Re: Sleeping too much
Just moved the cupboards, ouch! spasm! Back on the couch. At least I made my bed - fed dog, wild birds & me. Mozzies are bad. Made up a new batch of Cinnamon Honey which I had on toast for brunch.
Did I tell you they put me on a new tablet to strengthen pelvic floor muscle tissue? Well, it works but the not so good side affect for someone with depression is drowsiness. Yep, as if I need any help in that department. Wondering if its contributing to the tears & stopped thd activity boost i had? Only taking 1/2 recomnended dose (which peeves them off) bit gosh, so many pills! They also want to up the heart meds. I'm not doing that just yet, maybe when I'm 60 lol. They're just guessing most the time.
Well back has settled, betta get to it, really want to do the hot springs private waterfall thing before dark. lol my hair is sticky. Got a big day out of town tomorrow. 🙂
@Decadian, I tried those phone settings, there's no blocking feature to be found. It is a cheap HUAWEI smartphone so glad I can at least log in here online, tx & make calls. Hope to be able to afford an iPhone & tablet some day.
@Decadian, did you do ya chicken sandwich? I think getting out the door is harder for me than restocking the linen & tool cupboard. Wanted to go for a walk this am buy get stuck at the door. Have you seen that new movie "The Intern" with Robert Denero? He's an ageing person who gets a job but before that realised the coping with living alone old, he knew he had to "get out the house, go somewhere, ANYWHERE, every day" His preference was a coffee & read the paper & chat when he can. I think I need to start doing this, even the local library, they stock newspapers & I could sneak in a drink. Couldn't afford coffee out every day, ha.
Betta stop procrastinating.
Hi @Faith-and-Hope, & everyone, really appreciated the conversation distraction support last night. SI has gone (phew!)
How are you today @TAB ?

Re: Sleeping too much
I'lle need to re read the message @Faith-and-Hope on why she is only doing half the medication for pelvic stuff.
Depression is so hard isn't it?
@Former-Member...am thinking about you. Hello to you and a snore to you from my husband.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
It's probably not the best idea you've had about not upping the heart meds. Your heart functioning well is umh shall we say important. I ran out of my blood pressure tabs at one point and it was 7 days til payday. Let's just say that my blood pressure sky rocketed so high that I had to lie on the surgery floor, have an intravenous injection and not move until it had dropped considerably. It was a bit traumatic to say the least. 🎶💕🎶

Re: Sleeping too much
Good thinking about getting out @Former-Member I have done the library thing .. its good .. bright cheery .. can be quiet and do won thing .. and just sit & read ... but still have people around ... and not feel angry with them ... cos they are all just muddling along in the same puddle as @Decadian and I ... also visited the garden plant shops ... sometimes without my wallet ... so not tempted ... i prefer coffee places that supply newspaper .. too cheap to buy that ... keep paper on trees etc ... so only been to maccas for that a few times ..
OOOps just remembered to take my meds
bye all

Re: Sleeping too much
V I C T O R Y !
My own private waterfall is finally functional. Body & hair are smelling pretty again, squeeky clean, its wonderful. Hip hip harray!!
If I wasn't so exhausted I'd feel great. Upset the back again, lower back. Just took strong pain tabs & gone to bed with heat pack.
So nice to see that room coming together. I've done the laundry, linen cupboard & toot areas, now to finish the Bathroom. The last little bit of the floor is ready for lino, tiles on the bath base. Paint the walls. Then the window frame needs replacing too. Not sure how I'm doing it, just am, its almost miraculous. Such a big job in a room you use every day, but its coming together, finally.
Thanks for your posts @Faith-and-Hope, @Appleblossom, @Kurra, @PeppiPatty, @Former-Member, @Decadian, do encouraging. How ya doing @TAB, @Former-Member, @utopia, @Shaz51, @Former-Member, @mods, did i forget anyone? Its so nice to know someone's thinking of me, and care. Thank you.
Seeing psychologist tomorrow, will try talk about family boundaries & loneliness.
Has anyone done anything exciting today?

Re: Sleeping too much
Wow! That's great about all the work you've done. 😀 You must be feeling great for achieving so much (apart from sore back etc)
Good on you @Former-Member Well done. 💜
Yes, tears are healing. Glad you're feeling a bit better.
I've been home all day. Recovering from psycholgist visit yesterday. Been so sad all day. Saw my mother, she's in her late 80's. She's not doing to well. I feel so guilty because I can't visit or help her out, due to PTSD. I get triggered, because of family stuff. She's so lonely and I feel so bad. I want to get well so I can be there for her, but just can't at the moment. Wish I could cry.
Sorry for that. But need someone to talk to. I don't have anyone to phone. Good to chat on here. Going to force myself out tomorrow to the movies. 😊
We were talking about despair yesterday. I've been feeling it today. Tomorrow WILL be better. 😊
