Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member, thank for the empathy, it is sad, how my mar is - she's troubled, and its hard 'protecting' myself from her. Our mums know our buttons & she's in our head, so tripping us up is easy, have to work at being aware. I pray & work at not being like her with my adult children.

Don't know how to have a relationship with mar on 'my' terms (interesting concept), she would just accuse me of plotting something. Its her way or the highway in all things. I still find it hard to even think in her presence let alone know what I want. Getting too tired to bother seems the only way to keep the peace. I often joke she feeds off everyone's emotional energy (don't matter if its positive or negative - just intense seems to be what she likes, neg mostly). You're right, its not a two way thing for me, just crumbs off the table.

My day has picked up but mostly stayedvin ved reading, listening to the rain. I did manage to do the dishes, cook fish patties, phone banking & clear a bit more space for the next stage floor coverings.

Sorry about your rough days, hang in there.
Concentrating on the present moment is all that's required of you @Former-Member, especially in difficult times. I have that same thing when I think about the future, but tomorrow I figure will be like today.

Its good that you have this goal & conscious effort to manage to " live for now and be ok with me in the present" I needed that reminder today - thank you. Just breathing is enough sometimes (makes me want to cry with relief).

Sorry your emotions are hard to control, that's tough, I know, especially when living with others.

Please find a way to not forget your pills, the medication chemical levels dropping in your blood rapidly & up & down will surely affect your mood. You know this.

Why do we self sabotage? Beat up on ourself? Punishment? For what? Something we can't forgive ourself for? even when God can? And to what end? To make our walk even harder? Why? Louise Hay goes so far as to say "learning to love ourself & then others is the primary purpose for our existence". And I think you're better at it than you were a month back teej, I know I am . A baby step a day is all it takes. Big hug xox

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member.

I agree that I think we've both grown a bit. It seems we both still go backwards but find a way out a bit quicker or something like that. I'm not out yet but having glimpses. The self sabotage thing is so hard. I guess it's a strange form of self harm still. I thought I was getting past it but apparently not yet. The hard thing is you don't wake up and think 'today I'm going to self sabotage', it just seems to happen.

Im glad your day got better. I think you are stronger than me. I would have struggled all week after that, I'm proud of you that you can see it for what it is and put it behind you even though it still hurts. Keep on keeping on @Former-Member. You're doing great!💜😊💐
