I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m in a similar state. I’m doing better on sleep, but I’m still exhausted after a certain point in the day and I can barely walk in a straight line. One minute I am fine and the next I have no “go”. I have worked with a dr on this and I should have another sleep study. I can’t afford it though until I have income.
Not that good. My boyfriend is depressed and I can't comfort him. All I can say is for him to take some rest and just do the bare minimum, do things that make him happy, and to message me if he needs anything 
I am so sad. I miss him.

OTOH, when I was too out of it from self medication with alcohol and street drugs to even realize I needed help, nobody, but nobody, could have convinced me that I could do anything about it. So I realize now that I was putting them through pain despite my internal conviction that I was only hurting myself, who deserved it.
Feeling like crap. I am trying to write up an ethics complaint to the nursing board over how I was treated in inpatient. It is churning up my unresolved anger and it’s a lot.
However, I feel like I need to rip the band-aid and get it off my plate. I want to see if I will feel better once it’s been sent. I feel like I have nothing to lose. What’s the worst that could happen? I’m already suffering and it’s been dragging on for just under 2 years now.
I’m concerned that I might be spiraling. I took a look at my safety plan and it looks like Chinese Algebra* right now. Which is to say that I can’t really parse even my own plan, which I wrote down for this reason! I want to call someone just to talk and get my mind off this for even 10 minutes. I will call a friend today regarding an unrelated matter.
* - someone tell me if you take this expression as offensive. It is a common saying in my field and is meant to describe useless or very inaccurate directions. It’s not pejorative in any way, but I wonder if it comes off as such. Thanks

I think I found a possible problem: coffee doesn’t go in the microwave! At least not in front of coffee snobs, lol! The theory being that the coffee is already stale if it was made long enough ago to have cooled down, and the microwave will also make it worse. I’m not aware of any evidence for or against, but I am aghast at the very idea!

I’m laughing my ass off! I own an electric kettle but it never occurred to me to try cooking things in it, which sounds like a fortunate thing to me.
Yes, the freeze dried coffee is called “instant coffee” here. To someone who enjoys coffee enough to know how good coffee can taste, it’s by far the most atrocious thing you could do to otherwise useful coffee beans!
It kind of helps me get what the Chinese say about our tea being not tea, but flavored water. I am not as into tea, but I have had some bona fide Chinese style traditionally prepared tea (kind of like a Chinese version of the Zen tea ceremony), and it is a different flavor and sensory experience.

The hurting part of me retorts that it would have been better if we hadn’t.
I'm slightly better today after taking pain medication for the broken rib and sleeping for about 11 hours. I never knew that pain medication makes one sleep better. I'll be throwing it out as soon as the rib starts feeling better, as I don't trust myself with drugs of any kind. I'm tempted to take some more and go out for a run despite everything I've read saying never run the first few days after a fracture. And that is why I can't have drugs around.
Sorry I didn't catch until now that you had a broken rib. Sounds painful! I had a slipped rib when I overdid it in the gym on the vertical chest press machine. That hurt like hell, so I'm imagining a fracture is even worse.
I hear you on the pain meds. I think that if my emotional state were stable, I would be able to use them safely. It's not stable right now, though, and I don't think I could resist any amount of something that could make me sleep and not wake up.
