Struggling

Hi @perspective @RedHorse it's a pain when you can't sleep @perspective . I don't sleep til way past midnight then sleep late and it ruins my day. Other than that things aren't too bad at the moment.

Hi @Dimity @perspective

I hope you are doing okay.

Getting restful sleep is a big issue for me too...

Saw a red bellied black snake outside the caravan door earlier which isn't going to help lol

In other news, it looks like I'm going to get even more pumpkins than last year (42 at last count 😲)!

Take care,

Took quite a few sleeping pills last night finally got to sleep and 5am . Had an excellent day. My brother came over.

Hi Forumites, it's me again 🙋

Feeling a little bit wobbly at the moment.

I'm worried about my appointment with the psychiatrist tomorrow.

Not so much the appointment itself, but the stress of getting ready for the outside world and actually turning up and functioning like a real person.

It's too early to go to bed, I'm not tired and besides I feel anxious and kind of empty and alone. Not good.

I think I will try to distract myself with a movie.

Glad you had a good day with your brother @perspective

Take care,

Will you be driving @RedHorse ?

I used to have weekly 3-4 hour round trips to my therapy. I used the commute time to 'chill out' and engage in mindfulness activities. That way, I could shut out the world. Do you think you can give that a go?

Hi @perspective !

I feel like I haven't seen you around in a while. So I thought I'd pop by to say hi!

Glad you had a good day with your brother,

Thanks for that

Tyme

Yes, I will be driving @tyme and can definitely give mindfulness a go on the trip.

It's just the night before heebie jeebies at work on me at the moment.

Thanks for your reply.

Take care,

Hi @RedHorse

Yes I know those heebie jeebies, I've turned down invitations because of them. Take it steady, one foot in front of the other. I'm nervous ahead of my weekly class but am pacing myself. My pdoc only does phone consults now which saves the 1 1/2 hr each way trip but in some ways I'd prefer to see him.

Well done on your pumpkins, there's a lot of frozen pumpkin soup there and maybe some donations for a community charity. Seeing the snake would be scary but maybe it was equally scared of you.

I've been a bit low today, but I'll need to shop tomorrow.

Best wishes for tomorrow.

And I hope you have a good day too @perspective .

Dimity

Sorry to hear that you have been feeling low recently @Dimity

Yes, one foot in front of the other will get me there, thanks.

I just need to relax and stop over thinking every little thing which is easier said than done, but still possible.

I hope you get your shopping done without any problems tomorrow.

Take care,
