Its so boring and depressing, thats why I like to take a knock out pill so I go straight to sleep and the repetitive negative thoughts don't have a chance to take over.

Oh my god, my pdoc has a warning on my inpatient file about not screwing with my bedtime meds. I have to take 600 mg seroquel, 4 mg xanax and 8 mg of rozerem to get down and STAY down. And sometimes I get up and take another rozerem.

My recent bad experience in the new phospital was that they did not believe ANYONE needed that much to sleep. I was like, have you ever seen a MANIC person before?

Shit.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
