I can’t cope

@Captain24 i might just check in with them about it.

Things will still get very dark and I know those times really suck but that's when we need to try to remember the times we've seen the light and know that we can get back to it.

Oh that's really scary, so will you be getting a machine then? Also explains why you are so tired even after what should be a decent sleep and also why you've woken to having the dogs on you at times.

I’ve started with nose strips to see if that helps. If I reduce my snoring then maybe that may help. The girl I was talking to doesn’t think I will cope with a mask especially after I told her I couldn’t cope during Covid. @MissGremlin A report is going to my GP so I’ll see what he has to say. It does explain the dogs! I guess I’m pretty safe with them in my bed just not when I’m sleeping for nightshift!

They will but I’m working in the widow of tolerance thing with my psych. There is theee stages up and three stages down. The window is in the middle. I think I’m slipping between the window and the next stage down but nowhere near the bottom stage.

Im thinking I might take the dogs for a walk now that I have their leads.

I got a diamond art out and a 3D puzzle! I couldn’t decide! 😜

My mystery one arrived yesterday but it has soooo many colours and I don’t think I’d get it done before my customs arrive.

Hi @Nala2022

I hope you are doing well and your dinners the other weekend went well.

I know we don’t know each other well but am I able to ask you a lived experience question? If not that’s totally ok.

Im about to walk the dogs for 30-45 minutes depending on which way they chose to go. I’ll be home after that.

Please don’t respond if you don’t want to. There is no pressure. I know you are busy and we don’t really know each other well

@Captain24 I just got home, I have over 200 notifications to get through here.

Hoping the nose strips help with the snoring. I can't wear masks at all and had to have an exemption during covid. It's definitely a worry when you're on night shifts, hopefully your GP can help with a way forward.

I'm glad that you'll be able to talk to your psych and that you're working on the window of tolerance. I know it's hard when things start slip but it's good you're not at the bottom stage.

Hope you enjoy the walk.

Haha tough choice between the 2. Yay for your mystery one coming, hehe lots of colours though. I ordered another yesterday.

I'm about to sit down with my diamond art.

I just scrolled through and find the ones that I’m mentioned in otherwise I just can’t keep up. It also depends on the thread that I’m tagged in. If I’m not overly interested I’ll just scroll past. @MissGremlin

I've put a reminder in to try and remember to do all my blood tests tomorrow so I can make an appointment to see him. It’ll be interesting to see if he calls me when he gets the report!

The walk was good. I’m just sitting in the sun while it’s out. The clouds are coming back over though.

I’ll do mums 2 and then the mystery and go back to all the customs! At least I now have some easier quicker ones to do in between.

I’ll head in soon and join you. I have to sort out the dots! This one only has 12 colours so it should be quicker. Not sure how it’s going to look though.

@Captain24 I'm only staying here today in your thread if that's ok sweet? I don't have it in me to talk to anyone else at the moment, I'm not even opening the notifications.

I need to do a blood test aswell, it has to be a fasting one this time.

I'm glad you enjoyed the walk, sitting in the sun sounds nice.

That sounds like a good plan! 12 colours isn't alot but maybe just trust the process and see how it goes. I've only given up on 3 of the cheap kits I've got cos they were completely crap.

That’s ok to stay here. I get that totally @MissGremlin. I’ve just come inside, set up my laptop and sat down to sort these dots out.

Mine is fasting which is why I forget to do them. I just get up and have a drink and not think about it. I don’t drink water. But I need these tests done as he is looking for reasons as to why I’m so tired all the time. To see if there is anything in there as well. He is so annoyingly thorough! 😂

Actually it’s not the one I thought. There is 16! It’s very different to the ones I’ve done in the past. I just got notification from Aust post that they are creating a label so it should be here in about a week!

I’ve also filled in my census this morning too so that is done!

Thankyou @Captain24 sweet ❤️. Hope it doesn't take long to sort the dots out.

I'm the same, get up and have my coffee and tablets then remember 😂. My doctor is doing a thorough one as my sugars were high on the last one but it usually happens when my heart plays up so I'm not really worried about it. Hopefully you can get some answers as to why you're so tired, we both need answers there.

I can't wait to see it when you've finished, I'm still a long way from finishing my ones. Yay for them hopefully coming in about a week.

I did my census the other day. I just took more pain relief and an anti nausea tablet, it's been a big morning for me.

I’ve just finished sorting them out and tidying up afterwards. My dining table was a mess and had stuff everywhere when I did the last one so I have cleaned it up and it’s just the dots, sheet and light sheet, the pen, gel stuff and the tray. It feels neater, cleaner and more organised. @MissGremlin

Yeah, I’m close to pre-diabetes as well and have fatty liver but I’ve never done anything about them! 😂

Thats ok you are doing 2 at once and one of them is really large and hard! Just take your time with them. All good things come to those that wait. If only life was like that!

Sorry it’s been a big morning. I’m glad you have taking stuff though to help you regulate a little.

@Captain24 you did well to tidy up sweet, it's nice to not have a mess when you want to do something relaxing.

Yeah i was heading into the pre-diabetes aswell when I did my last fasting test but my doctor wasn't worried about it cos I generally eat healthy foods.

Yes if only life was like that!

I've got my music on but at the moment there's so much noise and it's all overwhelming (I'm safe). I'm trying hard to just focus on my diamond art.
