I'm in the south of the state @Owlunar
The days are streching out a bit now which is so good for me. It means now that I am taking my 'dinner' meds in daylight before the anxiety of the nightime comes. When it was already dark when I was taking them my anxiety was alerady high and that often lead to me not sleeping at all and I couldn't take them any earlier when it was dark earlier because I would wake in the middle of the night - and that is the time when I am most unsafe - dark, on my own, scared, nightmares, etc.
I see my psychiatrist this Thursday and we really need to find a way to get on top of this sleep thing because although I am getting more sleep than I ever have - I am still having the nightmares - and most mornings I still wake not knowing what is real or what has been a dream. It does leave me in a constant state of fear and feeds into my physical pain - it really is a very vicious cycle.
