The Weekly Friday Feast

@Adge, I meditate too, though often fall asleep due to fatigue. I still think it's beneficial.

@Bunniekins, I too had about a year when I slept about 20 hours a day.

Winter up here is 25% during the day and 18% at night @Adge, @Bunniekins

@Mazarita That is so interesting ... I put it down to my mind was trying to repair itself and needed to sleep and that sounds exactly like me. I would put my son on his bus and go straight to sleep, sleep all day until he came home and then drag myself around tryin to keep up with him until I could get him to bed then I crashed.

I bearly showered because I didnt have the energy could barely brush my teeth. I was exhausted ... is it a symptom of bi polar 1? or do you think as I wrote up the top our minds were fractured at the time and needed time to repair themselves.

It wouldn't be an Aussie Day Friday Feast without some Vegemite.

@soul It wouldnt be Australia Day without our favourite jelly fish 🙂

@Bunniekins, I've never met anyone before who had that same experience. I think it was deep depression, overload of stress, and the mind trying to repair itself as well. It came after my last breakdown from work. I think it is a symptom of bipolar 1 too.

Hi @soul

Yes vegemite definitely @soul

Jellyfish? @Bunniekins But you can't eat a jellyfish. Or did you mean jelly for dessert?

@Mazarita Maz your words have just helped me so much because I too have never come across anyone else that has gone through that same experience and although I would never want anyone (particularly you) to be a 'Sleeping Beauty' it is a relief in a way that I am not alone in experiencing it.

@Adge We need to open our Country Women's Association Cook Book's and get some recipie's going!

Me too, @Bunniekins. It is a relief to know that this was not a singular experience, peculiar to me alone. It has been hard to understand that time in my life. I am still recovering from it. I have found it harder and harder to recover from my many breakdowns from work as time has gone by. I don't expect to work again due to this inability to handle the stress, and the degenerative process my breakdowns have taken. My psychiatrist instead is very supportive of my creative activities. He says in my case he believes quality of life is the main aim now.
