Re: rough time

Resting your body is important too @outlander I have certainly learnt that over many years of not sleeping. Even just drifting in and out of sleep while you are resting gives your brain some time to switch off - maybe surround yourself with some nice scents and lay down with some background noise on - that often helps me to drift off even if it is only for a little while - every little bit you can get is helpful.

Re: rough time

You are the one being hard on yourself @outlander so you can either accept that you need the support right now or not - but either way that has to be up to you. It takes courage to seek support when it is needed and strength to accept it.

Re: rough time

Good choice Hon - that shows strength and that is a trait that has become more evident in you over time - and that is really positive @outlander
