~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Thanks @MissGremlin

I really hope you are well.

Not sleeping solidly can really mess with our physical and mental health.

Sending love and Zs to you @Taali ❤️

Waiting for the quotes to come up @MissGremlin ❤️

@SmilingGecko I have nightmares every night which is incredibly exhausting and takes time to calm down after i wake up with the panic attacks. I had a thorough blood test last year and everything there’s was normal so nothing that could be affecting my sleep. I've been on a medication for about 5 weeks now which unfortunately isn't doing anything yet but we're still going up in dosage each week. It's been like this for a couple of years now but wasn't as bad previously. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to get quality sleep again.

Thankyou @Taali sweet ❤️.

I'm just taking today very slowly and gently. Not getting enough sleep impacts everything.

Thanks @MissGremlin 

@MissGremlin Good seeing you post faithfully life has good to offer when we hold onto it. Important lessons to learn suffering from a depressive illness.

@MissGremlin doctors tests arent always conclusive. I had thyroid issues and my thyroid tests came back normal. My other tests in years gone by came back normal but I was very ill.

Have been told by healers that thyroid tests have a wide band of being healthy.

So you can still fall within a healthy range even though you have debilitating thyroid symptoms.

I had to go elsewhere to heal myself. GP's are only basic level of care.

@SmilingGecko if there was other symptoms then I'd probably seek further support around it but unfortunately mine is linked to CPTSD aswell as my other diagnoses.

@MissGremlin I've read nightmares are a way of releasing subconscious memory around trauma and the liver also releases adrenaline at night from previous trauma you have experienced tucked in liver cells. So the liver is effectively detoxing itself to get adrenaline out of your system at night which can make it hard to get a good nights sleep. Have heard in a healing community there are supps you can take for that to lower the risk of having nightmares but cant leave that here due to forum guidelines. Dont know how much luck you would have with that its hard to say. I started sleepwalking once after a trauma incident in a psych hospital. That had never happened to me before i never used to sleepwalk. I do understand. I no longer sleepwalk but can remember actually opening the window of my parents room when I got home from hospital pushing out the flywire and trying to get out the window, instead of going out the front door!

@MissGremlin hey hunny thank you for your wonderful affirmations i always appreciate. hope your day has gone well. love you always. bunnie xx
