Re: Sleeping too much
Hey, @Faith-and-Hope, must have been typing the same time you were (in sync in the spirit maybe). Is this week a good time for you to 'detox'? Hope your walk helps a bit. Keeping you in the light my sister 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
So ..... S1 sent a pic huh ... ? That's a win 😊
Sorry you're feeling crappy too @Former-Member .... hope it passes soon .... glad you checked in here .....
Working out how to cheat at making my house look more together than it is ..... with everything going a bit haywire lately and still too much to do, I don't have the stuffing for making it all look nice, but I want it to look nice .... where are magic wands when you need one ??
Have to make priority checklists methinks .... and stick myself on the top of all of them ..... or I'll end up getting everyone else sorted and not me ....
WH is developing a problem with his eyes .... not great but not too serious ..... discomforted more so ..... optometrist is giving him care instructions ..... still under the radar .... wondering what he would say about the bigger picture ..... hmmm .....
"It will all come out in the wash"

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member .... appreciate it no-end !!
💜💐💜💐💜💕
Not deliberately detoxing ..... body holds toxic fat stores with a metabolic syndrome issue, only processes out the junk when it is comfortable to .... stresses the liver ..... so the trick is to get a healthy life balance going (as in low-stress .... ha !!) and wait for the system to slowly release and cleanse in it's own time. If you go excessive with diet and exercise it will do a lock-down .... sort of like famine storage when you're not eating enough ....
Of course you can do a WH and go at it gung-ho ..,, and hammer your liver in the process .... not advised ..... other health issues can result from that ....
Your soup is ideal for the gentleigh-bentleigh approach .... as is long walks .... decent sleep patterns .... oh, and did I say low-stress lifestyle .... whoops ..... 😳

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks for the check in @Former-Member. It sounds like things are all over the place at the moment but it feels like you are remaining strong with all that going on around (family). To me it seems like you've always tried so hard to be a good big sister which I admire. Those boys are lucky to have you, they probably just can't always see due to their MI.
The fear of abandonment one is such a strong pull. I've had it on here a lot and obviously so much in real life although my therapist says I've come along way with trusting her that she'll not abandon me. It doesn't make much sense often why that takes hold. You probably saw my reaction today to @Appleblossom thought of leaving, my reaction was instant.
Love your son joking with you. My boys would do that too to stir me. They do lots of things they know I'll bite at to stir me.
I hope to tomorrow is a good one. Not sure how I'll be as I have my proper psych 6week appointment and probably a change in medication. I'm really not sure how I feel about it all. Today I had a day full of epiphanies after my appointment. I wait and se what tomorrow brings, they might just be whisky thoughts after all.
Take care of you, sending hugs💜😊💐🤗

Re: Sleeping too much
Noooooo @Faith-and-Hope don't tell me they're running out of magic wands😁😂 just hate it when you need one and can't locate them. I need to tell you that you've helped me a fair bit lately connect some important dots today in my therapy session. I've come to realise my intensity (sometimes in the form of anxiety, sometimes just a bee in my bonnet) with everything is born from my black and white, all or nothing, good or bad thinking. It gave me some perspective. So cheers 🍻
Hopefully there will be lots of time to de stress soon. Thinking of ya and sending lots of de stress hugs and best wishes
💜😊💐🤗

Re: Sleeping too much
That's interesting @Faith-and-Hope, if I did the walking I'd be on the way. Dr said I looked thinner yesterday but actually weigh 5kg more 😞 So hate the weight issues.
My liver enzymes were really high for two years after my girl died, a real mess. They've normalised.
.
Life is about balance, be kind to yourself this week. Like your list, and being sure to prioritise a few important things for you. Some say the best way to be the best you for all those you love and lice for, is to look after you. In an ideal world it comes back to us naturally, but this is not an ideal world. Take those little time outs. Lighting a candle for you, Hugzz

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member .... 😊
Keep sorting the pieces into place .... I reckon it will start to happen faster progressively, just like a jigsaw puzzle when you've got the edge pieces and main images sorted into place ....
Coursge, patience, faith .... 💜

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope and anyone else on here. 💕
Just letting you know I'm still around. 💜
Love and hugs to you all. 😙
I've been slowly getting myself off benzo meds. For me they are supposed to be for emergencies, if I have a panic attack. I've been taking them every day to prevent a panic attack. 😯😮 Not a good idea. Liver is saying, "no more".
Today I met up with high school friend for lunch. Haven't seen her since the 80's. It was lovely to see her.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member .....
FYI - I avoid the scales like the plague ..... I can lose a whole dress size but go up 10kg on the scales !! Grrr .... all part of the mystical mess that is MbS ..... these "unusual" fat stores apparently draw a higher blo*d supply than normal fat stores, and do their own chemical exchange, making them very heavy, and a toxic influence over-all .... been quite an education really .... and all you can really do is keep at it, gently, sensibly, on a daily basis.
Getting there. My blo*fs are good .... ✅ Energy levels much more stable .... ✅ Becoming slowly leaner .... ✅
