Wednesday evening

Wednesday evening

Another day over. When the sun goes down is my favourite time. It feels like there is less pressure to be or do anything. I can have a hot hot shower and put my pajamas on. Settle down with a book. Between 6.30pm and 9.30pm, sometimes I can feel something that equates to a kind of calm. I just started reading the chronicles of Narnia. The first part is called 'The Magicians Nephew'. Honestly it's a bit scary so far, I don't like magicians at all. I'm going to read a bit more and hopefully it doesn't scare me.

I'm an hour ill take my night time meds and then soon become sleepy and crawl into bed. I hope the night is long, I despair the dawning of the sun. I know that's not very good. I hope that one day I'll be happy to see the sun rise, rather than wishing it wouldn't never rose again.

I'm listening to ABC classic and the fire is going. I'm so blessed really. I am. I just have stupid neurotransmitters that make me think crazy. Unfortunately.

I'm still waiting for the psychiatrist to call to make an appointment.

I've been reading a lot of other posts and comments this evening. Knowing there are others out there feeling this way is a great comfort. I wish wouldn't wish mental illness on anyone. But in the world it sometimes seems like everyone else is happy and successful... and I am just an outsider. On the forums I feel comfort, like there is a group of us that can relate to one another.

Afternoon @Shaz51 Just resting my hips and back after finishing work for the day here. I caretake at a plant nursery across the road for a couple of mornings throughout the week. A glorious sunny day with no wind for a change. Have a lovely afternoon. I’ll be spending a few hours of it on the lounge hahaha xx 🙏❤️

Hi guys. It’s lovely and sunny here but there is no warmth in it. I have trouble in the evenings trying to keep busy so I go to bed super early most nights. I just don’t feel like doing anything. I wish I could find the motivation to read my book or do crochet. I am on book two of The Wheel of Time.

I wish one could read a book and crochet at the same time... that would be the ultimate escapism.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Maybe you could do one of these things for 10 minutes and work your way up to half an hour.

I am so thankful for books right now... sometimes when I'm MI I can't focus enough to follow the story, but blessed right now that I can read still.

Hope you are feeling ok this afternoon

Hi @Shaz51 Always tempted to add one more plant to my garden but have literally run out of room and keeping on top of my own is work enough in itself. The beauty of Winter, less weeds hahaha to pull. Have a lovely evening. I’m planning a trip to the beach tomorrow to soak up some Winter sunshine and maybe a swim if the water is not too cold. A treat for myself to end the week. ❤️

Re: Wednesday evening

Hi @Oaktree Winter time has that affect on me too. A bit like nature being a time to slow down and go within for the duration, storing our energy ready for Spring. Early nights are good for us this time of year. I like to do a calming meditation before bed or some gentle yoga. Sometimes I crotchet or read but not really doing much of either this week. Going to bed early though for me means I wake up early and the mornings here have been below zero so I linger under the doona a little too long, but that’s okay too. Just use this time of year to allow yourself to slow down and restore energy. It’s all good and okay. 🙏❤️
