I can’t cope

Hi @Captain24,

Thank you for your reply, it's nice to meet you too 🙂 It does get tiring sometimes and on particularly bad days I just stay in bed because I can't bring myself to do anything. But I keep going in the hopes of happier days ahead. And this forum has really helped me realise that I'm not alone, that there are people who are experiencing similar things. I hope you are in a better place now, and if not, I want you to know I'm rooting for you and sending you strength.

Hi @Captain24 , so sorry to hear you hurt your back at work! 😢 No sitting and no lifting, oh gosh 😣

Did you manage to get to sleep last night?

I hope you can hear about the dates of your admission soon. Well done on eating those meals.

Hope you can cope OK... 🤞

Oh it’s difficult. But I’ll end up pushing the boundaries. I usually do. @NatureLover

I did finally sleep. But I’ve only just woken up now. I get the sleep I need just at not the right times and I don’t know how to fix it. Yes I’m open to suggestions from anyone reading this. I need to get my sleep pattern back in order.

I didn’t order 7 days worth and am slipping into bad habits. This time I did order the 7 days. I costs me just over $150 a week so it makes me think I can’t waste it. The one thing is that some of the meals are frozen so if I just can’t do it it’ll be there for a time when I forget to order or can’t order if I’m away. I’m going to buy a little bar freezer to stick in the garage so i have freezer space.

How are you goin? I hope everything is ok? Also how is the volunteer work going?

@Captain24 Must be hard to get your sleep routine better when you do shift work constantly?!

It does make it hard @Bow but up until recently I could manage the switch. But now it’s just all over the place.

That sucks @Captain24 are there things that you were doing previously that your not doing now?

It’s since my MH crashed just before I stopped taking the meds. @Bow. Previously I have had nights where I’ve had trouble going to sleep. But now it’s just like my head hits the pillow and I’m awake.

Perhaps that is part of the problem then @Captain24 … all those extra meds that maybe shouldn’t be mixed?

I thought I would just stop taking all sleep prn meds and see what happens. @Bow. Then maybe I can try different ones one at a time.

How are you going?

Maybe that’s a good idea @Captain24 im really thankful that I’m managing to get off to sleep most nights ok at the moment, but I wake up so many times still 😩

im getting by I think. Still got pain. Really hoping my sw is back Tuesday.
