Thank you @seabird. They help for sure. I just had a major panic as I looked on my one drive and all I could find listed was files from the last 4 weeks - none of my folders, older (but essential for records) files, or anything. Had to dig deep to find them and then jump through hoops trying to get it to replicate the folders. I think it's done now. Hope you are doing OK!
Gee, sorry about the computer issues @AvidFan. It doesn’t seem like too long ago you had to replace the last one, so I hope the new box is under warranty? I wonder if you need a more solid build, like a heavy duty laptop (if that’s affordable), or a desktop if you’re amenable to that. A desktop is generally less expensive than a laptop for the same performance, and less sensitive to environmental stress… I don’t know why the laptops keep dying on you though. I have an HP (i know, shame on me) and the case flexes when I pick it up and keep it horizontal. I know this because the corners of the case pop open. That’s why I will probably get a desktop once this is obsolete.
I’m really sad that you missed your race. It seems like running is really important for you.

Thanks @LumberJack appreciate it. It's a HP laptop 😲 - I think it must be a die by design kind of thing - just a few months out of warranty again! The guy did fix it cheaply last time, I'm just glad I kept everything barebones - everything in cloud, and this machine kept up to date, so all I had to do was login and most things are already set up the same. Hopefully I can get the other one fixed and will have a spare again. Laptop is needed for getting it to and from office and meetings etc but I used to love having a desktop in the old days!
I will probably get a Lenovo or something next time, these HPs are too flimsy!

I think the sleep debt is making me anxious. Or maybe I am less able to cope with it on an even keel. My intrusive thoughts are bothering me, but I have had a bit of a break over yesterday and the day before. I was also sleeping well the nights before those days. I don’t know if the med change is helping yet; it’s only been 5 days, counting today. I am sad about everything today, whether I can do anything about it or not.
I'm worn out, it's only 11pm but am going to lie on my bed and hope I can get some sleep. It's gone cooler but still don't want to lie under a blanket. My body doesn't feel safe, hence it keeps waking at 4.30am. I hope I can get a few hours, I have so much to deal with and the lack of sleep is like trying to do things blindfolded and in a straitjacket at times. Much love to everyone on SF
I think that Friday and Saturday nights were catch-up from my all nighter from 07:00 AM Tuesday until 11:00 AM Weds, and then I got 2 hours of sleep while feeling wired but felt too dizzy to try walking or standing.
I’m pretty optimistic about the med change because we took the fluoxetine back up to 40mg from only 10mg. The fluoxetine was great against my depression and anxiety, but it had the side effect that I felt was a huge price to pay. I felt like it wasn’t worth feeling emotionally healthy if I couldn’t express my physical affection intimately.
Now, though, the cost/benefit has changed because I am so paralyzed by everything that I am too anxious to even think about dating. My APRN said that we have got to get me over this paralysis for right now and we can look at the side effects later. I agree with him and not least because the people who care about me (and have some knowledge about working with mentally ill people) are telling me to tell my prescriber about it.

Some days I can't stand antipsychotics for all the side effects they've given me. I would say Vraylar was the worst of them for me.
But with Abilify: cravings/hunger, weight gain, restlessness, emotional blunting, impulsivity, compulsion, increased sexual desire, suicidal thoughts.
I'd say they're all evil, each in its own way.

After sleep paralysis, I woke up afraid, and almost went upstairs to sleep on my brother's couch after what I saw. Then I stopped on the stairs and said, "F it...I'm not running". So I came back, prayed, and turned on the gospel on YouTube.
"A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you" - Psalm 91:7
