Re: not coping

You've had a productive date then if you have sorted a hospital admission. It's hard to hear your pop is sundowning-thats so difficult & distressing to manage. You shouldn't have to see your pop decline in this way.

I was actually reluctant to try sleeping tablets again @outlander. But my gp insisted that I should just trial for a while. I use the Calm app and I really enjoy listening to the sleep stories on there. I never get to the end of any story. My biggest problem is going to sleep so late, and then being woken early by my cat or something else. And particularly this last week I've not had much opportunity to go back to sleep..

I'm just going to take my meds. The reminders keep flashing up on my phone and annoying me heaps.

Re: not coping

Sorry to hear you had a rough night @outlander

Nightmares are so hard to deal with. Hopefully you can get some rest today hon.

I am ok I guess, just trying to get motivated to do everything I need to do.

Re: not coping

Thats tough @outlander having so many nightmares. I hope they don't get any worse for your sake hon.

Motivation is super hard to get. I have gotten to the supermarket and picked D up from work so thats two things ticked off the list.

Time for a cuppa and a rest now.

Re: not coping

Dear @outlander ,

i read a bit of your recent posts, I did not realise that you cope with so much. You do amazingly well I am not surprised when I read that you are tired.

I am always here Outlander, and will offer what support I can
