I had a sleep study done last year and I was supposed to go back, but I never did.
I was being tested for Sleep Apnea.
I believe I probably do have that.
I've had sleeping issues for years.
I can't fall asleep, have trouble staying asleep, wake up constantly, etc.
My functions are steadily getting worse, so my ass needs to go back to the sleep clinic.

But what's scary is how forgetful I am and how I lose focus a lot.
Someone will be talking to me and I just stop hearing them and zone out.
I don't drive, but I will lose focus on car rides and not know what was happening or where we were in the time that I zoned out.
I was like "Oh my God...what if I was driving and that happened!?"
That really makes me not want to drive ever.
Unless I can get this fixed.
It's like walking through a thick fog and being disoriented.

I'm so forgetful that I don't remember if I took my medication or not.
I take three different antidepressants a day.
One I NEED because it helps me sleep.
But I can't remember if I took them or not.
And just not knowing is scary to me.
I try hard but can't remember.

Going along with my insomnia, I used to take the sleep medication called "Ambien".
It's an incredibly strong medication I guess because they don't like giving it out.
But I went a year with very little sleep due to anxiety attacks every single night.
I asked my psychiatrist for it back (it had stopped working) and he said no because it causes people to drive while asleep and sleepwalk and things like that.
Keep in mind, no one told me that when I first started taking it.
I never experienced anything like that, but a warning would have been nice >___>
I mean I don't think I experienced it. I'd have been asleep. xD

Has something scared you like that?
Or you realized something was scary much later?

"I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears."

Sleep apnea can be really serious. My mother and my partner both have it and sleep with CPAPs. My partner says it makes a big difference for him. So go back as soon as you can!

I'm the same way though. Sometimes I just do things on autopilot without even thinking, so then I can't remember what I even did. Nothing huge, but little day to day things. Things like whether or not I put food away, or turned off the stove, or locked the door, etc. It's kind of scary that I can do that stuff and have no memory of it at all an hour later. And it's even scarier that I might forget to do something like turn off the stove.

My mother was on Ambien years ago. She hallucinated really bad and had no memory of it at all. She took it one night, and we went to bed. A little while later, she was knocking on my bedroom door, accusing me of having a party in there without her, and she doesn't even have anything to wear to a party, and what will the Queen think if she doesn't have anything to wear, etc etc. It went on for a while, then she finally got in bed and fell asleep. Another time, she said she woke up and the matches weren't in their usual spot. That really scared her, and she stopped taking it after that. My grandmother had been on it too, and she said she woke up one morning next to an empty Oreo package with no memory of eating the whole thing.
