Re: Sleeping too much
Good morning @Peppi Patty
Thank you for your reply.
I woke today feeling better for sleep, still tired and contemplative of the fact...same thing again..others see me making not so well thought out modes of functioning. I think my mum used to save the day when I was younger, I'd seem to get myself in, without seeing, she'd gently prize me back out. Is this a depression, do I really not see what choices I make..to land in situations...@2angels posts come to mind for me here.
My dad was my ultimate over seer...he'd see, and was pretty clever about how he directed..without breaking my natural flow, spirit perhaps.
Yesterday I felt horrible, went back to sleep when my son did, I've been doing that more and more..a sort of existing ...even hate going to the supermarket etc...I put up appearances but really I know I'm feeling a sense of giving up.
I feel people view me as stupid.
I know I'm not, far from it.
I've made different choices, but I've scathed through tough ones alone because no one helped.
It's much the same now with my two older son's, their father still puts me down, says derogatory comments...it's hard work.
I've appointed a psychologist for him, met her kn one session, didn't go great. I think she's dropped us. I.e. said she'd call...that was 4 weeks ago.
Anyway I'll be fine, got to keep moving..school run!
Thank you Peppi, first nicest,kindest words anyone spoken to me in a long time. ❤

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi Leia, Peppi, F&H, Decadian, Bridget, Teej, Apple, Lisajane, Utopia, Tab, Shaz, Sadgirl, Ocean, ... and everyone, and mods... (so many beautiful souls). Just a quiet call out, saying hi.how ya doing?
I just loaded the trailer and wore myself out, taking a break. Everyone seems quiet today. Hope alls well. Trying to get on top of things here, why iscit that we always have to start at the bottom, grr, oh well. Must try finish one thing before starting another. Stuff all over. Disappointing myself, had to cancel my garage sale tomorrow. No big deal putting it off I guess, just wish I was, well, more. Couldn't e end get anyone to come sit with me a couple hours - very anxious about people coming & going. Really hate the social phobia. Well, Berta not stay laying down too long again. Years catch up to do here.
What's everyone else doing?

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member. Been a long time since we've caught up. We seem to both have bad days at the same time & I do tend to hybernate a bit when I'm not 100%.
How are things going today?
Just picked my son up from camp. They had 3 days in Melbourne - ice skating, rock climbing, Eureka Sky Deck etc. To be honest, I wish the camp went a few days longer. Could do with some more me time - especially when my anxiety is up.
We have our local show on tomorrow & my friends will be performing on stage & I'm sure my son will empty out my pockets - so hd can go on all thd rides - and then pretend I'm not there - while he hangs out with his mates. Teenage years. Lol.
Have you got any plans for this weekend?

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member. Ws must have been posting at the same time.
I'm still taking things easy. Anxious and emotional - seem to be a common theme for me lately. But it should pass in the next week - fingers crossed.
I couldn't do a garage sale on my own - even without anxiety. I'd want someone to sit and talk with while I waited. And 2 heads are better than one - as the saying goes.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hey @Former-Member...ive picked up this arvo, not flash earlier on's.
Got a child tantrum at present...joy!
It's been pouring here today, so I was forced indoors all day.
What a shame with the garage sale.
Well I hope it gives you time to sort some more. before you do go ahead.
Hmm I think I was going to lay low, but here I am...to simply say hello and yay it's FRI-YAY..can't hurt anyone.
I hope your carnival turns out to be a fun day @utopia..I've felt that way too many a time, when I just need to re-group my sense of balance, self 😱 etc...not always easy No!
Well love to you both, and happy hugs ❤❤❤

Re: Sleeping too much
@utopia, I didn't think it was too much to ask, come sit with me, but it was, and I hadn't fin pricing & cleaning things.
At the risk of breaking my own rules of self-compassion, I've become pathetic / lazy. Not sure why. Choice, inertia, depression or I'll. Am a bit anaemic.
@Former-Member, why ha e you been worse do ware? Hope you bounce back soon.We always do in time.

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member. You have had some busy weeks and maybe now you just need some slower, quieter weeks.
It's hard to stay on the same trajectory sometimes when living with a MI.
So try not to be hard on yourself. This is just temporary and you will be back into the garage sale and renovations before too b long

Re: Sleeping too much
Oh no @Former-Member..I've had anemia, really takes you low. Not good with an MI mixed in. I think my pregnancies took deep dark lows, I didn't know forum then but made a circle of friends on other SM site...was so hard.
I think it's brain chemistry with me Tawney, plus add a few stressors, Inc forum conflicts, not sleeping enough and boom she's goes off...paranoia, needing to rest in the day, no meaning to life other than running the motions...I think that was it. Today after a small rest, I swung back, almost opposite. Least my paranoia has backed it's bony shadow away..yuck...hate that one. I think PP's post helped pull me up...I think I have psych sesh next week, will tell her what my brain has been bringing up of late. The joys of life heh!

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
How are you ?
I've been thinking about what Community means............we all need just one common belief that ties us together who is in a community.
In my novel....it's believing in a type of church and studying the bible ......
I have no idea what keeps me and my husband together. Maybe from knowing each other for so many years and that we are both helping each other recover in a Very positive way.
so........when You choose someone to spend time with, do you have that sense of........completion or happiness with them?
You write that you have made different choices.....I have as well!! What is the THEME that you have decided on these choices? Are they positive or do you feel insecure ?
If you look at that wonderful movie called Lantana If you press. HERE you will see the trailer of it. It's a brilliant movie about relationships
which relationship is good and which relationship is going no where......
PS
(the woman having the affair is going to open your eyes but the relationship with with her husband is dead.
Your not stupid. Im seeing my therapist about me stopping obssessing over my Dad stealing my home......I have so many of my own problems. It feel s like that something good is going to happen soon........just let the world turn around by itself and lets see what will happen for the both of us ....
thanks for your brill. message. Please kiss your son. And the older 2 ! You sound like a great Mum like your parents........
Anne
