All I do is sleep. [View all]

Last month or so since having my mini breakdown and dropping the last 2 courses at uni all I seem to do is sleep. I sleep 12 hours a day easily and many days more than that back to back. When I AM up I'm up during the night time midnight to 5 or 6AM. I've always been a night owl and whenever I don't have anything in the way of a schedule to anchor my day I naturally slip into this nighttime regime. I'm in the process of weaning myself off the SSRI that I have been taking the last year or so as it doesn't seem to be doing anything and may be contributing to the sleeping, at least my parents seem to think so. I've got a DRs appointment in a few weeks and a new psychiatrist should call to book a visit in the next month or so. I have been eating a bit better than the really desperate period I was in about a month back, and I'm not drinking for now (though I still feel like doing do often enough). The family has a trip to Hawaii planned for next week that I'm going along with, don't feel I deserve it in the least but anyway. I'm still sort of planning to go back to do next semester but unless I solve some of these issues I don't see how I'm not going to crash and burn.

Anyway now that that boring rant is over with how are you guys doing?
