Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member. It seems like you've got your roller coaster going on a bit today too. Do you find its always hard to back it up after a day of achievements? I think that's a pattern with me right now. I need to somehow plan a self are day with small acheivements the next day. Physically it's my hips that are saying 'nice walk but please don't do it again' after my big walk yesterday. Make sure today is much more gentle and look at your achievements maybe over a week or fortnight rather than a day. Well that's my plan anyway - I'll let you know how it goes. I hope your day is going ok now. Take care💜😊
And @Faith-and-Hope I miss the kookaburras from the old house. There is something kind of cool having them around. I can hear crows mostly here. Hopefully when I eventually get my native garden established I'll hear more birds. 💜😊

Yay!, page 300, does that mean something? I know - someone cares! 🙂
Hi @Former-Member, thanks, I do have to live alternate days, recover in between. Teary today too but don't know why. You know how it is, its nice that you do. Are you having a calm day?

Re: Sleeping too much
Yeah my day is kind of calm @Former-Member. But I'm back in bed just feeling exhausted which means I overthink things a bit. I'm trying to find the motivation to get up and do some weeding but at the moment it's a bit like finding that elusive magic wand - it's not going to happen😳😏 but thanks because you just grounded me enough to realise I've not had my medication today or anything to drink. Maybe that will help. I do get your roller coaster emotions, I wish it would even out a bit for you too. I guess any day not feeling suicidal is an ok day really. Hoping you'll relax and enjoy the rest of the day and yes wahoo on page 300🎊🎉💐💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Have you got some music to play @Former-Member ? I find the best way to get unwanted thoughts out of my head is to fill it with something else .... and I connnect with music and lyrics almost involuntarily .....
I'm the lady in the supermarket bopping in time to thw elevator mysic while I'm looking through the shelves .... not even conscious of it .... or swaying in the presence of a crying baby as if it was on my shoulder ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. I'm kind of ok today with thoughts in a strange kind of way. Maybe I'm too tired. I guess I just meant after having a couple of really bad days this week with bad thoughts and wanting to act on them. Today I want to achieve I'm just too tired. Just had my first cup of coffee for the day and oops still no medication, I'm meant to have taken both doses by now- my bad. I am having a fairly reflelective day in an ok way I think although I know my brains not in gear yet too. Thanks for your support. Crossing fingers you are travelling ok too💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Faith-and-Hope, you have so much love on your heart & wish to ease suffering, appreciate you always lending a hand. Even just acknowledging is enough. Glad the Koobuburra sang / laughed for you this morning. Don't hear them here anymore but did last I stayed with my friend in Brisbane. They are magnificent. Do you know the sound of the CURLEW bird? When i lived on a property in Central Queensland the haunting call (cry) of the curlew in the night was unnerving. Prefer kookaburracany day.
@Former-Member, it does sound like a hard day for you. You made me realise I haven

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member, it does sound like a hard day for you. You made me realise I haven't had my pills either 😕 oops. Filled scripts yesterday but haven't reloaded my weekly dispencer. Thought I felt different, oh dear, we're a great pair, lol.
Fluids are most important Teej, dehydration actually presents with depressive symptoms - on top of no meds, laying around, bring alone, and in my case today, teary,. well, its just not helping hey, to not do the little things (that seem huge but do help or sustain basic function), nobody else can do those things for us - how lost we would be if they could. I'm with you my friend - hang in there.
I 'm sadly still in PJs but have done the dishes, actually had egg on toast, found / measured up the next Reno slab of wood to plug the hole in the very high ceiling (have to psych up for that task) and picked a couple of yummy mulberries off the young bush I've been nurturing down the back (enjoyed that)
Can't go there now but I'd like to tell you about a friend of mine who did eventually leave us, alby choice, and how it was for me and how I don't want to lose another friend that way, not even a forum friends. Its too sad. There you go, I said it - plz don't go there Teej, the impact is far greater that we perceice in the throws of sadness. keep fighting, taking back ground, being even the tiniest bit resiliant each day. We can do this!
Betta go take my pills (thanks for the reminder) & shut out the mozzies.
Will check in again soon.
