Night Shift

Pleased to know you @comet ......

I am sorry to hear that you have such a troubled back-story, and there have been huge struggles involved for you ....... like @Teej I hope we can contribute to a better in-front-of-you story 🌷

What does your cat look like, if you don't mind me asking ..... ?

It sounds like a lot of positives came out of your day @BlueBay 😊

And writing down your worries for the psych doctor sounds like another positive move. It gives you the chance to rehearse a bit what you want to say, and reading it can be a lot more steady that trying to find exactly the words you want to use in the moment. I like it ❣

@BlueBay, that's awesome. I like orange too. But my favorite color is red! (Close enough, right?)

I love thick scarves, they're simply nice. 🙂

Thanks!

Good job @Angels333. Well done ❣

I have started walking again - longer distances that is - after a bit of a lapse. My hips are not thanking me for it at the moment ...... but I am going to persevere and they will get with the program again.

😊

Hey, @Angels333, that's awesome! Keep it up. 🙂

Hi @Former-Member, @Decadian, @Angels333, @BlueBay,

Thanks for the callouts earlier today after I'd left for the women's group.

@Angels333, wow, that is an awesome bike ride! Never mind that you didn't make the full distance. What you did is great.

@BlueBay, great that you continued knitting through the hard emotions you were going through. I agree that knitting is mindfulness in action. Nice that you ended up having coffee and a bit of a walk later, after all. Cooking dinner and picking up leaves in the driveway, aces on top. I think it's a really good idea to show your psychiatrist what you wrote about your destructive feelings. Way better than acting on them. It also might help your psychiatrist understand more deeply some of what you are going through, which could mean more effective help from them for you.

@Snuchu, so glad you got a better chunk of sleep! High five from another groovy 'old bat'.

@Mazarita, high five! It wasn't exactly perfect, I rolled around a lot, but I did sleep.. Unlike the 2 hours when I was half awake two nights ago.

@Snuchu, do you get sleep in longer blocks when you are not taking the substances? Hoping you get a really good long sleep soon.

@Mazarita, yes. I sleep regularly 8 to 10 hours, but that's with the aid of green smoke. (it's doctor approved, though!)

Otherwise, I have a hard time sleeping sometimes, but with the substances it's worse, every night.
