Sleeping too much

I work in retail, been doing same job since 2012.

Sometimes I get frustrated as it's hard sometimes - you know what customers can be like - so annoying.

I got stressed due to my agoraphobia - I can't do simple things like go for a walk by myself.

Hi @jamesle2015

It sounds frustrating. Glad you are checking in here sometimes though. There are others who struggle with the idea of getting out and about for a variety of reasons. Some of them make a plan to do something small once a week, and if they don't manage it so well, just try again the next week. It's taking it in small steps.

Do you have some great customers too ?

I have been sleeping a lot more since med increase. Getting up at 12 is almost normal ... today it was just before 3.

Last night I went to talk about Traumatic Grief.... he talked about an energy deficit dealing with grief from suicide ... ... I think I have a few reasons behind my deficits ... oh dear ...

@Appleblossom - eek - a talk about traumatic death - sounds ghastly - I wish I had been there

The suicide of a young person has a tripple whammy - they probably told you that

D'uh - all these years later - since I read about the Tripple Whammy I think it's a 4 sided whammy - -

There's the death of a young person

The violent death

Sudden death

And the stigma of suicide

Aw @Appleblossom - energy deficit - massive deficit - you would need a nuclear reactor to reboot after that class - sheesh

Okay - I have said enough right now - but no wonder you are reliving things - is the Royal Commission still happening?

Hi guys, Just wanted a random chat, this is as good as anywhere.

Saw my Psychologist today, 2nd visit this year but went to her 4yrs back when she was a student. Mature sensible lady. Interesting info today, She tells me she doesn't assess me to have BPD, but rather 'Complex Trauma' from unfavourable childhood experiences, & PTSD from watching my girl die of cause (both of which present as depression & anxiety). She says BPD is an unhelpful diagnoses for most. Kind of makes sense. She's going with ACT therapy with a focus on Self Compassion. Got a little frustrated though when 1/2 the session was consumed doing meditation ex. I need to talk!! Probably necessary at least once but it is cheaper to put my CD on at home. Can only afford once a month so wanna make the most of it. Always hard to know how much of myself to put forward. Found out today she does x1 day a wk in the Brisbane ACT Centre. Didn't even know there was an ACT Centre (mindfulness & present moment meditation).

Nearly over the day surgery hysteroscopy now, few cramps & d/c but no complications. The biopsy will probably come back clear & I'll feel like an idiot stressing so much about it all (stupid anxiety).

Had a coffee out with a friend & a little spend at Vinnies before having to come home, take a paracetamol & rest a sore back. Fighting a cold too i think. Watching a movie warm under the doona with my doggie.

Thanks for reading. Just getting it out 💜

That sounds pretty good @Former-Member. I'm glad I got to read how you are going. Fingers still crossed for the biopsy. Must be a bit of a relief to cross BPD of your diagnosis. Also good to hear about reconnecting with the psychologist. Enjoy your night😊💜
