Something’s not right

Not Coping

Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

@Shaz51 aww I love elephants!! Such gorgeous, silly, impressive animals haha. Did you know that when they're babies, elephants sometimes suck their trunks, like a baby human will suck their thumb?Soooo cute. Will you pop some little elephants in the garden too?

Re: Not Coping

Yes I will @Jynx

Mum has two big elephants 🐘 so I thought of putting them in on each side of the front door

Re: Not Coping

Yeah I hope so too @Jynx

Yes, it's been an ongoing issue for years, I'm seeing an osteo at the moment, so I'm doing the exercises she gave me. I have a sacroiliac joint sprain. The pain comes up to the hip and several vertebrae up from the tailbone. Apparently, the joint sprain makes my muscles in the surrounding area all sore.

Oh no how does oversleeping do that? I'm tired no matter how long I sleep hahaha.

@Shaz51 oh I love that!! Big elephant guardians, sounds so sick 😍🐘

@Birdofparadise8 oh rough... Is it arthritis of some sort? Sounds so painful!

Haha that's a big mood, the eternal tiredness! I think cos I slept like 14 hours my body got overwhelmed by it. I woke up super groggy and felt really weak in my muscles. Definitely improved heaps now though.

Re: Not Coping

So far, my osteo thinks it's a sprain of the joint @Jynx

She said I might need X-rays as things aren't improving.

Yeah, well, I have a sleep study on Monday next week, so hopefully will give me some answers on the tiredness and sleep in general.

Wow, 14 hours that's a long time. Do you stay up very late?

@Birdofparadise8 oof, sounds so rough hun, I hope it isn't toooo serious hey 🤞 And good luck w the sleep study! May it provide helpful insights!

I am a night owl typically, and get insomnia from time to time. I didn't sleep well last Thurs/Fri and then Saturday night I didn't sleep at all, so the 14 hours was a catch-up sleep 😅
