Hi, Can't sleep. School starts for my nephew tomorrow so it's an early start. I have to go to the mechanic to register my car and I am not sure it will pass inspection. Then I am going to go to park at the river. I want some quiet and alone time. I know that's breaking the safety plan but I think it will be ok.


Yesterday, I sent my therapist a text msg that gave him an indication that I was having a hard time. He replied with the standard 'call lifeline or go to hospital' msg. I don't know why he does it, he knows I won't call them or go to hospital. Now I don't want to face him on Friday. Stupid thing for me to do. I am switching a lot and there is a lot of fantasizing (derealization too) and chatter going on, everytime I try to sleep. I usually have to sleep with a movie playing in the background but it's not working so well tonight. Going to give it another go.

Hi @Lemonjuice, I don't think I've met you here before so hello and welcome 🙂

It sounds like it was a rough night last night. I hope tonight is better.

How did today go? Did you end up having some alone time at the river?

There is a discussion over here called "Night shift" if you're up late again and feel like chatting to other forumites. Or feel free to start a new topic like you've done here.
