I'm diagnosed and medicated, but struggling a lot with discerning what is a valid, real paranoia vs something entirely constructed in my head. I'm dealing with issues related to getting good sleep and taking steps to get answers on whether or not I also have sleep apnea. I'm tired of unpredictable mood swings and constantly second guessing if I can trust those around me. It's just beginning to wear me down, that no matter what I seem to try or how much effort I put in, I end up hurting the people that are supporting me.
I hear you on the sleep. I can manage thru work sick but if I don’t get enough sleep I can’t function the next day. It’s SO important. Glad you are working on improving that aspect.
I feel you.
