@TAB
Are you working away for work? I'm trying to zone out too- my way of self soothing. This week has gone quick, it will be Monday before you know it.

Re: Checking In
@oceangirl I’m sorry you are struggling, and a lot is expected of you.
It’s really awful not getting any , or enough sleep.i understand that too well. Can you rest during the day ?
Can you discussed how things have got worse since you’ve been on these meds with your dr ? There might be something different you can try.
Well done on finishing your course, and keeping up with exercises.
Sending some ❣️❣️❣️

Re: Checking In
hi @oceangirl im so sorry things are so tough at the moment, have you thought of speaking to the doctor about some sleeping meds to help you sleep? a lot of your symptoms are from anxiety as i experiance them on a daily basis. with reguards to people asking you to do too much, your health and well being always has to come first. im so glad you are keeping up with your excercise it is so so important to stay motivated.
please try to be ok with where you are at and try not to put too much pressure on yourself each day.
hugs

Re: Checking In
@Maggie It is good to hear from you.
I am sorry you struggle with sleep too. My sleep is not in sync atm but I try not to put pressure on myself, in terms of my sleep. I was meant to go out for lunch today but I couldn't make it because of my sleep. My sleep took prioprity and I slept late afternoon too.
I will phone my Dr tomorrow to see GP or specilaist that prescibed this medication. The medication is HRT (hormones) and not sure if it has made others worse. I have not been on it very long and might be the adjustment period. I didn't want to stay on it too long- I was hoping it would help me a little.
I am proud of myself for finishing the course and keeping up with my exercise. Thank you for your support and friendship. Its made me feel better 🙂
