Re: Sleeping too much
@DIZ710, thank you for sharing your story, and I'm glad you have found medication that helps. Yes, I do suffer Depression and Anxiety, BPD, C-PTSD, C-Grief (among other labels). Winter doesn't help, and extreme loneliness & maybe some really bad habits. Nothing important to get up for... My husband used to simplify it by declaring "some people just don't cope with life well" others say "attention seeking" "lazy" "loser" ... ... I have recently had an increase of antidepressant which is helping lift negative thoughts, but the body - its a bit slower catching on. Gotta retrain it, somehow. Trying to shut the world out, stop seeing community as an option for me, cocoon myself in my own world but working on getting my house in order so I can have peace here and not have to go seeking it. If that makes any sence. There's things to do, just have to discipline a routine maybe. Hoping spring will help, usually does. Overdue for annual bloods, so will get onto that, re thyroid etc. Thanks for posting.

Re: Sleeping too much
'Morning @Former-Member .... 😊
You've got a couple of hours in me over your way ....
Ready for coffee ? I slept well, but a bit short, and it's gonna be crazy-busy for a while this morning .... as I'm awake already I'm gonna get my butt up and outa bed for a coffee out of the house .... might take a thermo cup and go for a short walk .... gotta respect the low-on-sleep state and not flog myself, like you-know-who does .... :face_with_rolling_eyes:
Any birdsong happenin' ? I can hear something tweeting outside, but it's overcast, windy and rainy here today, so any bird life respectful of its feathers will probably be hunkered down somewhere sheltered and saving their energy to keep warm .... 😊💜
Hi @DIZ710 😊
Are you new to the Forums ?

@Former-Member @Former-Member
Went searching "tiny houses" on the internet last night .... I am intrigued by them .... probably something about the "pod-like" cocoon-ness of them .... dunno .... but anyway .... caravans and shows about American "trailer" homes appeal to me ....
Check this one out ....
It's built in a tree somewhere ....
How's for up-close-and-personal with nature ? Makes me think of the Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Snow White cartoons .... babes that dance around with birds and fur-babies, singing along with them .... 😏🌷
Just thought I would share a Saturday morning distraction with ya ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Faith-and-Hope, yes, love to join me out for cuppa, maybe take a walk myself (gosh, did I actually just say that?). But can't do both. Glad to say the ache in the pit of my stomach is gone this morning. The sun is shining & there's magpies talking away - love their song.
Nice to see you. Thanks for checking in 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
❤️❤️❤️ magpie-song ....
Think it's my favourite.
Warbling ....
Used to have big trees opposite us at our previous home, and that's something I really miss .... the magpies in those trees in the mornings and evenings ....
And their funny curiosity and strutty walk ....
Enjoy ❣

Re: Sleeping too much
Btw ... glad that ache has gone from your inside ..... that's how I would have described my feeling coming out I last weekend .....
When that happens I throw TLC at it till it shifts ..... simple pleasures like carrot cake, listening o birds, and piano music via ear buds, foot massage, chocolate, flowers for me, perfume samples at makeup counters ....
I think of it like inner bruising .... an if I had an outer bruise I would reach for ice, arnica, chocolate, acknowledgement of the hurt ....
Dealing with the inner bruising is part of being your own best friend, and reaching for girlfriend time, which we've got here on the Forums ....

Re: Sleeping too much
@Faith-and-Hope, sounds like you relate to the 'heartache' - inner bruising. For me it feels like a 500g lead pendulum, my heart has turned to rock just laying there lifeless. It's eased up with sleep. Like your ideas about making those days nurturing days 🙂

I recognise that I have a milder dose of it @Former-Member, but I am hopeful it's the same sort of antidote .... even if you need a much higher strength of it ....
Lets aim at reducing the 500kg weight in increments ..... and maybe reducing the span of the pendulum swing .... ?
Did you end up walking for a bit ? Soak in that sunshine, Sunshine .....

Re: Sleeping too much
May I join you for a cuppa? @Former-Member & @Faith-and-Hope 💜 I just made my first one for the day, lazy morning. Sorry to hear about your "heavy" heart @Former-Member. I know how that feels. Glad a sleep helped a bit. It can feel devastating when it's happening. Are you a coffee or tea drinker? I like strong coffee in the morning. 💜
