Re: Sleeping too much
Yeah, had a sleep, being up all night messes with thoughts & mood. Turns out to not be as bad as it seems, little sleeps work when not agitated. Have a B'day lunch Sunday so just hanging on 'till then for relief. Wash day, self care day tomorrow (hair nails etc).
Didn't pick up more chit chat support earlier, never been good at asking for help, its such a fine line trying to be positive yet reach out for help. Sometimes feels like everyone is sick of me. Guess my needs are my responsibility, I know, and everyone seems to be having a heavy week & busy tonight.
My dog is acting unwell today too. Giving him lots of tlc which works magic for animals.
I did hear from my son:
"All is good here. We're good.
Tam... is good. I'm good.
We're good. All is good here.
How about there?"
Guess that's the best I'll get for another f/n
Sitting in front of the heater. So cold.
Hope everyone is OK. Pretty active here tonight, with Friday Feast.
@Former-Member, sadface was to say I feel your pain, - i see you're struggling, feel it, holding you in the light. Glad you have support visits Thur,(wish I had private cover) You seemed to want to hybernate on your thread today, I espect that. Wasn't sure if to but in.
@Faith-and-Hope, walking is a good idea, I struggle getting out the door. You seem to have picked up a bit today, your tears, silence & sadness earlier in the week were nearly palpable across the timezone. Glad you've had some little breakthroughs to boost your faith (God knows you needed it), and this recent one tonight where he realised home was better than running in the cold & rain. Wow! encouraging.
@Decadian, where you hiding? RUOK?
And @everyoneelse, hi

Re: Sleeping too much
Some good news in there today @Former-Member ....
You do a fantastic job with that self-care day .... I'm taking notes for when things slow down a bit at my place ....
WH still jumped into his car to spend the evening with his mum .... which was his response a few years ago when I insisted that was Youth Group night for the kids and I was a co-ord .... but it's baby steps all the way .... so much to undo that it's not going to happen easily. Gotta celebrate every success and be thankful for them all ....
Hope your Claypan is alright .... maybe picking up on your mood a bit ? Give him a hug for me ....
Temp seems to have risen here a bit tonight after that rain. Having curry for dinner ... the mob has been back for a while, and some have popped out to pick it up .... I'm sort of off-duty by default ... 😏✅
Hugs @Former-Member .....
See you for coffee in the morning .... with @Former-Member too ?
💗🌷💕

Re: Sleeping too much
In the end all we can do is share ... @Former-Member You can take dignity with the church ladies ... teary is good ... teary means we can understand others tears ... and are connected in our "affects". Hold your own with self-respect, maybe they cant offer more ..
Your son is letting you know he and his gf are ok .. a lot of the young ones do not understand the importance of church, religion, faith and belief in the lives of previous generations. I never mocked my family but have had mockery from my 2 biological kids .. but also understanding from my son ... slim little bit of understanding nothing to write home about .. but I hang on to it.. cos somehow it seems to stop him from going over to the other side .. if you know what I mean.
Still your son sounds like a decent chap .. just nuture your heart with that ... OUR families have been too damaged by life to be able to love us in the way we needed ... but i still like you and can relate you MORE specifically because of that.
I have gotten attached to you .. No I am not sick of you ... so dont do a runner please ... just hang around ... its good when its good and c**p when its c**p and thats the way it is ... I always go for the mixed bag .. not the life is a box of chocolates ... In a mixed bag ... we usually have a bit of liquorice ... which I love .. and its all black ... but not bad ...
Saw a video telling the importance of a bit of vinegar in the mix of our lives .. we can leave out the sour bits ... cos it goes to making us whole.
Take care @Former-Member

Re: Sleeping too much
Is there any chance that you are depressed?
For me when I become depressed it is nothing for me to sleep vetween 12 to 16 hours a day. This is because if I stay awake I constantly go over and over all the vad things that have hapoened to me and I have done. My doctor believes that my excessive sleeping is my way dealing with my depression. Tgere are times when I get depressed and no matter what I do I can not stop the thoughts from forming and getting worse and worse. When this hapoens sleep is sparodic and usually full of terrifying nightmares.
I also hatdly eat or drink very much when this hapoens. For me it can last from a couple of days to a coupke of months with the occassional good day.
Because I have been doing this for so long I have managed to get on the right antidepressant and mood stabiliser. It took a few different ones before I found the right mix and dosage. Now i very rarely suffer from this and when I do it is not as debiltating and I can still manage to function and work.
I would suggest that you speak to your doctor about trying a antidepressant and see if this helps your sleeping problem
