Pdoc won't give me Alertec

Posted by Deneb on March 22, 2012, at 1:08:30

I saw pdoc today. I told her I was doing well except that I'm sleeping a lot, sometimes about 15 hours a day. I go to bed around 5 am and sleep until 5 pm on days I don't work. I get up and surf the web and drink some water (being really dehydrated after sleeping for 12 hours) for a couple of hours. Then I crawl back into bed until about 10 pm. I eat and surf the web the rest of the night and go back to bed at around 5 am.

I asked her if I could have some Alertec or something, but she said it wasn't going to solve my problem. My problem was not maintaining healthy habits.

I asked if melatonin might help, but again she said it wasn't going to solve my problems.

I think she's kind of worried about me. She said my parents are going to get sick one day and won't be able to take care of me.

She wants me to be more independent. She said I don't need to move or anything, but I should do more adult things, like learning how to cook. She said I'm not mentally retarded or physically handicapped or anything. She said I can do things to be independent.

She gave me some homework. It's kind of a lot. I'm supposed to write things down as I do them.

These are the things I have to do:

Wake up in the morning everyday.
Eat regular healthy meals based on the food pyramid.
Go outside at least once a day.
Do some exercise for about 30 mins everyday.
Decrease Celexa and remember to take Prozac every morning.
Do things other than surf the Internet reading articles for 7 hours straight.
Think about some things I want to do.
Do things to become more independent, like cooks meals and clean the house.

Pdoc said I should be gathering resources at this time in my life, whatever that means. I think it has to do with the fact that my parents won't be here forever. I think she's kind of worried that they'll die and then I'd be totally helpless.

She said it's good my parents help me, but it's also bad because it prevents me from growing up. I'm not sure why I didn't just naturally grow up. I'm kind of stuck in adolescence I think. Well, but at least I'm over the moody phase lol.

Also she wants me to stop drinking drinks with caffeine. She says it's bad for my delayed sleep. Time to switch to decaf I guess. Argh. LOL

I should find an app to track all this stuff. I'm so glad pdoc is there is guide me through life. I'd be so lost without her!

I hope it doesn't take another 10 years to reach my next stage of enlightenment. I grew out of my depression/moodiness and most of my anxiety at the end of my 20's.

Hopefully I'll be more like an adult by my mid 30's.

Is there anything else you can think of to make me sleep less and be more like an adult?
