Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Decadian, you're a battler! Since we're still here - I'm guessing we're meant to be. Isn't it sad we lost a child and how that becomes a pivotal moment on our timeline that defines the before & after. When things so big go bad blackdog thinking tries to convince me 'the universe rejects you' and people walking out of my life, neglecting, witholding or treating me bad, no matter how hard I try, and so many of them, it all seams to seal the deal 'unacceptable plz leave' Do you ever have these thoughts? Its taken me years to get in touch with a these thoughts & feelings - dealing with or correcting them is exhausting - as you say. Have to remind myself of the opposite argument - that I AM still here (for now), most of my parts, though not petfect - still function. I have food & shelter and ...
What you doing today?
I'm only managing bits of this washroom at a time, big project. My goal today is to get the linen cupboard back in place so I can get things out the bath to take a shower.

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member

Somehow I missed that you have lost a child too - I don't read everything - I would not have the time - a couple of days away from the site can mean we miss something really important at times

I don't think it at all strange that the death of our children is the pivot-point of our lives - it is the moment when our innocence is tore from us - how terrible that is? The first year was a nightmare - how do we survive this? We do though - most of us.

My story has these moments of terrible rejection too - I do not understand TS - I know there are people who do evil things - but the things she does are so much worse - she may seek to drive me away or have other people drive me away - and somehow feels she is the Justification Police - but I just wonder if she has any concept of the colleratal damage her lies cause

However - I am not the person TS has portrayed - I am better than her - I keep these things and much more to myself - but it is one reason I am so isolated

Today I have started a course of tablets for my inflamed shoulder - and resting it accordingly - I am clearing away my stuff while I used the computer between chores etc -

That job you are doing on your property is a huge task - I wish you the best with that - I am in Government Housing and they come and do all of that - which is good - I care for this property and they take care of me - it works out well

Re: Sleeping too much

@Former-Member. Thanks for the spider deterant recipe. I'll spray it all over my outdoor table and chairs. I'm ok if I know what type of spider they are. This one I didn't know it's name and it jumped. Did you end up having spider nightmares? I hope not. I was once I killed it. But prefer not to do that

Re: Sleeping too much

@Decadian. Tomorrow I'll look up pictures of spiders in my state and see if I can identify it. I have orb spiders near my front door. I love their webs. Stunning.
For my therapy since injury at work - over two years ago - I've had 3 psychogists. The first one helped get my gp to see how serious it was & to help get my work cover claim. When he left - he recommended I see a psychologist specialising in treating ptsd. She was great and it worked out well for me. But she wasn't great with helping with my depression and trying to move on from my anger. A friend recommended a local psychologist. That's who I see now & he has been great in getting me to hospital and then working on and reinforcing my therapy. All 3 have played a different part - in fixing all of me. They each have their own expertise.
Huntsmen spiders. I only remove them from the house if they come into my room. It's a no go zone

Re: Sleeping too much

No @utopia, no nightmares. Let me know if it works, haven't tried myself yet. Up under plastic furniture would be good, the red backs like that spot here. When ya gonna quit smoking?

MY RENO UPDATE: Just measured, cut and attached 7m skirting board. Having a break to rest the back. Working around the toot was a real pain, and somehow bent a drill, hope I didn't break the drill driver 😞 Pul linen cupboard back - pray for my back, ouch. Determined to finish it. Have at least one nice room. This was the worst room, major fix me ups all over. Will paint last. A trady would have it all done in a day but guess I'm saving that $50hr (50x8=400) & getting some personal benefits.
