Re: Sleeping too much
Ok @TAB so here goes what I've been holding in. Sometimes I think you forget you are on a MENTAL HEALTH FORUM where you are talking to people who are really vulnerable, me included. This MENTAL HEALTH FORUM is moderated so that people feel safe and supported. This allows us some security to discuss issues that are really personal and difficult to discuss with others. No one is out to get you but you need to remember that you are on a MENTAL HEALTH FORUM where you get to discuss your mental health issues and get support. When you throw in snide, criptic comments they often get lost by some but not all of us. You can dig and hurt at times. I've watched it happen and let it go. I am wondering what you think you bring to the forum that helps with mental health issues. I don't want to see you leave at all. My aim of writing this is to give you a chance to think about your participation on here and how you best support others and perhaps get support for your own mental health issues. I will no doubt get moderated for this but feel like you need to hear it from me. I have felt supported by you and still wish to support you here too but I need to feel safe and see that others feel safe which is important to me.

Re: Sleeping too much
I'm sorry @Former-Member. I had to say what I'd been thinking and stressing about. I promise I have no more to say on this now. I hope I haven't caused you any discomfort. 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
** Suggestion .....
Particularly within the confines of the forum, it is important to be able to state when your boundaries are being pressured, and at that point it is clearly no longer appropriate to either tease or press / agitate further .....
Apologies can be difficult to issue sometimes, and to receive .... especially if you don't feel that you have done any wrong or harm .... but stepping back and allowing the tension to defuse is wise and considerate .....
We use the "agree to disagree" format at home ..... aka .... "Okay, we don't see eye to eye on this point, so let's just agree to put the topic / conversation away and leave it alone .... "
Let's keep some breathing space when there's tension and stay cool with each other ....
Love you guys .....
💜🌷💜🌷💜🌷💕

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh dear, still awake and its nearly dawn. You're probably all snoozing, as you should be, grr jealous.
Gonna have to make a cuppa soon, stop laying here 'reading' (interesting catching up on different threads though, joining the dots.
Feeling guilty for having a bit of an overspend at Op shops yesterday. Think its an addiction. Spent my last dollar on the way home yesterday. Mind you, pretty good bargains. Oh dear, there I go justifying myself. Suppose to be getting RID of things & saving up for necessities like new tyres on the car & trip to see sick parents. Its nuts, like I can't drive past an op shop. Gonna have to though. Sometimes I just don't go out because i 'm scared I'll overspend. There's gotta be a name for it, more scientific than 'retail tberapy' or 'shopoholic' My worst thing is clothes - so many, my body shape has changed and gone up and Dow 2, 3 sizes this last 5yrs (without trying), and I love to sew so material and clothing recycling is a real hobby (incomplete because I get so unorganized).
Is anyone else hooked on Op Shops?
Gonna have a TaiChi, no oops, ChiLatte lol and run with being awake.

Re: Sleeping too much
I'm with you @Former-Member..op shops, clothes addictive..yep ✅✅ I woke because partner off early..got thinking how painful I am..he says not. I need reassuring..starting to think I'm BPD..I used to have big habit on clothes, then met my partner he told me I didn't need to shop at op shop anymore, to buy myself things. These days I control it, usually buy clothes etc for kids instead!! 😂😂.. just read thread a little..😞..hope everyone is ok? I hate conflict..well I try rest..be up soon. Take care everyone @Former-Member, @Apple blossom, @TAB..be kind to thy selves..❤💙💜🙏🌌

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member, I hate conflict too, bedt ignore it, leave it to the mods.
There's nothing wrong with wanting a bit of reassurance by your love.
Glad I have an Op Shop kindred spirit here, though I think more confessions will come fwd lol.
Hope you get a bit of sleep before little man wakes.
