Re: Sleeping too much
Hey @Former-Member, that's a good idea, I might go down the library, where I can post photos from tge desktop, and bore you all with photos of my renovations. lol, actually, today I took a photo to post one day, of a cooking thing gone wrong - I had a craving for porridge so rushed it in the microwave, it overflowed, more on the microwave plate than what was left in the bowl - cracked me up (yes, i actually laughed at myself), gave it to the dog & had toast, lol

Re: Sleeping too much
Not rambling at all @Former-Member. Maybe tonight has opened the floodgates it needed to. I was feeling guilty because it seemed all about me and sometimes I find that tough but I guess I invite it because I'm so open too.
anyway I'm so sorry for all your losses. I can only imagine how much of a wake up call and how scary it would have been to find out your son was on suicide watch. I know you've suffered a loss that no mother should ever have to experience. It is comforting for me to know you and @Appleblossom have found a strength to get passed this. You have incredible strength to get through this.
I guess I thought I had got passed it too. I have buried my head in the sand I think about lots of things. Last night I had a reality check from my son's girlfriend as we talked for the first time about our mental health issues. When I finally cracked the first time and I had been suicidal for 6 months prior I had not thought through anything and it was my family who found me. We have never talked about it. Last night were the first words spoken about it and that was with his girlfriend. Maybe this my wake up call.
i really hope you get to have a conversation one day with your son about this so he knows how hard you fought. I know that's a way off but one day he'll know. Hugs @Former-Member💜😊

Hi @Former-Member
Any day you don't feel suicidal is a good day but I get it that your days are often and usually a battle to get through - I understand this - been through alll the tough stuff but SI is something I have not felt for 30 years - and even then - not really serious
But I guess you are into "touching wood" when you say anything like that - things can change so fast
Thinking of you

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh @Appleblossom, the Tiahleigh murder has affected me too, that poor girl must have suffered so much, its shocked and angered us all, I want to bring back the death penalty, but you, wiith your foster care background, and abuse there, its jso close to the bone for you, just awful. Are you going to be OK? Is there somewhere you can go to debrief this stuff? I took a break from reading OE listening to ALL news broadcasts today. Can you turn it off? Let me give you a hug, its not fair!!! & not your fault!!! Let's celebrate that they got them, the whole lot of them, and people are awake to it. I'm gonna make a cuppa, wish I could give you a big hot chocolate. Group Hug coming your way. :).

Re: Sleeping too much
And ya right @Appleblossom, I have to not expect, I know it, its just so hard because it feels like he's all I got left, but reality is I don't really have him. This crazy ext locus of control is hard to shift / change. But I'm learning, slowly slowly, to lean only on God. The perfect triangle, me myself & God. Then when mature in that, and its coming, it won't hurt so much what others do or don't do to save me. And be like you 'surprised' - I think he'd like that. You're so level headed, good bran I suspect. Thanks 🙂
My battery needs charging, the mobile that is. So will drop out for a while. I've really enjoyed this discussion tonight. Thanks everyone.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Kurra
After feeling rotten for hours on end I would have the feeling I had recovered only to find I had not - but tonight my head feels clear and (touch wood) I feel confident to actually write it now
I have really let things run to seed around here - lots of dust - this happens when it gets windy - I wipe the shelves with a damp cloth -
So really - I think I am past it - but do antibiotics work that fast or was I about to recover anyway?
Or perhaps it was the ointment I have for the wound in my nose - to which I cannot assign a nasty enough name - icky and yukky do not go far enough
But I think I have got through it - (touch wood)
I am not superstitious - I would follow a black cat under a ladder on Friday 13th - but when it comes to touching wood - I have to - and so do other people in my family - funny that
It's good to be back
Decadian
