV viewing is now day time. Thank goodness for recordings.
