Hi @Pollyotter I hope you don't mind me popping up out of the blue. I just wanted to message you cause I have been what you've been going through. I've actually been sl*t shamed by a psychiatrist. I was sexually abused for as a child and in my teens. And when I moved for uni I was assaulted again. I also have been treated horribly by community mental health. I am really sorry what you're going through. I used to have sever insomnia until I was put on an anti psychotic which basically was a heavy sedative. I went from not sleeping for 4-5 days at a time to sleeping 12 hours  day everyday. Please feel free to reply if you want to talk.

Hello. I am sorry you had gone through all of it as well. I managed to crash last night / this morning . I feel hungover but atleast I got sleep in. I would love to be able to sleep for 12 hours at a time .

Hello

Hey @Pollyotter How are you tonight?

I just saw your hello by chance and not actually sure who you are talking to Hon - it really helps if you tag the person you are talking to - that way they get a notification and can respond. To do that type in an @ then start typing in the name - a dropbox will then allow you to click on the name of the person you are posting to - that also means your post will not be missed. I generally only respond to notifications I am tagged in and would hate to miss one from you.

@Zoe7 . Hey yhe I am feeling abit better. My body is getting back to feeling better. Last night I think I had like 3 hours of sleep ? But it's better then nothing.

How are you

[Pollyotter]

Zoe7 are you here

Hey @Pollyotter I can see you haven't gotten the knack of how to tag yet Hon but I have been keeping an eye out for you tonight - so saw your message.

I will go through how to tag again so I don't miss any messages from you in the future.

Start by typing in the @ symbol - then begin typing my name ie. @Zoe7 a dropbox will show my name and you click on that. The name should then turn green to show you have tagged me. It does take a little getting used to but once you have mastered it it becomes easier.

Now to the important thing - how are you?

@Zoe7
No drop box appears.

I'm doing ok-ish my brain is pulling tricks on me tonight.

I really think I am loosing my mind at this point
