Battles

Yeah @AlwaysMyself that's what it's there for. Back in another lifetime, a long long time ago...I used to couch rot. So, I implemented a rule that when I'm home, the TV doesn't go on until 2 pm. I can read, I can do anything else, but the TV doesn't turn on. It's a silly little personal rule, I know.

I've just woken myself up from a nap, because if I allow myself to nap now, this late in the afternoon, I won't sleep tonight.

@MissGremlin

@Shaz51 i was barely able to actually nap, it's just constant nightmares and panic attacks 😞.

@NightFury i hope your nap helped you to feel a bit better my sweet ❤️.

Maybe it's made me feel worse @MissGremlin because I want to go back to sleep.

And then this little voice pipes up from my psychiatrist appointment last week - I need to try harder and I am doing the absolute opposite of that at the moment. @AlwaysMyself

@NightFury oh I understand that sweet.

It's such a battle within myself @MissGremlin

I am burnt out and need to allow myself to rest, but it's hard when resting feels like giving in.

@NightFury i hear you sweet, i really do.

Just remember if we don't let ourselves rest now then our bodies will give us no other choice, usually by making us come down sick. I know it feels like giving in but it's rather allowing ourselves to give our bodies what they need.

I'm just not used to the whole rest thing, I guess @MissGremlin it's a challenge for me. Especially when it comes with guilt, shame, fear and other people's judgements to the contrary as well.

@NightFury i understand completely sweet.

Sending you hugs beautiful ❤️

Here comes the tears... @MissGremlin I'm okay, just emotional.
