Far and Away

Two wins today then @Faith-and-Hope

I know how much pressure WH puts on D2 (from what you have told me) - that is really great that he is likely to see a psychologist - will hopefully take a little of the burden off you also How is he doing at uni - keeping up or falling behind with the depression? That's tough to deal with and study as well!

So pleased WH listened - that is a massive win Does he come back tomorrow or Thursday - I can't remember!

Image hasn't come up yet - think the mods are a bit busy tonight!!!!!!!!

whoops @Faith-and-Hope -meant S2 - getting the letters of the kids mixed up - sorry

So do I sometimes @Zoe7 .... get the letters of the kids mixed up .... lol .....

S2 has been sinking at uni .... he is struggling with social anxiety, and his sleep hours tipped from night into day again .... I know you know about that. The dr has put him in sleep meds for the moment to start with that one .....

oh shite - that is so hard to break out of too - I feel for you both I have been doing really well the last week with sleep - until tonight. It just takes one 'little' thing to stop me wanting to sleep - and tonight has been one of those nights. One thing on top of another and I'm up, awake and know it's going to be a long night. I hope the sleep meds work for him and can stop the cycle before it gets too hard to break. @Faith-and-Hope

I have to tell you all about my day - it has been a very up and down down.

Firstly - I nearly had an accident driving to the psychiatrist. I drove around a very sweeping bend and the car slid towards the side rail (it was wet and probably oil on the road) - I tried to correct but slid the opposite way. I really thought the car was going to flip over - but by some miracle I held on and slowly corrected to bring it back on the road. I was so grateful that nothing was coming the other way or the outcome would have been quite different

As you can imagine I was pretty stressed after this and was still shaking when I arrived to see the psych. I did settle and was much more open with her today than I have been previously.

It is also extremely likely that I have had concussion for the last few days since I fell and hit my head - GP and psych both think so considering I don't know how long I was unconscious for on Saturday night - could have been a few seconds or minutes - definitely didn't get up off the floor for over an hour!!!! If my headache isn't better tomorrow I have to go back and have a CT scan - bugger!

Then after I saw the psych I called into a shop and there were these really cute stone bowls and ornaments. This is where it gets a bit weird - the first stone I picked up said FAITH and the second one said HOPE - so bizarre. I did smile at that - should have bought them to show you!!! - and the third stone said believe - just one of those days!!!!!

Wow .... that was a really up and down day @Zoe7 ... no wonder you are feeling so unsettled .... I think I would be too ....

Love that you "found me" today re FAITH and HOPE ,.... 🤗❤️💕

I was 'blindsided' by something on tv tonight too - just the little things that can send you 'over the edge'. So much happening in one day (and night) - sh*t happens hey!

When does WH comeback? @Faith-and-Hope

It does, @Zoe7 ....

WH is back tomorrow night.

@Faith-and-Hope

How are you feeling about that?

Me thinks you may have face planted @Faith-and-Hope - I do hope so - but in a "i'm in bed and it is ok" kinda way - not a "hit my head and knocked myself out" kinda way like I did ...LOL

I hope you reach a higher sleep tally tonight

I am going to try to get a couple of hours sleep at least.

Catch up with you later my wonderful friend...
