@Dreamy to be honest, things got really challenging and I'm trying to find my feet again.

I umm...went through/am still going through about four weeks of intense insomnia, which brought me to the edge with my mental health and I made some silly decisions - one in particular. I'm okay. I took myself off to an urgent care clinic, they turned me away because they couldn't support me, and I had to wait two weeks to see my GP. I got through those two weeks because of the forums and the support I found here. I finally got in to see my GP on Wednesday of last week and she's put me on meds to support my sleep. I have a few physical things going on - I have to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours, and that's being put on me this Thursday and need to have bloods. I have a history of heart palpitations and before she can adjust my meds, and put me on something to help me manage my panic attacks, she needs to make sure that my heart is still travelling along okay. So, I'm really anxious about that and I'm trying not to think too far ahead and freak myself out about it. 

So that's me in a nut shell really. I'm just trying to stabilise myself and find solid ground. 

How are you going?

@NightFury firstly i just want to say that I'm sorry i haven't been here for you. Please know that I've thought about you everyday while I was unable to access this space. I've missed being able to connect with you and others here.

I've been following along with what's been happening since I haven't been here and I'm sorry things were so tough. I'm glad you've finally got some support when it comes to sleeping and I hope things continue to improve there. I was reading about the heart monitor and I know how daunting that can be, I've had to do it myself a few times now. Fingers crossed it all goes ok and the blood tests aswell. I'm thankful that you have still been getting support here. 

As for me well I'm doing as ok as I can be given certain situations.

For some reason, I can't support posts again @Dreamy damn gremlins.

I have missed being able to connect with you too, and have thought about you often. It's good to "see" you and chat with you again. 

[Dreamy]

@NightFury oh no, not the supporting posts gremlin back again 😂.

I'm happy to be back and look forward to our chats again ❤️. 

Have you got anything planned for the evening?

hello lovelies @Dreamy @NightFury just popping into say hi! it's so good to see you both 💗

[NightFury]

@Dreamy I am trying to jam in an hour of study now!

I have my final counselling appointment for Guided Recovery in about twenty minutes. Not sure how I'm going to feel after that, so I'm just playing this evening by how things feel.

Hi @rav3n I don't know why, I've been around, but it feels like it's been a while.

[Dreamy]

@NightFurygood luck with the study.

I hope the last appointment goes ok. I'll be around if you want or need to chat after. Remember to be gentle with yourself, you've got this sweet ❤️.

[Dreamy]

Hi @rav3n, hope you are well. 

[rav3n]

i feel that too @NightFury! i had some changes in my schedule + was busy behind the scenes so i wasn't on the main forums as much this last month and i feel like i'm out of the loop! when changes occur i go a bit quiet and slow down, but next week i'll be back to my old schedule/routine so hopefully i'll be back 'in the loop'.

hope your studying and guided recovery session goes okay!! 

[rav3n]

hope you're well too @Dreamy, it's lovely to have you back!!
