thanks for your suggestion and advice.
I slept for 3 hours yesterday afternoon. My support worker was visiting and I was falling asleep as she was talking, so I went to bed.
I saw my GP this morning. I told him I had trouble sleeping. He said it was part of the condition (BPD/depression) and to try the relaxation CD. He offered to write me up for some valium. I said not to as I don't want to start taking valium again. I was on 40mg a day and addicted. I managed to come off it last year.
Having said that. I took 5mg of some I already had tonight (I have a couple of tablets for emergencies). It has done nothing.
The doc I saw at discharge who said no one ever died of lack of sleep is not my usual doc. I don't think I'll be seeing her again, which is a good job.
Looks like it's the relaxation CD or bust.
