Re: Sleeping too much
Aw @Former-Member
We do love you - you are well thought of here
It sounds as if your session was a non-event - how weird - having the therapist prattle on sounds strange and mindless -
I remember telling my psychologist from the 90s to stop telling me how great his new computer was and to get on with something challenging - that was a scary moment but I didn't want to pay for computer-lessons even then - so prattling on sounds weak and empty - like - remember the Sleep Police? I would love to sleep normally without having to get up and get a tablet for my back spasms around 2.00.am - and wake up ealier - I get it
Oh golly - training your dog who has been sleeping in your bed to sleep in his own will be hard - my cat has been sleeping in my bed since she was a kitten and now she is nearly 13 - kittens are often born in Spring - she will be 13 this spring - I can smell cat on my stuff too - but I rather like to have her snuggling - even if she gets under the doona and I roll over during the night and get marks from those sharp claws - well yeah - I would stick my claws into someone too
I hope those sinuses clear up with the antibiotics - this is the time of year - the windy days can bring in the pollen - and move the dustmites around
All the best
Decadian

Re: Sleeping too much
Such a devastating journey to watch.
Yes, I can see how upsetting it is to you all.
It's a tough disorder, I think people I've known with anorexia have never recovered the control aspect.
More well physically but the whole issue takes precedence in everything they do.
I think it's good to have come to a place whereby a certain acceptance is reached in order to cope as such with your circumstances.
I think in order to love truly there is an element of letting go.
Not an easy thing to do by a long shot. 😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Morning All, @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope etc medical is now tomorrow, just off to library to sort paperwork again re scans. Coming off painkillers and well, everything, cos drug test ..not letting them know anything they don't need to re what I take to get my old crock of a body going lol. Will tell them what have to, which may be a lesser version of the truth, else alarm bells, 'gee that's strong isn't it, why do you take that etc lala has been queried in past and did miss out on job a year or so ago for being honest lol

Re: Sleeping too much
Sounds like good news, so more time to prep.
Maybe try some natural pain relief in meantime?
I know some people say not helpful.
My partner rolls his eye's at my hippy suggestions.
So I tell him well I got through 3 natural births drug free!
Granted he helps me see reason to do otherwise when necessary!
Whoops I don't mean to talk of self. Self is actually tired in body.
I hope you get it all done and have a good day.😊🌅🙌

Re: Sleeping too much
yes @Former-Member, re more time, and I do get a bit 'slap dash' with pain meds, take at first sign, things go away, distractions and iboprufen help, would live in bath if had one lol, nah not too bad today and moving helps. Will go for a walk later. Wow, you must be into pain re natural births or did you take Ayahuascu or something lol

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member just rang medical centre, they said it's just basic medical, so no fitness stuff, no hearing test no lung function ..phew..
am loading up on green tea and vitamins now lol, it'll be fine tho
if there is a 'positive' I can just do it again, or they can do lab test. I worry too much, but that's based on past experience

Re: Sleeping too much
What will be, will be.
I'm not sure what herb you mentioned, but ashgawanda I use.
You probably being funny but I'm too slow to get it!
Natural birth is what I was determined to do.
I did.
The body is an amazing vehicle, it's natural ability.
I had one homebirth in the bath, by far the best for pain relief.
I hemmorhaged every time.
My first was massive blood loss.
But all same I made the tunnel through each time.
It's something I couldn't explain, but took me far.
I'll never forget. 🌚

Re: Sleeping too much
well you google it then @Former-Member was sorta trying to be funny. re 'hippy' stuff Peruvian shamans take it someone told me about it that and boiling rivers etc. The one you mentioned sounds interesting.
