Sleeping too much

I don't see it's good luck @utopia for most of it I see it as your hard work. I think the only luck is connecting early with the right therapist. I never begrudge someone their successes because it's always been born from struggle. I think I'm a bit like you with many things. Often I love celebrating any successes on here, sometimes I've worried that I live vicariously though others not just on the forum but I guess IRL and social media but I think it's more my spirit to be happy for others than jealous.

Cool analogy @Faith-and-Hope. 👏😄. I think I'm starting to see I'm most in danger when I bolt and put too many expectations on myself. Possibly should have had the awareness that my pressure cooker weekend which although went well built up my full repertoire of emotions and no time to deal with them or take a step back to diffuse any so add a few more things and hey presto an implosion. I think I'm getting better at the slow build up maybe now I just need to plan better my days like today which I put so many expectations on and then was paralysed by it all. I guess I'm working it out and like many of us hoping someone else learns whilst we process this too. 💜😊 are you feeling more relaxed now?

Oh boy@Teej
Yes, I do just as you describe.
I'm not sure how to stop other than partner warns me when I'm escalating it. 😞
Sometimes I think it's like being on an ever ready battery that you don't want to stop.
But if we don't recharge we slowly but surely loose power or loose self essentially.
Today I was frustrated, I couldn't even think of what it is I like or want to do anymore. Sigh.
So written rest of day off!! Lol

Hi @BlueBay, I was a thinking of you with Fathers Day wondering how you managed the day? Letting go of family is hard, but comes a time where we realise we've done all we can & we have to let go. This was hard with my sister especially, and I don't want to poison my heart with bitterness so I pray FOR her, give her to God but keep my heart open, within reason. You've come a long way this last few weeks, proud of you. Hugzz

Yep that was me today @Former-Member. Ended up having a tantrum because I couldn't work anything out or make sense of it just kept pushing self destruct buttons at some points consciously. Finally worked out with my counsellor I was in angry child mode and need to take time out. Been ok ever since I gave up today as a bad joke. I hope you will be ok now too. 💜😊

Hi @Former-Member how are you going? I hope the antibiotics work. I'm glad you got to your appointments. Crossing my fingers physically and mentally you are back climbing your mountain. Please learn from my experience that it's better if its a leisurely walk slowly up the mountain than rock climbing. Hugs 💜😊

@Former-Member. I was worried about that when I had my most recent breakthrough in therapy. I fekt euphoric, and I thought - this can't last. And then the next week - this can't last etc. I thought it might have been a huge high (not that I get them normally) before a massive crash. But it hasn't happened that way this time.
Sometimes in therapy I go - ok I get what you're saying - but the next day I crash. I think when bringing up emotions - learning to feel again - that it can be overwhelming sometimes.
I'm no longer on a high. I just feel content. But check with me after Thursdays appointment. Lol

@Former-Member. I'm the opposite of you in regard to expectations at the moment. You had too many plans on your list today. I have no list and plan to little. I have to get that balance right.

Lol. @Former-Member...today as a bad joke!!!
Oh I love that.
That's gold!
Yes a bad joke for sure.😂
