@CheerBear That's exactly what I'm doing, sitting with a coffee. Thank you for the drop off. Furbaby had a check up yesterday, passed with flying colours. Big smile from me. 😃😃It could happen again, if so she might need an op to remover the gland. But for now she's good. Me too. Makes me happy knowing she's not in pain etc.

Did you get any sleep @CheerBear youre up early for a Saturday????

Good morning everyone else here @Former-Member@Shaz51@Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7

I forgot to answer your question yesterday @CheerBear yes I have more project ready and waiting. I have two cross stitches on the go and need to finish them before I start another. Slow going atm, as concentration and mood are low. But looking forward to it when I get there.💛💜💜💜

Re: Taking the plunge

Smiles at your post @Maggie 😊 I can feel the happy at your good news with fur baby. So glad she's going OK.

I can't sleep in, weekend or weekday. I have a new med I'm trying and it has given me a couple more solid hours during the night, but I woke early again this morning. Both mornings now I've also had the added not-funny of an anti psychotic hangover to go with my morning cuppa. Ugh :face_with_rolling_eyes: But sleep is good.

Hearing you with slow going with craft. Mine also, but I think it has to be taken at our own pace, whatever pace that is, because rushing or putting pressure on ourselves to get there any faster takes from the good feelings I think. It's great to hear you have them to do ❤

@CheerBear The meds hangover is a hard one. That's why I can't take sleeping meds, the hangover,and only two hrs sleep. I think I have a funny meds thingie in me, nothing works like it's supposed to.

Re: Taking the plunge

Big time same here @Maggie. I'm in such a pickle with it. I can't work out whether my 'normal' sleep is worse or better than sleep with meds. I'm leaning to thinking that med sleep is not actually better for me, especially when I have to get up and function for the kids. If only there was a magic sleep fix for us all 😔

I know @CheerBear im on hyper alert all the time. I imagine it's a bit or a lot the same for you. But you have 3 LF, super beautiful gifts, but huge responsibility. Little energy left for you. I spent some time yesterday talking to my counsellor about meds. An interesting talk, but no outcome. Complex issue. We are all different, there's the problem. My counsellor said there's no pill for a broken heart...so true.

Re: Taking the plunge

That's so true with the broken heart @Maggie. I keep saying there are no meds that can fix this. Meds can help make it a little easier in a way or take the edge off, but I find taking the edge off one thing, tips the balance with another. Trial and error doesn't feel safe while I'm the way I am at the moment. Complex definitely. Hyper alert - absolutely too.

Big hugs for you and your hurt heart 💗

Re: Taking the plunge

Humm the balance @CheerBear. I've never found it. Is there a balance????? Trial and error....we are in our skin 24/7, and know exactly what's happening. Trying to put that into words is beyond me, and most I find. Relief from the pain for me comes in small, very small time spans. Then the waves crash over again. It's really just doing/ being in the littles and the bigs. I hope you get this. I think you will. So yes the edges, balances.🙃🙃🙃

Re: Taking the plunge

I hunt for balance with so much, and it appears it's a very difficult one to find @Maggie!

I hear your words and understand them. So glad to know you.

Thank you ❤
