Night Shift

Namaste @Former-Member, good to see you back again. You are still young. Sometimes I feel old (especially since I've started menopause), but I've still got a young at heart feeling.

If I had a magic wand I would remove anxiety from your life. I've lived with it since childhood too. The good news is that it is much less than I experienced around your age. Hopefully time will assist you too, as well as the various active approaches you are taking to improve your condition. Great that yoga is proving to be so very beneficial to you.

I got $50 from my Mum for xmas too. I bought a top at the op shop today for $3 so still $47 left! 😛 I don't watch much TV and don't recognise Carl Barron by name, though I might recognise him if I saw him. Cool that you now have that to look forward to with your partner. I'm planning a trip to Melbourne in April to see Mum, other family and friends. I'll be taking her out to dinner while I'm there so will also get a chance to wear dress up clothes for a change. It is a nice feeling to do that sometimes, though my days of wearing heels are behind me (leg problems). Still I've got some really nice flats that I save for special occasions too.

Thanks for your support with the smoking reduction. It's so true what you say about knowing about sleep hygiene but finding it very hard to adhere to. Psychologist gave me a couple of extra ideas today (meditation an hour before bedtime, turning off the computer and TV and doing colouring instead in the final hour of the day, lowering light levels in the flat if possible at that time too). I agree that we shouldn't beat ourselves up about it, but just keep trying.

@PeppiPatty So glad you are getting a lot out of the vibration machine and looking forward to seeing it!

hi All,

Hello @Angels333 I saw you on the feast.....thinking about you........

I came in too late and Arlo was busting to eat everyone's bones too......

Heres a photo of my vibration machine. I got a hypervibe vibration machine.....it's good. I feel all my fat shaking...even the fat under my face.......scarey............

It cost 1000 interest free ....20 per week......

I researched a lot and found that this one makes the most sense.........

Hi @PeppiPatty. Your picture isn't showing up yet, just have to wait a while for it. Plenty of bones still there at the feast for Arlo I think. What have you been doing today, any plans for tomorrow? I went for a big beach walk yesterday and it was great. Not today because I had another appointment and my legs were too sore for beachwalking after getting out to that. Hopefully tomorrow.

Good to see you too, dear @PeppiPatty,

So glad to hear you are still at the beach regularly. It cheers me up to know you and Arlo are out there doing it too.

The machine looks like a box of some sort in the photo. How do you use it?

Awesome that you are having a good experience with your new support worker and are getting a break with her. I hope you get more breaks aside from that too. I used to be addicted to milkshakes and had one every day when I was younger. Yum. What flavor do you have? My favorite is caramel. Next week I meet with my new support worker. Looking forward to it though I'm a bit anxious about starting with a new person. A bit scared that she might be too 'strict' with me or disapprove of me for some reason. What a silly billy I am sometimes, eh? Lol.

Cool that you have the ARAFMI support group. I was at my support group yesterday, there were only two of us and the group leader but it was good anyway. I've become a regular of the group in a short time. The place I go has only been in existence since about last September and is in walking distance along the beach (takes about 40 minutes). The group I like to attend (specifically for bipolar) happens every two weeks, which seems like good timing to me now as my life is getting busier with appointments and activities outside the flat.

Hope you get some okay sleep tonight.
