Night Shift

Aren't you meant to be asleep @Kurra? 😝😴💤😴💤😴💤😴💤

I'm attempting sleep now too. Goodnight all 🤗💤😴💤

Hi @Former-Member

What are you up to tomorrow??

I have my EP session (gym) at 5.15pm, I am looking forward to this tomorrow just to see how much I can push myself. On Wednesday I am seeing my specialist and then going to see my niece and have dinner with her and her family.

Are you thinking about doing DBT??

I think I am going to do some journalling tomorrow so I don't forgot things for my appointment on Wednesday. I'm still feeling a bit tired but I know when it comes for me to go sleep, I will be wide awake. What time is it in SA?

@Former-Member It's nearly 11:00pm here.

I am feeling tired and luckily not much going around in my head for a change. I must have actually dealt with much of it in my session today. I had dot points today. It is definitely worth going prepared on Wednesday @Former-Member. Last week I started thinking about doing DBT again. I missed half last time. I think it would be better now. My therapist was behind it. She's trained in DBT too so I wouldn't have to change. We'll see. I think the wait list is long. Not sure what the mental health team will think. Have you done it?

It sounds like you have a busy and positive week which is fabulous.

💜😊🤗💐

G'night @Former-Member @Kurra ..... 💤💤 ..... sleep well ....

@Former-Member .... do your parents live far away ? It must be nice to be hosting them.

Nite @Former-Member

I do think I should spend less time overall on the forum. So limiting myself. I really appreciated you noticed when I was quiet. Still apppreciate it.Tearing up.

Just logged on I am tired and its the right time of day to feel that way.

@TAB I can accept that. You probably just dont realise how long and hard it has been. I am obviously very raw and anxious as it has just taken me a long time to get good medical care and I had to deal with a new doctor again this week. I have been thinking maybe I should go to the Ombudsman as it might be that kind of an issue. There are 2 doctors names I can cite and they can maybe do some research get documents etc ... I dont really want to fight anyone. So I let things go. I liked that @Sahara asked me a direct question when she didnt quite undestand, rather than dismiss what I was saying, avoid or judge me. it was fair enough. I am so tired of people presuming to know or understand. I am so tired of being judged but i have to face up to the fact that others do it. I might joke and say it is my turn to judge .. but there is anger in me about that too.

When I went off in the car today after that last post.. an adult rode straight out in front of me .. he was without a helmet and on a kid's bike, I made the judgement to slam on the brakes and bipped the horn a long time. He was deliberate .. and started to wave in and out of the lanes ... and stared me down ... I kept bipping ...and stared back ... no contest of course and he eventually turned away ... I also said "no" to the beggar in the train .. we were captive audiences .. I am not a complete fool or a walkover or the village idiot .. I really did only have a dollar on me .. am struggling enough.

it will be wonderful if my son and I have turned the corner regarding the night shift. This thread did help me, and therefore him, a lot.

I'll let you unwind @Former-Member -I think you were going to head off to bed. I have not done DBT before but I was thinking about doing it. But it depends on what my schedule is like next year. I know I am comitted to do the volunteer work for the next 12 months. I think I will get a lot of it because I will be interacting with a lot of people and I think that will be really good for me. Plus I am outside in the fresh air and getting plenty of exercise.

I have a fairly busy week ahead and not sure what I will be doing Thursday but no doubt there will be things to do and on Friday I have my mate staying for the weekend.

I am really glad you got a lot out of the session today and you are feeling more grounded tonight- which is great. I hope you have a great day tomorrow

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

My parents live about 45mins drive away depending on traffic conditions. It will be nice to spend some with them and looking forward to going out to dinner tomorrow night. How are you @Faith-and-Hope ?
