Not Coping

Hi @tyme @Former-Member

Have you been able to go on those morning bike rides @Birdofparadise8 ?

Not in the morning, no @tyme

I went for one yesterday afternoon, which was nice.

I never got up the other day on time or any day. My sleep has been terrible, and I think I made up for it last night. I went to bed at nine and didn't get up till 10 am this morning though it was a very interrupted sleep.

I haven't been good today, either.

Lack of sleep can affect a lot of things @Birdofparadise8 . I also have to be careful not to under or oversleep.

I'm sorry to hear today hasn't been the best. Did you have uni? Are you working tonight? Or is it only Saturdays?

No, I only worked Wednesday this week as I worked three days last week @tyme

I've just done a bit of study today and looked up some info for a group assignment. I don't have much motivation for anything right now. I'm going down again.

@tyme Im a people person. Worked in customer service area for 37yrs before retiring and enjoy company of people I feel comfortable with at times.

difficult thing is poor cognitive ability at times.

Today one day she said something that when I rephrased to get clarification on I show the shocked look on her face and heard the honest apology

earlier today I phoned as part of trying to get clarification to which reply was she didn’t fully mean some of those things and is looking forward to us spending afternoons together during next couple months. She works part time in retail which always gets very busy from mid November until mid to late February. Even so, in February this year she spent one of her days off helping clean up my backyard and planted quite a few new plants just before my house started to be advertised for sale.

spoke to friend today who knows both of us who told me what else should I expect, her brain is semi fried due to her medical conditions

Argh, that makes sense @Former-Member

I think I SEEM a very people person and social (from the outside). I work with and around people ALL DAY, everyday. Yet inside, I honestly love my own company 🙂

I like being around kids, but I like handing them back too.

I'm glad you have been able to seek clarification about things. That helps because we are hall humans and can get communication jumbled a little sometimes.

@Birdofparadise8 , sorry you feel down today. When you mentioned group assignments, I'm cringing because I really did NOT enjoy group assignments. I worked with someone once, and the night before something was due, she said he had cockroaches in her laptop and lost all the work....in the end, I had to speak to the co-ordinator, and we were marked separately.

I know I have two this sem. I had one last sem and it was terrible @tyme

I'm going to have Weetbix for dinner I don't even want to cook or even go get takeaway.

I don't know why this keeps happening @tyme I don't even know how to explain.

Maybe accepting that having these emotions are okay rather than getting upset with yourself for having them? @Birdofparadise8 It's difficult, but it makes a difference to outlook.

I know it's okay to feel sad, but feeling sad most days every week isn't fun or being unable to do daily things. It's taken me enough effort just to have a shower today, @tyme.

I just want to get better and no matter what I'm trying nothing has helped. I'm at a loss. I just want to cry and forget about life.
