I am really not doing so well & I am struggling. I can't seem to function too well atm. I am shutting down. I saw my psych today, and she doesn't think doing exercise science is going to be good choice to study because there is not much work available in this field.
I am not able to articulate too well, what is happening for me. I am just exhasuted and scared and alone.

Afternoon @Zoe7
Hope you had a good day
Appointment went well
My sleep was okay, still better then what it has been in the past
I don't like to pressure on myself with the sleep- I do what I can when I can
I think we have a similar strategy
I washed and polished my car this afternnon saved myself a few dollars

@oceangirl @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom ... was going to clean my car but decided it would just get dirty again so why bother... lol lol It has half of the sand from the beach in it so really should return it to where it came from anyway lol
@oceangirl Glad your appointment went well - did you ask about your stomach and headaches?
I think we are on the same page re: sleep - what we can, when we can - no pressure I think it is helping me get a little more sleep - definitely more than I used to!
I did actually do something constructive today - I mowed the (small) backyard and did some weeding. I was a good girl and stopped as soon as I started to get tired - bit sore now but ok. Had a shower and then stood under the cool water for a while to help soothe my muscles a bit - see... being a 'good girl' sis!!!
Done my usual chemist visit but forgot to go to the other chemist to get my painkillers (cheaper) - might need them tonight after all I've done today - so will head out soon. I better go before MaFS lol
Catch ya when I get back sis

Hi again sis @oceangirl
Glad that it is a bit cooler there tonight - Kira should be happy
Now I can tell you the stupid thing I did yesterday - that has just started really hurting today!!!!
I was standing on a chair putting things back up on a shelf and jumped off (no shoes - you know how much I hate shoes if I can get away with it - remember my little trip to hospital!!!!!) I landed straight on top of a push pin that had fallen off the board and it went staright into the sole of my foot - foot swollen and sore today - a few naughty words were spoken yesterday!!!!! I am starting to wonder if I may need to reconsider my weraing of shoes - at least when I am doing things around the house 
I know what you will be thinking - YES I'm an idiot and yes I'll try to remember to put some shoes on next time - no promises but I will try!!!!!!

Hi @Appleblossom
I'm just glad the car is clean for now and I don't have to worry about it for a few weeks. I find swimming and morning sun and a more healthier diets helps with the sleep.
What have you been up to today?
