Sleep is often the best medicine that the body needs and it certainly will take a while for your sleep pattern to adjust. Just remember that your doing well. I find with my mood journal even if I have a billion thoughts in my brain I can write them down fairly clearly. A technique I learnt is that I will pick what's a priority to worry about and go rate it from low to high if that makes any sense. I'm still educating myself in ways of distressing because I've a bad habit of fixating on one thought (depending on what it is) and just go over it a million times when that's not helpful so I'm teaching myself to break that habit, it's not going to be an overnight thing but as long as I keep working it I should (in theory) get better. Stay safe and stay well

Thank you, I appreciate your suggestion. Generally I can follow that thinking when I'm doing well, or medication is helping. Unfortunately, when I'm not doing good, I can't grasp the thoughts fully to prioritise. Think of it like a bunch of stuff swirling around in a tornado inside my head. Take care.

@@parentingwithmentalhealthissue you're welcome 😊I get what you mean. I've been there myself when I've been at my worst but I always see tomorrow as a fresh start to learn from that and go forward. I think you highlighted that in your video
