My mental health has been rebounding in general along with my physical health.

But the last two nights (last one and the night before) have netted barely any sleep in each of them.

I slept maybe 2 to 3 hours two nights ago (probably more like 2) and 1 to 2 hours last night.

It can really impact your mood when you’re improving overall but then you suddenly don’t sleep the full 8 hours two nights in a row.

It doesn’t affect me that bad (but it’s still pretty bad) during the first night of missed sleep.

But the second night of poor sleep is where it really seems to accumulate and get much worse.

My mood really does just drop like a stone when that happens, maybe even as the day continues depending on the circumstances.

I’ll hang in there. I’m glad that I’m starting to trust myself more and more again. That’s never happened before.

But it can really make you anxious sometimes when you hit what appears to be a roadblock on your way to recovery and a better life, you know?
