I can’t cope

Yeah. I am due but that doesn’t really mean much. @tyme. My cycle is all

over the place.

I just should stay off certain threads and it will probably help with my frustration.

The most excited I was to see my bed was after 3 weeks in hospital sleeping on a plastic mattress! I couldn’t wait. I’d been fantasising over it for 2 1/2 weeks!

 This sounds about right

"Plastic mattress"... so true lol @Captain24

I hear what you mean but staying off threads. Yeah, it's a good idea. I don't have a choice, but you do.

I can hear my bed calling me even though I'm not tired yet.

I'm glad you were able to connect on the PGC tonight. It was a really good chat. I picked up a lot from other contributors about dealing with haywire emotions.

Just saw the meme @Captain24 LOL... just one of those moments, eh?

I’ve taken my meds but the one that the GP restarted yesterday makes me feel really sick. I think it’s the high dose. @tyme. I’m hoping to be tired soon. Hopefully my sleep gets regulated.

It must be hard for you with some threads. I need to stop letting people frustrate me. I know that I am frustrating and difficult as well though.

I am trying to get out of my own space. I did get stuff out of it though. It was good to know that I’m not the only one that doesn’t realise until it’s too late.

Yep… totally! @tyme

You are certainly not the only one @Captain24 . Most people have been in that space.

In being kinder to yourself, I wonder if the thought of not letting people get to you gets easier? That is, you find the strategies to protect yourself.

It's pretty good on the forums. Mods help each other out. There are some posts I find easier to respond to than others and the same goes for the other mods. It's about sharing the load so that our skills complement each other. When there's a tricky post, we can chat to our service leads about it and bring it to supervision for additional insight. Whatever it is, it works.

I'm going to start wrapping up now so I can answer to the call of my beloved bed lol @Captain24 .

I'll see you tomorrow!

Aaahhh.. that explains a few things. @tyme. So mods are good and there is others that just don’t care or don’t understand and makes things so much worse. That makes sense now.

I need to stop letting people get to me. I am getting better. I’m so much better than I was but also I’m isolating myself which means I don’t have the contact with others for them to annoy me.

Yeah, I think I learnt the 'don't let people get to you' theme a long time ago @Captain24 . Just wasn't worth the energy or tears.

Don't get me wrong. From time to time, people DO get to me. But generally, I'm pretty chill
