Sleeping too much

Thanks @utopia

😆😜😄 .... raced the clock to the airport .... of course ..... but chaos has boarded and flown away for now ....

Less stressful weeks underway ....

❤️

Hi @Former-Member 😊

It is still within that fine line scenario .... but his behaviours are starting to stand out as odd .... not enough to ring alarm bells with everyone who meets him, but his family have become worried now.

Others are a bit confronted at how rigid he is regarding food and exercise .... but without any other frame of reference they can only put it down to being very dedicated about maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

You have to witness the mood swings .... and missed flights .... and not being able to sleep .... and turning on the heaters when nobody else is cold or turning off the car air conditioning when everyone else is hot, and realising that he"s rugged up in a hoodie .... and most people aren't dealing with him often or closely enough for it to strike them as strange ....

And he's a charmer ❣ which is a major distraction.

He did well to hold it together this weekend. I'm thankful for that much, even tho it meant having to smooth that path in front of his feet this morning. FSIL is livid. He still doesn't "get it" and thinks this is all a behaviour choice ....

If it's obvious outside our immediate circle, people would probably be to polite to enquire .... and how do you ask about something like this anyway .... ??

Hiya @Former-Member, yes tooth better thanx

Thanks @Kurra @Former-Member

Did the airport run in my jammies .... still in 'em .... 😊 .... and heading back to bed soon ....

S2 asked WH in the car how he had slept, and he said, "Well .... yeah well !! Actually it's the first sleep-through I've had in months ..... I got up at 4 o'clock ...." Then between the two of them they worked out that the "sleep-through" was only 5 and a half hours .... but WH just said, "Yeah, that's okay ...." :face_with_rolling_eyes:

No it's not. 5 and a half hours sleep occasionally you can get by on .... and when you add in the obsessive compulsive exercise .... no it's not .....😞

That's the prediction @Kurra .... that he's gonna reach a crisis. I hope it's a gentle sort of one .... like stress fractures in the feet or something ..... but even saying that sounds like I'm wishing ill on him ...... It's more that it's the lesser of what can happen .... npbut the best outcome will be if he reaches the Contemplation stage, where he starts to emerge from denial and "wake up" to what is happening to him .... how far he has drifted out of his depth ....

Anyway .... school holidays plus girl-only household equals "rom-coms" and easy dinners ..... I'm on down-time .... ❣ Worked out last year that I had to remove myself emotionally from "the issue" as much as possible, and that means lots of self-care and distraction .... so I'm pulling out the menu on that now .... 😏

Thanks for listening guys ..... can't fix it and don't want to burden you with the heart-sore we're carrying too much ... but it helps to be able to vent occasionally, and certainly to find understanding .... I have to keep myself from looking this thing full in the face .... like its Medusa .....

Hey @Former-Member .... 😊❣

Thanks so much for the feedback .... I know how much struggle you've got goin' on and don't want to burden you further, so it's good to hear that you're walkin' with me okay .... and love ❤️ that you're setting personal goals ❣

You will be helping others find a focus more than you know ....

Hugzzz .... 💐💕💗🐾✅
