Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks for the apple cidar vinager reminder F&H, ran out of that too. Bit daft I've overlooked these antiinflammatory helps the same week I started walking. Everything has flarred up. On the other hand its helpful to know there's something i can do to try ease the discomfort without quitting altogether. Thanks for the tops on listening to the body & doing shorter bursts when necessary. Just quietly, there's a little part of me singing "I really like going walking, especially with company"
On a lighter note, MY HAIR (very very thick wavy sometimes fuzzy), which I have been growing long for 18months now, I went to sleep without a hairband - you guessed it, my hair was doing its 'defy gravity' thing, going every which way, and the knots - oh dear (deal with that later when my arms are not so sore) - looking in the mirror my mothers voice echoes in my head saying "you loom like "the wreck of the Hesperus" So, now I can, I goole it eady, thought I'd work out what this weird saying really meant: https://lindalcrowe.wordpress.com/tag/wreck-of-the-hesperus/
Not so funny (especially for me) but very vivid, and a little funny ending twist if you want a read, you can also Google the poem. xox

Re: Sleeping too much
HI @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member, @Decadian, @TAB, @PeppiPatty, @Former-Member, @Shaz51and everyone else
Sorry I missed you last night @Former-Member. I crashed not long after my last post. I got from hospital on Friday afternoon. I think i needed it though. I'm not feeling quite so crazy and out of control. I am going to try and get some better routines going as that was highlighted as being a big reason for me not holding it together which means a sleep routine I'm trying but failed last night, hopefully tonight will be better. I got my dog back last night and he is being very smoochy.
@Former-Member its great you are trying to walk. I'm hoping to add that more consistently in my routine. I start my fitness group on Tuesday through the community mental health service. I think I'll really feel it after.
The weather is atrocious here too at the moment, one glorious day followed by high wind. Last night I got my laptop out for the first time in a long time as my ipad crashed and needed restoring from a computer. Its been a little daunting but ok. I havent been able to face it much before because it represents my old life, its like a time capsule of my life before. I've opened iTunes for the first time in a couple of years and have been playing my old music. My son noticed and said I must be feeling better to play it and that I haven't done it for years now. So far so good. @TAB There's even some music you might like 
I hope you are all having a nice Sunday afternoon. 
Typed on my laptop, I'm much quicker on my ipad with predictave text

Re: Sleeping too much
How's things @TAB? I'm feeling a bit better just trying to work out how to stop becoming so intense and crazy again. I think I've lost my light hearted self for now, everything seems so serious and negative but I'm working on it.
I hope you are ok

@Former-Member
All good 🙂
How do you find your ipad, I was thinking of buying one- would you recommend or just buy a new laptop?
I think the sleep is really important, I should talk because my sleep routine is not the best from a long shot, I know you are probably aware but taking a laptop to bed is not a good idea for sleep. But in saying that when I was in hospital I had no caffeine, laptop, TV etc and it made little difference to me.
When are you starting your exercise program - that sounds good. I have been a bit down of late but felt better after having some lunch though.
