Unhappy forgiving and judging

Thanks Mari. Yes, sleep is good regardless when it happens.

Forgive myself... yes, i'll try. or perhaps try not to judge myself for it in the first place. Then i wouldn't even have to forgive myself. But it is hard. Either one.

I am having.... "mental health issues" (as Bizi put it - love it!) and environmental triggers. I am still more depressed than i thought... it is not secondary to anxiety, and have become more anxious again (reactive anxiety). It seems it only takes a kick from someone when i'm starting to feel better to knock me out for the count and KO for several days or weeks, depending.

this is not good. i too want to be well, desperately. there is no one here (physically) who understands what i am up against except my t-pdoc.

i live in a noisy environment and i cannot wear earplugs 24/7 (i wear them often). i hate noise. i am so sensitive to everything. all of that is absent in the night. true, i have to be quiet too, i couldn't sing or anything, but oh well, in the day i don't dare.

and apart from always having been a night owl, the night feels somewhat "safer" for me when i am like this. also more private. i still fought sleep the pattern - with some success, but yesterday was a bad day, so i did not fight sleeping in the day... hence the "set back." sleep is an escape, and i don't need one in the night.
