    Hehe. Just got a clean bill of mental health. Been checking into whether my sleep problem is related to depression but apparently I check out completely mentally well. I should have asked for a certificate of some kind for the doubters. :-p

        I have a repeated problem with doctors assuming hard-to-pin down problems are psychological & suggesting anti-depressants. They were suggested when I reported an agonising pain behind one eye & nothing else done until it turned in completely.

        They were suggested when I started passing out randomly. Panic attacks diagnosed & my sincere question about whether I shouldn't also experience some kind of panic or at least a mild anxiety ignored. Turned out my blood pressure drops suddenly for no reason. Its very annoying.

        I don't know why I keep being suspected of being depressed. I'm quite a smiley person & I do not lack motivation or concentration or interest in things, ffs. The opposite is true. Bit too intense.

        Sleep apnea? I have sleep apnea which, annoyingly, hasn’t gone away despite the weight loss.

        With sleep apnea you don’t. Or do you mean you just can’t go to sleep?

        Ah. I have that problem too. My mind doesn’t like to shut off and I have problems going to sleep. Especially if I’m writing something.

        Have you had full bloods done? Often depression can be a function of endocrine system being suboptimal eg thyroid.

        No. It was serious. I'm not remotely depressed. I just don't sleep. But I have had blood tests recently and all was well. :)

        maybe the interesting markers were not checked for? minerals, hormones... ?

        No, I don't think they were. I'll try more exercise and some winding down first and then get persistent.

        But you can’t have a clean bill of mental health. I mean you’re on twitter.
