Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
I read this page in the thread but for the life of me can't remember who wrote what - but I can say this positive thing
This morning - I think yesterday too - I heard the birds singing early in the morning - we have had a couple of mild days here - and the days are markedly longer - so the dreaded winter is passing
I had another migraine yesterday - the screen bothered my eyes so I did not use my computer except to see if there was any important mail - I went to the pain clinic on Thursday and there have been no changes to my medication and I am not having enough - and I was told I look better - d'uh
That's okay - apparently the idea is to be so interested in things that I don't feel the pain -
Anyway - I do have Seasonal Affective Disorder - the specialist told me this as if it was a realisation of great importance - I am sure I have told her myself -
So I am having a down time - maybe it is a puddle compared to other down times in my life but it is still making my life tough
This is whinging - but I am here and hope to answer some messages

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
I need a good cup of coffee and some toast I think - what a good idea - call it lunch
mmm - I like that scripture - he came to set the captives free - and to bind up the broken hearted - yes
My favourite one is that he will wipe every tear from every face - luckily eternity has no time limits - there will be no waiting for anyone - it does help the heavy hearted
I am thinking more about that coffee - I made a friend a cup of tea in a teapot yesterday - she said it was the best cup of tea she'd had for ages - I didn't like it myself - but that could have been my migraine - anyway - today my stomach thinks I have forgotten it -

Hi @Former-Member
Ah yes - life can be difficult - I always feel better after a shower - I didn't have one yesterday and woke up with dirty hair and hated myself - I really have to eat something substantial - I guess my tum is still feeling a bit hit and miss after a migraine - two in three days - really bad
So I could not look at my computer screen - not for long anyway - even my phone made my headache worse
So - IAMOK2DAY
I hope your dog is okay - my cat is my companion and has the run of the house - tending toward old age herself - we are at the same stage of life together - anyway - she is bored with winter and although she sleeps most of the time she can be very naughty at times - and worse atm - like openthedoorhumanletmeinandoutandinandoutandinandout or - I will scratch the couch to bits!!!!!!
Maybe I am touchy because of having migraine - touchy tum anyway - maybe time I ate
I hope you are okay - take it quietly and look after your furkid and enjoy the birthday tomorrow

And thanks for asking - very pleased
It can be hard asking for help - I find it hard - yet here everyone seems happy to help - I find it better to take breaks from anything and everything some times
Dr Phil is no longer on my list of favourite people - actually I thought it was funny a lot of the time - but since I have so many other things to do stopping for an hour in the middle of the day is a total waste
Ask on if you need support - I was not here - but if I am - I like to feel I can add something that might improve

Re: Sleeping too much
One neg about feeding the wild birds is all the weeds that come up in the grass. The clover is particularly troublesome, trying to keep it down before it goes to seed is impossible. Only got 1/2 done but worked up a sweat & the long stuffs gone. Surprised myself, really didn't feel up to it but somehow manage. Wanted to wash the car but can't.
After picking up the gift I took the dog to the park for a run about, no I didn't sit in the car, i walked too. So after all that, think I've made up for sleeping half the day away.
Having someone to share my day with here on the forums, is a steange kind of accountability that motivates. Like it! Thanks.
Have to tell you, the weirdest thing happened in my dreams this morning, I actually dreamed about meeting two of you for coffee. How weird is that when we haven't even met in the flesh?. Wishful thinking I guess but very real. All three of us were expecting something different in each others appearance but it was great time together, fun. One of you were very shy. Ha ha,, bet you're wondering who it was. Surprised me. You'll probably laugh when I tell you what you looked like...
Hope your weekend is going well.
Check back soon.

I hope you are feeling better today. Migraines are horrible, I know I get them every so often.
Actually I'm not having dinner tonight as I feel a bit yuk in my tummy and just going to have a cup of peppermiint tea. Actually since changing my meds I don't feel hungry - good thing in a way as i have lost some weight but don't want to lose too much. May need to tell my psych.

Re: Sleeping too much
You"ve had a busy day @Former-Member
Good on you for having a sleep this afternoon. I love the teddy on your profile pic. My daughter gave me a teddy for my birthday this year, she sits on my bed. I haven't had a teddy since I was little. It's been a nice sunny day here today, 5C last night. Cold for here. I haven't been out alot lately, but went out for lunch, shopping and a walk at the beach. I have to force myself out lately. It does help to get out (sometimes it doesn"t). It would be lovely to have a cuppa together, in person.
Mowing sounds hard work.
Hi @Decadian
Awful about the migraine, I hope it has gone. I have good news. I finally got the results of my mammogram and the lump is only a cyst. So that was a "tick" off the long list of, things to do. I'm on antibiotics again, for a bug, but that's a good thing. Hopefully I'll feel better soon. I've already been on antibiotics for it, need more, oh well.
Have you been doing wedding things today @Faith-and-Hope
Are you feeling better? You must have been worn out with the party, family things etc.
Hi @BlueBay
I haven't chatted to you for ages. I usually try and stay on one post, usually the night shift one. It can be confusing and hard to keep up otherwise. Plus I don't get notifications, so I might miss peoples messages. Have you been ok lately?
