Re: Sleeping too much
Omg @Former-Member.
That's horrible. Well I grew up in religion but too be honest the ones that can't see past their own 'b.s' I side step or else I'd be taking on by the horns & shaking sense into them.
Recently at a family gathering I met my partners in laws, wow..very judgemental. But I looked upon in pity. They knew nothing of me, & lived in their own bubble. Too me I'm happy if something works for you, finds place, & helps you to be a better human being than fantastic. But those that judge, & put down in the most subtle ways no...I walk away with my head high.
I read your post & felt very annoyed at these people. You are not being irrational.
People are cruel at times.
If anything it's exactly as you have analyzed...at least now you know where you stand.
Walk tall, your a kind, caring soul that deserves respect.
They might come round anyway. Sounds like they don't know how to deal a situation as yours. How could they? That never lived your life. You know your truth. And we all support you. 💕☺

Re: Sleeping too much
Aww shucks, making me cry guys. I've tx asked my psychologist to reschedule, probably annoyed with me too. Often wonder why I seem to care mor than anyone in my family. I'm so tired, haha, nothing a cuppa won't fix. There's steady rain on my tin roof, gutters overflowing. A hanks for talking. What's happening in your worlds?

Re: Sleeping too much
Enjoy @Former-Member ❣ They get big and real mouthy too soon .... lol ...
@Former-Member .... I've done a quick copy and paste from the carer coffee thread dos I've gotta run shortly ..... knew you'd find it later anyway .... 😊🌷
I had a late night, which I am probably going to pay for today .... but I am hand-stitching a lacy border onto a tablecloth for my daughter's Kitchen Tea (D1) and D3 was up late doing assignments anyway .... got a lot to fit in this week, but now I think I need to fit a nap in somewhere this afternoon ....
My hubby has been letting this house go a bit .... don't know if you're following along with our story .... and now that the Kitchen Tea is happening here (kids don't have their own place yet) we've got a big scrub-up happening these last two weeks ....
Its a silver lining ..... I was beginning to despair over the state of the house, and as stressful as it might be with all this last-minute chaos, doors are opening and it's all fitting together ....
And D3 is fitting together .... looks like she's gonna make her graduation ....
And the wedding is fitting together .... although those two are still battling issues in the background .... think he's not had much practice at processing his emotional world and just gets very reactive and controlling instead .... and weddings really amp up the emotional pressure on everyone. Hope they're gonna be okay. They're having good days and bad days, and it's a bit hard to work out how normal that is ..... considering the family pressures involved, probably they're doing fabulously well.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member 💗
Hard for you having a friend who doesn't understand, especially when you need support. Friends like her seem to make us feel worse.
Do you have a community centre or similar in your town? Sometimes they have volunteers that are there to help and support. Perhaps that would be worth looking in to.
Raining alit here too. Lazy morning. In regards to EMDR, I do believe it will be good for me. I'd rather deal with all the trauma, because the end result will mean I'll be able to cope better in life. I can't take ADs, tried heaps, they make me feel worse, so I really need to find other ways to get on top. Feel a bit better today. Just sad about mum, but I need to get well before I try and help her.
Are you feeling ok after your big day yesterday? ☕🍩🍰🌹🌸🌻🌷
Hi @utopia @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Former-Member @Decadian and anyone else. 😀💜
Coffee time. I need another one. ☕🍰🍩
@Faith-and-Hope . Yes, it's normal to have an emotional day after EMDR. I made sure I stayed home and tried to rest. usual chores etc 3 loads of washing 😯😮 basket still full. Lol I'm too fussy. 😂 Hiw did the baking go? You're a good mummy. I'd probably buy cakes etc. 😂 home baking much nicer thoughm 😊💜
@utopia I should have chatted yesterday. Seeing as you've had EMDR it probably would have helped if I chatted a bit. Not to worry I got through it. I guess I'm so used to going through things on my own. Good to chat though it helps. 😊 Any plans today?
I've been taking anti anxiety meds again temporarily. I have to confront something today and something is coming up soon that I don't want to go to, but have to. 😯😮
So slow to type on phone. Laptop is charging.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member, hang in there, eat lots of vegies & fish. Have you tried St Johns wart? Sounds more like your circumstances, like me, some things we cannot control. Still haven't worked out how to "DANCE IN THE RAIN" Just seems so fake. But I am learning to see the beauty in nature, song of the birds, fragrances bin flowers, breath of fresh air entering deep inro my lungs... and am thankful
Today my back has settled a bit, still need pain relief, and dull headache, so tired and still teary when I think, but getting there. Thanks.
Glad I have so many projects to do here to distract & sense achievement, even if they hurt & take forever.
Did I tell you the bits I snuck home from the tip last trip?
(1) A really cute padded wooded rocking Horse needing minor repair & cleanup. Spent an hour on it yesterday, reattaching the back legs to rocking mechanism with but & built I dug up (exciting when it fits). Stitched back on the felt padded gear. Just gotta replace a handle bar that fits the screw. If I don't sell it at my G.Sale, Charity will live it for a cute little 2yo. Enjoy fixing things (hand to task problem solving), or the end product at least. Couldn't afford stuff like thus for my kids, makes me cross seeing the waste at the tip. Doing my bit. Actually, its funny, the dog gets jealous of the brown fury looking rocking horse when I work on it. And he gives it a wide berth walking past it. Funny.
The other find last week was x4 matching solid plastic waiting room chairs with armrests. I've scrubbed them down, drilled a hole in the seat to drain rain puddles on seats. They are now my new outdoor chairs, stronger than anything I have already, great find I saved from landfill.
Actually, Thinking, when I declutter, that this could be a slightly profitable venture. Finding & doing up things. Its only been this last year I've got back into projects again, after a 7-10yr fight to survive. E-Bay or Gumtree could work too. I'm creating a system here.
My girls room is morphing into a project room - she loved craft.

Re: Sleeping too much
@Faith-and-Hope. I'd love a hot chocolate please.
Struggled falling asleep last night - so this will be my morning cuppa.
@Former-Member - I understand about the wet roads and not like driving further distances. I was planning on heading to our regional town today to do some shopping (boy has outgrown another pair of shoes). But with all the rain we've been having - our creeks are flooding again and alot of water over the road. And some drivers still want you to do 100km on roads that are never in great condition.
I hope you can reschedule your appointment.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member. Hos are you feeling today after yesterday?
Sometimes I think you are better off taking a temporary tablet and then being able to deal with something hard. I hope whatever your appointment is today - that it goes well.
