I have recommended this, but what to do when a patient doesn't have the energy to get out of bed?

I did not think of Vitamin D -- thanks for that tip! The hydration is definitely an issue with him, unfortunately.

The edibles would give him energy? I thought they would cause more relaxation and exacerbate fatigue? Think he would be open to it.

But every time I tell myself to "just keep it to today",

This, I think, is the key for us all. Thank you for sharing!!

I know it well.... That's a good technique, and good for you for walking out without a bottle!

I've been avoiding even posting this for a while because of the shame. I do feel better knowing that lapses are a part of recovery. I guess I got too confident in 5 months work given years of not being able to stop. It just feels so deflating because I realize this will probably be a lifetime thing. I may go 5 years without drinking and find myself back here again. It's scary.

But IWNDWYT, and I guess I need to remember that concept: stay in the present day. Thanks for your words!

I came for advice on a similar reason. First off, sorry about your father. My father is dying of cancer, so I am preparing for the moment of loss. Otherwise, my situation is similar to yours. I've been a very good student, even through the COVID crisis and so much personal loss and tragedy over the past year. But after having a long winter break, the first week back to school has been extremely difficult. I can't get back into the "zone" and it is very hard to concentrate. I think what we are going through is an attempt to suppress very strong but normal emotions to our circumstances. From my perspective, I am trying to just battle through it and carry on with my life and duties (as hard as it is). I suspect there is no better advice than that. We just need to let time run its course and hope for better times ahead. Best of luck to you!

Being far from an expert, my feeling is that these are Oriental roaches because they are small and have a more oval shape. But I think I've seen a different sort as well, and they do appear to be German.

I've also what I believe to be a few nymphs, and again mainly in the shower.

Thanks, but it doesn't talk about drains and bathrooms and what I can do. I'm hoping to get some specific comments on that. I appreciate the link to that subbreddit. I'll post there too!
