💻Adge said "Hi Lapses Me agitated too, esp yesterday...
💻Appleblossom said "oh Adge thats no good you are feeling similar agitation to dear Lapses. Its one of the hardest feelings to get through. I have been a bit worried about Lapses with it. When I get really bad, playing the piano is about the only thing that calms me down and being quiet at home. No driving. Does anything help either of you Lapses & Adge ? ❤
I am not too bad today. cat sat beside me. Kids in other end of house doing music, and me at my end. A few loads of washing etc. Finished singing through the Beethoven and might start on my old timer collections and play through them ☺
💻Adge: "I agree Appleblossom Driving whilst feeling agitated is not a good idea. I find that doing a breathing meditation (eyes closed), helps to calm & centre me. I do a few of those each day - sometimes it only takes the edge off the agitation, other times it makes a huge difference (a new me). Either way, it's always worth the effort.
💻Appleblossom: "Adge, At least you are able to manage it a bit.
I used to meditate sitting upright, but mainly now I lie down curled up and meditate most days. My neck and back were really a problem and it was not until I gave myself to lay my head on a pillow in the day that I started to get better. I dont go along with brown being drab.lol. I love the patterns of subtle colour in many finches and birds generally. I have an old coat (10 year old but bought in op shop) that got great comments this week! Just by putting different browns together ... autumnal ...
💻Adge: "Yes, well I cannot meditate sitting upright Appleblossom. Even though I keep on being told (eg by psychologist) that I should be able to, or should make myself do it. It doesn't work for me, I don't relax - I have to lie down, cut out as much noise as I can, & cover my eyes. Only then can I relax & concentrate enough, to make a difference. I have been managing my chronic back pain (from scoliosis) for over 20 years, it costs me much sleep...

REPLY
💻 Thanks guys for posts, empathy & well wishes, connecting me in with your own pain (do not alone), picking up that i am troubled (anxious I'm 'losing the plot'). Memory is shot too, and dithering... Probably should have gone for a walk, but did have couple hrs laydown which brang relief for a bit - noticed breathing easier after a laydown, after brief Compassionate Breath Meditation, whoch made me fall adlerp. Surprising how tense my muscles are, don't kmow whats doung it. Do ya think its from the cortisone inj or more lack of sleep? Thinking i need a 'drink' but as you say - best not drive.
Gotta cook dinner now but check back soon, needing moral support atm.
