It’s About To Begin

This past Thursday I got the letter I had been waiting for from the local CMHT. Or at least I thought I had. On first glance it was all well and good they wanted me to phone up and make an appointment. Good thought, then I went back over the letter and read it properly …

I Have Returned

Well, I am back from my holiday and things are getting back to their normal screwed up sameness. After two weeks of really good sleep (going to bed early and getting up at a reasonable time) I am back to waking up before 5 am and not being able to go back to sleep. This …

Sleepless

It’s almost 3.30 in the morning. It’s now Friday. I haven’t slept since 1pm Thursday. Not a big deal you’d think but I have been off the Zopiclone since Monday night and I miss my little Orange friends. As you may recall this is a conscious decision to stop taking them for a while to …

IT feels like that some times. I don’t feel particularly down tonight… a bit peeved that at ten to three in the morning I am not tired, Instead I am sat here typing this out and listening to the original concept album of Jesus Christ Superstar. It’s been a weird afternoon and evening. It started …

Sigh….

I swear at some point I will keep a blog running for more than two posts a month. For a half arsed explanation as to my absence it’s down to several things. I have been plagued by insomnia the past few weeks. I can go a few days sleeping normally and then it’s a week …

Lower.

It’s all a bunch of bullshit. It’s that plain and simple. I have been depressed now for 4 days and it seems to be getting worse. It started off my missing a dose of my medication and it kind of spiralled downwards from there. Going from restlessness to ambivalence to sleeping all the time to …
