Re: not coping

@amber22 son at work, hubby with friends and daughter at friends house so only me home for dinner. Will probably be a piece of toast! I find when I am like this that I have a lot of trouble eating.

What are you having for tea?

Re: not coping

A piece of toast is a very yummy dinner, I often have vegemite toast for dinner! @Snowie

I think I'm going to get some takeout tonight - I don't feel like cooking!

It sounds like a peaceful night at home for you, hopefully you can watch something or do some journalling 🙂

Re: not coping

Take out sounds good @amber22 Much better then cooking.

I will probably end up having an early night tonight. Sleep hasn't been great lately and if I stay awake I will just ruminate on my thoughts. I normally journal before I go to sleep. Has become a part of my ritual now. Does help in getting my thoughts out.

Re: not coping

An early night sounds good @Snowie

I need to start journalling before I sleep, I've heard its really good to just brain dump everything on paper before going to sleep.

Do you find it helps you sleep a bit better (even though I know you have been struggling to sleep recently)?

Re: not coping

It does help me in getting to sleep better @amber22 . I find that I am more calm if I do the same things every night. It doesn't help me in staying asleep however, not much does. My pdoc increased my meds but that hasn't helped.
