Re: Sleeping too much

Good you are resting @Kurra

You sound like you have been super busy with work and I know that shift work can be very draining. Did shift work years ago. Often worked until 10pm and then would start at 6am, not much sleep, that's for sure.

6 days off woo hoo! That will be nice.

Heh @Faith-and-Hope, is WH honest with doc's, specialists etc..ie. covering up .no doubt you go with him. I'm tipping he's going to get more clever about it, I.e: dodge ball?
Just my concern !!

@Former-Member, no way don't be hard on yourself. You will get there, and I agree rest days are needed for state of mind. Everything takes time. 😊

@Former-Member

He has been 100% dodge-ball up until now which is why we are in this mess. An ed will go to any lengths to hide itself .... but now he is scared ..... hoping he will over-ride the ed and fess up if they start asking the right questions ....

Hoping and praying ....

Hi @Former-Member, its so hard to get out the house when ya exhausted and aching all over - but you did it.

A drive in the mountains, walk in the rainforest, came home & cooked (my fav . lamb steaks, mash and vegies - yum!). Glad you're thinking clearer off benz.

Keep practising the mindfulness - the benefits are subtle, but better for us long-term. I forget a lot too but every little bit counts. Didn't know M had frontal lobe benefits. Or that other parts play more of an adverse role with stress, cortisol, adrenalin etc. Interesting. Half an hour twice a day seems like a lot - I'm impressed! Must remember taking a snack next time - got the shakes by 10am. I hope the flowers for friend were appreciated. Its hard to read the people at church sometimes.

My parents aging is hard and they complain we don't do enough - pushing the guilt button. Look after myself without feeling or being selfish is hard to gauge. knowing where those boundaries are - its a hard one - wish I was closer. TODAY here has been weird, kept falling asleep, no obvious trigger. All I really got done was a bit of gardening & also finally got round to treating 2 big trees that are infected with bora (drilled big holes around the trunk & filled them with poisoning), do hope it works.

Hope you sleep well, having built some wonderful memories to process. Better days ahead xox

Feeling odd, different, detached
What to doooooo,
Party next door tonight.
Sleeping a lot today, bushed - body adjusting to the shock of exercise I guess. Had a lot of heart palps today. Changes happening.
