Hello @Cat34, I'm around. Would it help to have a chat about what's going on or maybe a distraction chat? 

 

We are here for you ☺️

Re: Hello

Hi Dreamy,

 

A distraction chat may help. The voices are hard to manage at night in particular, and chatting may help me to distract for now.

 

I took my night meds some time ago.

Re: Hello

hi @Cat34 

 

Good on you for being brave and reaching out, intrusive thoughts and back pain can make it super hard to sleep 😞

I am sure there will be support for you here, people often have great ideas to share.

 

I am wondering if a heat pack - like a wheat bag for the back, and something soothing to listen to.

 

If you want to call and talk to someone for a bit of additional connection, there are a few numbers on the forum pages, or I can share them with you.

Hello @Nw, it can be frustrating not being able to sleep. I'm glad that having the TV on for background noise helps a little for you.
