I just had a quick catch up on your other thread so I've seen that you're being quite proactive. That's really good to see @outlander
Do you have the DBT book at home? And which one do you have? If you can send me a photo of it I might get the same one and we can work on the modules together.
It doesn't bother me that weren't here last. I'm glad you fell asleep. Did you sleep much?
I saw my new pyschologist today. It was an OK session. We set two small goals. To stay alive hour by hour, and to find something that gives me pleasure each day, no matter how small.
I'm worried that I seem to be increasingly disconnecting from life. When I went to the family gathering on Sunday, it felt so ackward, because I didn't have anything to say really. And also feel disconnected in other ways. I'm starting to space out quite a lot, almost to the point of disassociating. It's happening mostly when I drive,which is concerning.
Then I saw my pdoc this afternoon. I told her it's taking me twice as long to fall asleep than before. So she's increasing one of my meds.
That's about all today. Feeling quite low, just want to sleep all the time.
Going to feed the cats as I'm being bitten by the big boy.

Hi @Sans911 .... 💐💕
Vitamin levels can be something to keep in mind too. Iron and Vit D being out of whack have made us extremely lethargic at times, and one of mine is still in double-dose Vit D to try to rebuild their levels. Another was going out backwards with a hypothyroidism issue till it was discovered. Bloods are now the first thing I check.

My iron levels were down a month ago @Faith-and-Hope
but are essentially back to normal. I took a supplement which my GP wants me to continue for another month. Not sure about vit d levels. My GP is quite proactive about testing/treating things when I bring them up. I've been seeing her weekly for quite some time now, mostly for mh reasons, but tied in with that are physical complaints as well, so when I said I was extremely tired some weeks back, she did not hesitate to check my levels. I have to have regular bloods anyway due the potential effects of one of my meds.
My mother and brother have significant thyroid issues, almost on max doses of meds, but I've escaped that.

Glad you have dodged that one @Sans911. It came out of the blue for my girl .....
