I’ve been fortunate enough to be blessed with the ability to be a sound sleeper. Falling asleep is sometimes a chore as I pound caffeine and workout in the evenings, but I cannot imagine getting poor to no sleep and trying to be remotely active. Hope you get it trending in the right direction soon!
Yeah that’s pretty much the only reason. There’s also some notion of not wanting to be dependent on it and seeing how I feel without it, but I would never have quit it if it weren’t for the appetite stimulation. Unfortunately even indicas have this effect on me, it’s a deeply ingrained habit. The only way I’ve found around it is smoking at the very end of the night when already tired. I’m really trying to keep going with not smoking but if my health deteriorates as a result I always have that option.
In general my family says my mood has been worse the last month. Bleh.
The max dose of trazodone did literally nothing, waiting to hear from psychiatrist today about what else we are gonna try/meeting him tomorrow night. I woke at 2am last night, was brutal
I’ve also been mildly sick for 10 days or so which has certainly played into these issues.
In other news my 2 month abdominal pain is technically a strain now. I have a script for physical therapy and am gonna start ASAP. Luckily I can still climb, just gotta go easy and no cave stuff or big core tension moves. I think my current trend of climbing 1.5x/week or so should go well with PT. Goal is to fix this sleep problem, get the shoulders a little healthier, heal the ab strain, and get the two compromised fingers to 100%. Also keep up the diet. Should be doable with effort and lots of rest. The PT will focus on the abs, but I can also hit the gym for the shoulder/back stuff, and do light climbing plus 3 finger pockets at the bouldering gym
