Re: not coping

I'm very tired, headachy, sore throat and every movement hurts @outlander 😔

I see you are off on your couple of days away, on Friday. I hope a couple of nights away will give you a break from all your usual commitments and responsibilities. A change of scene could be just what you need.

Im heading off to bed now. Will take a while to try and find a half comfy position.

Good night @outlander and anyone else around @Sans911 @Anastasia @Eve7 😴

Emelia 🌷

Re: not coping

Yes, no @outlander. I don't know. And I don't know if I care how I am right now. I want to completely shut down, hide away. But like so many with mental illness, I have to pretend all is fine. And in some moments, like, at the op shop this afternoon,where I can distract myself and be with positive, caring people I can be fine, I can laugh, I can forget all my problems for a few hours. But as the night closes in, the negative overthinking churns over.

My mother is here tonight, so I'm safe. And I have a course for the next 2 days plus study for my end of semester exam next Monday. So I can distract enough until then, and then I'll see how I am.

Re: not coping

Sorry i fell asleep so quickly @Sans911 this fatigue thing is so annoying.my sleeps not really the best though i keep having so many bad dreams. At least a few every night but so random in content though like not assiciated with my trauma.
My day yesterday wasnt to busy. I just done the horses and some housework but thats pretty much it.
Little bit busier today with needing to pick some click n collect stuff up, teaching sister to drive, and taking the other to swimming lessons and having them till midnight tonight.

Do you have much on today?
