Deb. No matter what I do I will not be comfy. I have body damage from this. I have to heal and yes I did not have patience and why for my questioning what I know likely will work for me. I just got an email from a big website and she told me what she did and It is much like I am.
I guess I have to learn patience and yes I know it is not easy. I have to do it to recover. I am committed to recovery.
That was how I got this way as well. I am glad you found help quickly. I did not. They dragged their feet for months. I made progress when I started to do for myself and changed what they told me. That has been reminded me today of such things.
Thank you for this. I think you helped me. The points on ACT I believe are valid in what they say on their web site.
I think now everyone has their path to the goal. Itis not one size fits all.
I healing my damage by staying in bed after the stuff started and I was told to do SRT t ype stuff that I did not do well on.
Thank you. I got some thinking to do. Right now I am going to relax a bit and take the stress off of me.
I understand that they can be. I want to do them. I need to do so. I will get what info I have to fill out what you gave me. I think I have some since data last Thursday. I do not take meds of any type.
Yes doing this scares me to hell. I may have to hold back for a bit so I can go buy food and stuff to have around here so when I do it properly it works. I do not want to pace as the last time I was told to do stuff like this. That got very bad for me. It took me a long time to stop doing it and also recover mostly as I am now because I stopped doing it but I did keep an bedtime and a get up time and I stopped sitting on my bed all the time. I started to stay up longer too. I did start to do better but still had issues and I am tired of the issues. I am committed to doing what needs to be done. I am 64 years old and had medical issues caused by this.
I could not even talk right by studdering when I was at my worst sleep. I stopped all the meds and then I started to sleep once in a while. AFter I did try Medical MJ I did sleep normally a few times so that is why I know I can do so. I did not keep that up though. I slept sometimes in time and other times not so much due to the anxiety and panic. Me and stupid google. I had no guide in this so I have not been consistant in some things. Thank you for telling me the info is not accurate. My friend Katy said as much to me too.
I guess when the doc told me what to do and I read the book about it I went anxiety again. I was told not to read the book but I know this is the path out so I did. Even my counselor said in his class about this they said to do such. I just don’t want to be awake for a week at a time again and or pacing and go backwards.
I think you for answering my question. I have tried to pace today since I slept very little last night but so far I have kept that mostly under control but I did stand for a while and pace some. I did that to keep awake. I also when I did meditation at night via this computer I would dope off. Sometimes then I could go to sleep at night and sometimes not so much.
I can’t separate my bed from my living area. I have been here close to 20 years and it has not been an isssue til recently. I did have trouble sleeping once and it lasted a week and then I crashed and slept. I guess I did a kind of sleep restriction then in a way. I almost did this then but I slept and that was the end of it for me.
I had it when my before my son was born but that also resolved itself.
This one I took a med and had a bad reaction to it. Doc said it could trigger it so I am guessing my health issues and anxiety and the meds triggered it. I am willing to do CBT_I. My doc said there is a risk to it for me. So I guess he may have wanted me to work it out but with some sleep restrictions and that is hard of course. I started to do some of it before he told me to do some. I still had more time to rest if I needed it when I did it on my own. I did not stay in bed past 8am. So I left me 8 hours in bed. sometimes it felt pretty comfy but then ruminations came in too. I find less of that on this way but I find more panic in the day time.
I am trying not to talk of it too much but for here as I found that doesn’t help as well. I just don’t want to pace and get as bad as I was. But I know most are saying this is what I need to do. I will talk to my counselor. He is not an expert in it but he did take a class in it for me. My friend Cathy when through this and she did it in a way but she left herself 8 hours for bed time. She did get up and out of bed when awake. She came out of it. She did use drugs. I can’t. I react badly to them especally after this stuff.
I will walk the walk as long as I know I will not revert back to what happened to me in the past. I do not want to pace like that ever again. It was a nightmare.
I got a peer person that is supposed to come here to help me with recovery. I hope it works out.
I think the CBT is needed to do this. That is what I seem to be lacking now.

I have been going to bed at midnight. I used to stay in to 8 AM but then I want to seven and the doc told me 6. I got up at 6 today. I am toasted exhausted now and my body doesn’t seem to get that sleepy. I Have been without sleep for a week when it started.
I do go out at my computer tired but go to bed awake at times but I have also fallen right to sleep too. I am all over the place. Last night due to google searches and anxiety of doing this I did not sleep much if any but I could have. I do not know. I know I was up about 5 times for 15 min each.
I know about the window. I have been worried about pacing like I did when I did something like this before and today I did pace some.
I downloaded the log so thank you. I will look it over. I am going back to the doc. I guess this may be the path out of this. I just have very high anxiety but my counselor took a course it and also said to do it. Does it work with people with high anxiety?

I sent it to you via FBook messenger. The doc said I need to tighen it up and I have. That is what I gave him. He as going to let me hang out here like that for 6 months. I would face about anything if I knew I would be sleeping soon like I used to. Yes I know maybe not as much as I used to. I slept a lot back then.
I would shop and buy food early so I can survive it. This time I forgot to. I am getting a peer person to help me so maybe they can help me at times.
Yes I can send a sample on FB through messenger. Not the greatest because I geuess at timing as I refuse to look at a clock.
You made me want to cry. I have been walking this path mostly alone. Google is not my friend. That is what I did at the start of this. I no longer stay in bed like that. Yes I am following. I would pay for you if I could. I have not much of guide to get where I have to go.
The doc said to a window to sleep which was very tight and also it did not account for awake time. I did what he told me tougher last night and I slept even less. Anxiety is why. I am following it pretty good now. Been awake for a long time today. I was really bad. I had some recovery.
I am tired of them sending me home with a flyer or telling me to do something and no follow up or how to do it or anything. I know I can sleep and yes the stress is less that caused it. I know I can sleep and love it.
I don’t lay in bed now. I stay sitting through to keep from pacing via flight or fight mode. I have worried about sleep a lot. Google is not my friend but I found you via it. It scares me as well.
I live alone so I need help. Docs have been useless and it took them month’s to get me help via insurance and paper pushing stuff. Now I got them but they are not trained in this as well. One did take a class in it.
Please help.
Barb
