Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member, thanks for tagging, they come to email now since I realise I could change settings not to get e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.

You have your hands full as a mum, look after You too so your the best mum you can be.

My day, well, bit slow but wound myself up & did a backlog of dishes, got the sink spotless (a first since my son's grad last month - haven't coped well since, for some reason, maybe having seen my x - he messes with my head without saying a word), but a clear sink is a sure sign I'm managing better.

Also got the Besser Bricks out of the car and made the back steps mor steady with them, more solid than what was there, was dangerous before really. Not good for the back but needed doing & I can't afford tradies. Trolley helped. Need to slowly increase the width - its 1m wide now & 4 steps high - solid b bricks. Very sturdy. Plan to run them another metre and use them for pots etc. Besser bricks are magic bit their too heavy so six at a time with capstones are all I can manage with my car & body. But quitely pleased with progress today, its functional again.

Also, at bunnings yesterday I picked up son perspex / thick plastic to replace the glass on the front door I measured it today and I have enough it did cost $45 but that's cheaper than replacing the whole front door I've just bit of wood over the broken bit (where the police broke into the house in that suicidal breakdown 2011), very embarrassing so it will be good to have that fixed just got to work out how to cut Perspex to size..

My brain gets dizzy with so many projects need doing herr, ttrying to work out what to do next, realise make ng lists and planning it doesn't equate to getting it done lol. Once I know where to find things (in 'Mt Hord' here), its green lights with breaks when the back spasms. Good to have things to do, nust gotta move. GOTTA GET OUT OF MY HEAD TO GET ANYTHING DONE, MOVE THE LIMBS!!!

.Oh, I love Ps23 Bridget, thank you (the HS brings it to mind). I believe being suicidal & loss / grief are what king david means when he wrote the next verse "ya though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death - I will fear no evil... you comfort me" Oh how this Psalm helped me in the throws of flashbacks and nightmare sweats, shaking to the core, alone. Not to say there weren't times I also felt, like Job, that God had abandoned us. Those biblical stories spoke truth most therapists dare not visit. I wouldn't be alive today without those teaching inside of me.

Wow, with Compassion Therapy, i'm realising this is the love of the Father (through Jesus) which i failed to receive well before, and that is - to be at peace with myself, as well as with God, and by forgiving everybody else with the same compassion. This is bringing me peace. Think I'll call it 'THE TRIANGLE OF TRUE PEACE" Me*God*Others. Do you know how strong a triangle? Seems to be working, when I live it.

Thanks again. Bridget, and everyone here. We're all just walking each other home 🙂

Hope we have a good night 🙂

looks like my words have come back, sorry if I've rambled too much, lol

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member, @Former-Member

what a great day of achievements @Former-Member. That's awesome and inspired me. I have my first clear day tomorrow to try and hold it together and achieve some things too. I want to try and plant some lawn seed and cross fingers it grows into lawn 😊

@Former-Member I was really sorry to read about kira and her tumours. I hope she is doing better, poor baby. Give her an extra cuddle from me. How are you going?

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member

I'm doing good atm

Thanks for thinking of Kira, of course I will give her some extra cuddles from you. She did well at the vets today, I walked her this morning before her vets appointment. I'm hoping its the last of them for her.

How did you go today, I hope you are feeling better and gaining some more traction.

In response to: Re: Sleeping too much

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks I am gaining a bit more traction @Former-Member. I guess a few things starting to fall into place and sink in re therapy. My son was assessed at headspace today and that went well. He is going to receive some help from them and I guess I had some confirmation about what I suspected in that he is likely experiencing a bit of depression, so it feels better that he will get some assistance from someone too. Apart from that I've been really busy with family commitments and haven't had too much time to think which has been good and bad. Feeling quite scattered as far as I'm behind in sooooo many things. Anyway enough about me, I'm glad things are going well atm, have you got much on? How's the swimming, walking, gym going?

Re: Sleeping too much

Hey @Former-Member ive been thinking about your situation with your son too. I realised that your ex has probably not helped his relationship with you. Next time you are having a hard time with this try to remember that much of your relationship was tainted by your ex. Please let me know if I'm off the mark with this. It just dawned on me recently and I wanted to tell you before I forgot. You guys are still often in my mind but some days it's hard to get it out of my head and down here. I hope you are ok and that you are not too sore tomorrow, sending hugs💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi again @Former-Member

Glad to hear you are making great progress in therapy, that does not really surprise me, I think you are doing much better then you give yourself credit for. You seem to have really good insight and quite intuitive too. I hope you focus on the postive qualities you have too because there are many :).I think its great that you son is geting some support and assistance too, I hope it goes well for him. In terms of the things you need to do, just tackle one problem at a time so you don't get overwhelmed.

I've just been for a long walk today, I took Kira back to the vet, I went out to lunch, gym session and I had afternoon tea with my mum. So I had a fairly busy day and when I got home I just cooked up some hamburgers for Kira. I don't have much planned for the rest of the week except I have a specialist appointment on Thursday. In between I generally go to the gym daily and walk too. I am hoping to get to the beach and just to have a chiill out day and just sit and relax for the day and get plenty of vitamin D.I have to work on my suntan for summer. Catch ya later xxx
