Dark thoughts scaring me.

@Tigga321 ..... a sense of routine is important to providing structure to your day. I refer to it as scaffolding because you can keep attaching things to that once it is in place. It gives a rythym or pattern to your day, which supports circadian rhythms ...... your body’s natural health cycles ......

Try to go to bed at around the same time every night, even if you’re not sleeping much, and rest up with dimmer lights and a quieter atmosphere ......

Try also to get up at around the same time of a morning, and let some light into the house because taking daylight in through our eyes affects metabolism, our immunity, our circadian rhythms.

Try to set a breakfast time, lunch time, and dinner time, with at least a cup of tea mid morning, mid afternoon, and perhaps a chamomile tea before bed.

Try to establish a time of day to shower, or sponge bath, or whatever ......

Choose a day or two a week to do washing .....

Turn on some gentle music during the day perhaps.

It will help you to have this purpose, even if you can only achieve baby steps towards it to begin with.

Hi @Tigga321 i do apologize for not being here.
I tagged you into the coping thread for you to take a look at as well.
F&H is doing a wonderful job, always seems to know what to say ❤

@Tigga321Sometimes life and those feelings can change. 

My brother used to say that I was not living as I was in a lot of pain for a long time, but then he got cancer and died last year.  Family stuff is complicated and hard.

Faith's suggestions about routine are good.  My body clock was topsy turvy a while a couple of years ago but it is better now.  Saying that I need to say Good night.

Look after you, now you finally have the opportunity.
