Re: Sleeping too much
Dearest @Former-Member
I like your honesty.
These are some tips that have helped me ....even just two days ago when someone called me nutter and I fell apart for the day.
1. Do something nice for you every day.
2. plan your day so you dont have 'nothing to do,'
3. Reach out. Talk to someone.
4. try and see grey areas.
5. accupuncture.
What do you think?
These ideas are taken from The Richmond Foundation site in Western Australia.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Faith-and-Hope, so good to see you. And I'm sooooooo pleased the wedding went well. Happy for D1 and all of you. As for WH, the overcompensating and mixed messages, what more can you do, can you try see the funny side, quietly (or too close perhaps), I hear you
Perhaps a Bailey's might be more in forder for you tonight, instead of coffee. A well earned Bailie's & decaf coffee coming up. I'm determined to Tuck you in for a good nights sleep.
I was thinking about everyrbing, you've been so wound up over the Wedding & struggling school leaver, for months, and lack of sleep last week. Perhaps its just hit you that you can finally relax a little - much of the pressure is off. This is an adjustment - but a good one. I'd probably sleep for a week but something tells me you'll be up and off to see your Finn babies every day real soon. You're like your mum, she'd be so proud. Sure she'd have a Bailey's and toast to your success to light too. Well son sister. 😉

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Former-Member ❤️
SIL mentioned my mum in his speech, said he felt he knew something of her from hearing about her influence over us, and D1's memories of her .... that was sweet ... it brought her into the room .... ❤️🌻
It was one of those "imposter" moments with my WH .... like ... who are you and wiht have you done with my husband ? You sound like him sometimes, and you look a bit like him, and you take my breath away with some of the sweet things you do in his name .... but you're not him. You're locked into a mind-set that keeps you from being him, and that mind-set is destroying you / him .... 😔 ....
So confusing when you look straight at it .... and there was no avoiding it if I was going to make the most of the wedding and focus on the positives. You woulda been proud of me if you were there ..... I did what was right in the moment, even tho it meant owning the grief today .... and a bit blind-sided by it.
Nevamind ❣ Courage. Patience. Hope. Faith .... repeat .... Courage. Patience. Hope. Faith .... repeat ....
Tomorrow's another day and I'l get the blinkers back off in the morning I'm sure. Guess D1 helps me to do that usually .... she rang to thank me for the beaded gift, and the one I made for SIL.
DIL played up at the wedding, but S1 took her home early and came back to party with us, which was great for the other kids. We all miss him in his on-duty carer role, then we get these surprise interludes where either she is in a great mood and it feels like a family again, or she doesn't come, and he does.
Nobody wanted to go home from the wedding at the end of the night. That's a sure sign of success ... 😊
Ready for that Bailey's when you are ....

Re: Sleeping too much
I haven't caught up with everything here yet and want to but can't as I'm a little messy and can't concentrate but had just quickly checked @Former-Member response from the feeling desperate thread I tagged you in. Your response was beautiful and heartfelt and so helpful and I just wanted you to know this. It was the exact reason I tagged you because I knew you would be able to connect and offer hope and help in a beautiful way which you did. I'm so sorry that you had to experience it to connect so deeply and really hope I didn't trigger you by tagging. But I thought you should feel ok that your experiences have probably meant so much in this instance. Sending hugs 💜😊🤗💐
