Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member Thanks for huggz .. This forum is the best debrief for me. I wont need to mention it to my son ... he doesnt need to know .. seeing psych next week ... they have been on hols ... it was good to let it out here ...
it was nothing like the huge trigger I had with spithood a few weeks ago .. I mainly felt angry and hard in my chest ... yeah I know what you guys (fosters) can be like
That we got through the concert and dinner last weekend .. has me in a calm place and most of the week I have been resting.
My son has a nasty chest cold so I bought some decongestant .. as he is supposed to be singing some Rachmaninov tomorrow .. for some friend in a film ??? he doesnt know much more ... but it sounds like just the thing for him.
I just scoffed some cranberries and cashews .. with water ... I go through a lot of water.![]()
I am just sad that so many crap things happen to people. Cos I was in orphanage .. I always felt a "we" sense and didnt have much of an "I" ... probably witnessed a lot of dressing down and bashing stuff without realising or knowing ... Mostly I stayed out of trouble. I am one of the lucky ones ...
and @Former-Member
You dont owe me ...
I just know that we have to take it seriously when people are struggling.. and I saw so many professionals bungle it .... I am so glad that you have stayed posting whether it when you are feeling up or down ... you do have lots to give
It really takes time to process the seriousness of attempts and the possibility of loss ... everyone is effected ... in different ways .. I could say things to my son's gf ... easier than to him .. because we both care for the same person ...
But really being on the forum ... with the people ... the antsy people .. the despairing people .. the helpers ... chatty types ... the long posts .. in all their variety .. has reduced my loneliness and made it easier for me to cope for me and my son.

Re: Sleeping too much
I'm so pleased you're feeling human again.
Silly me. I've just finished a second stubby of pale ale and I'm feeling a tad drunk. Oops. It not surprising since I've just realised that I haven't eaten since breakfast at 5am..
I'm heading off to bed now. No point in cooking at this hour.
Take it gently for a few more days. The dust will quite happily until you're ready.

Re: Sleeping too much
I missed the porridge post before @Former-Member. I'm so glad you saw the humour in that today. Some days we laugh and some days we ( well I) want to throw the microwave :face_with_rolling_eyes:
I would love to see your Reno pics too. Not boring, think inspiring others. 💜😊

Hey @Decadian,
im into the whole touching wood thing too. Probably my only superstition. I had been going through an ok patch but the last fortnight - 3 weeks has rocked me for no real reason. Hopefully I'll be back on top soon again and have more resilience. Thanks for the support💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Then who's going to kick my backside @Kurra (because it's all about me 😂😳) It definately will be a lifestyle change. Are you going to apply for the other job, sorry if I just bought that up as you were trying to forget it. 💜😊
