Re: Sleeping too much
e.d. is eating disorder.
It is a severe mi.
Takes a while to reach critical level, but takes down everything in its path @TAB .... not just "normal" relationship dysfunction .... but hides itself well ... masquerades ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi everyone, sorry to check in so late, hope you are keeping your head above water on this journey they call life. Your lives are so full I just can't imagine how I'd do it. Accept for you @Decadian, this k your situation is similarly as empty as mine, maybe.
Today I pushed myself to get to Ladies Bible Study & glad I did, related to the study content they actually thanked me for coming along, attending and showing support for the group. wow, I was chuffed. Usually feel I'm secretly not wanted. Wish she's didn't need this reassurance at my ripe age. Still learning to give it yo myself, not natural.
@Former-Member, yes I'm OK thanks, had a headache all day but resisted the urge to stay in bed all day. I was reading about your 'inner critic' awareness. About time silenced her a while to give you a break. You know that's the first rule in Self Compassion, to never again criticise yourself! There's far more gentle approaches than using sledge hammer to pull ourselves in line. Keep moving fwd Teej, you're picking up momentum.gradually, the best way. They say when we lose weight - the slower it comes off the more likely we are to keep it off.
@Faith-and-Hope, Thanks for your kindbposts. You haven't commrnted on my new profile pic - had to abandon Tawney, made me depressed every time i saw him, seemed too dark or domething. What I've caught up on, it sure is intense at your place, make sure you look after YOU! but think you know that. How did the 'talk' go with D1? // While reading about D3's 'meltdown' at you today, about her parents, I recalled something Dr Phil once said on TV "Children would rather be FROM a broken home than IN a broken home." D3 has a point. Maybe you can move WH into the guest room, or dog house, & announce you are officially separated while trying to work things out, or not!! Its so hard and we can't let our kids call the shots. Are you getting counselling yourself? I go once a month, seems to be enough (and all I can afford).
@Appleblossom, thanks, you'll just have to imaging my Tawney owl, being the night owl you are. What's with your sleep hygiene lately anyway?/Did I read you have cut right back / eliminated sedatives? Excellent!!! Hope your head is clearing and the SI is less. That's how it was for me when I cleansed Barbituates out of my system. The thoughts became more manageable.

@Faith-and-Hope
I really don't know how you live in this authentic pressure cooker with all the make-believe - I know you have a tiger by the tail - but not intervening with WH living the way he does is some kind of nightmare for you and is affecting D3 I think - was that talk with her about WH
You must have a lot of faith and hope to deal with all of this - I don't think I could - I had no patience with LH - and now realising that he probably had - still has most likely - sleep apnoea I feel sorry I was such a HW - I really feel for you and how you deal with all of this
You have so much compassion - what a dark and lonely way to live - and you have your own losses and I feel you must be left pretty much alone with this - and ordinary issues
I admire you - you are doing something I could not do - I think - you must love him

Hey @TAB. I'm just taking a stab in the dark that we are not celebrating day 4. Wondering what's going on with you?💜

Re: Sleeping too much
I just saw your new Avatar @Former-Member - really pretty - I can imagine you looking out of a window like that smiling
You are right that my life is not exciting at all in an external and public way - I have a lot of interests and I rarely feel bored but I think I do identify with you
The people I see in a week are mostly the people who come and help me out - shop keepers and the doctors staff - text with dd quite a bit - not every day - but definitely empty when it comes to family
It occurred to me that people might not come to my funeral - morbid thought - but I don't think so - kinda realistic - I would like to see my family while I am still about to enjoy them.
Silly thought - after all - who cares really - it's a terrible thought at this time of night -
But people are who they are - it is not my place in this world to change them - but just keep on my own path of learning
Sorry to be so morbid - it must be time for me to pack up and go to bed soon

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks for your encouragement @Former-Member. I guess lots of things are slowly coming together. I'm glad things went well for you today. I hope tomorrow is another good day for you too
