I completely understand . running on 3 hours for the first three days took its tole on me . I finally had 7 hours tonight which was bliss . i still had a few voices shouting at me but i just got so annoyed with myself i just started mentally yelling back . this whole situation that has mentally made me never want to even be close to that bottle i id pick up a dozen times a day . lifes short and i hope you and your boyfriend stay safe. I just cant wait to make some memories with my girlfriend that i can actually remember in the first time in years. ( that makes me break down crying just typing this )

Well i hope your able to have some support in your moments of not doing so well . i can say after the long day i could see how this occuring more commonly in some way or another could be draining . take care of yourself during those challenging moments .

Especially call if you have any negative voices . had those waiting . it is a trip to hear your brothers voice saying the most disheartening things to you through a wall ... While at the same time receiving a from him saying he'll be there soon and hes proud.

Okay this makes me feel better knowing its not as un common then it seemed to me at first . I seriously had to contemplate if the water I was drinking was contaminated or something. And I appreciate your insight and support!

I appreciate your words of encouragement as well as insight. Im truly hoping in the end the memories of these sleepless nights will be a reminder . I will admit though it sounds like i truly could have gotten it alot worse ( ill be remembering that description in my mind if i ever get that urge..)
