Night Shift

Hi All,

How are you all? I'm wearing my new ugg boots that was very suprisingly given to me by a strange friend yesterday. I've finished the first chapter of the short story I'm writing .....

HI @Angels333 Sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious, though i can relate, also feeling really edgy and panicky. sigh! need an off button!

@eth yes, i've heard about the long mid year break they have up there! here in SA we just have 2 weeks but at christmas we get 6 weeks (and i think up there they get 4?)

@Former-Member The kids have had some sleep overs with their dad overnights in the last few months, but find them so stressfull that im not able to relax or sleep well. maybe one day i'll get used to it (as people keep telling me to) and use it as me time and recuperation time... i suppose! I hope that you get some sleep tonight and wake up feeling a bit better tomorrow maybe

@Former-Member My darling friend @Former-Member

Since I was 15 years old....my moods have been haywire. It was like: I had all this excess empathy for others and didnt know where to put it.

My husband tells me that I'm a lot nicer after the accident when I was 15......but for years and years...I was an emotional completely overwhelmed person. When I saw the Psychiatrist from the local Psych hospital, it was like, Almost immediately, I knew how to manage it. My youngest son moved in and I managed his little breakdown at the hospital really efficiently and then, decided to see my Psychotherapist about writing...I must say, I must tell @Silenus that he has very inspired me.

I think it is a great idea for me to get on them.

@Angels333 sending you warm wishes to get through the night ok and that tomorrow's appointment goes well for you.

Hi @PeppiPatty how are you?

Hey @Angels333, I think it seems perfectly reasonable to feel anxiety before your appointments especially with the depth of your appointments at the moment. I think distracting tonight is really wise. Sending best wishes and hugs for your appointment tomorrow😊💜

hi @PeppiPatty

Way to go on finishing your first chapter👍. Still jealous of those ugg boots😊

@Former-Member I know it seems so long away but things will get better eventually. In the meantime I have total empathy for all the stress and distress that you will go through. Don't ever underestimate how difficult your situation is. Thinking of you always 😊💜

Hi @Angels333 i get so anxious before seeing my psychiatrist and definitely understand. i also sh and find when i get so anxious that its the only thing that helps me settle myself enough to cope which isnt great. i not sure thats helpful, but i get so worried about what he will ask, and how i will answer, that i work myself up so much more than i need to and end up hurting so much inside... but it usually goes better than i expect it to.

hope that you're ok tomorrow and that the appointment goes ok

hugs
