Re: Sleeping too much

Hello @Former-Member, no not yet on diagnosis.
I have to fill out large doc. related to schemas.
From here we are going to discuss.
I think sometimes I have to really think hard it seems to 'see' what's going on.
No doubt my confusion is related to schemas.
I'm going to put myself to bed...I am quite tired and ave done a few 3-4 hr nights, got a big weekend...I'll keep swimming as F+H says! 😊

Re: Sleeping too much

Does that mean your psychologist is looking at schema therapy @Former-Member? It's interesting to see which ones are firing. I hope you get some good rest. I hope you pick up soon 💐💜😊🤗

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member, You going out every day is pretty good effort. Proud of you. You're right, it makes us get moving. Its hard being sensitive as we are, easy for people to push our button. Just have to separate from it somehow.
I'm grieving my family a lot this week, they really are not being a 'family' to me. I kinda tried too hard to connect there when my girl died, because I needed it I guess, but letting go finally, trying to accept I'm on my own, with out interpreting that as 'I'm done' rather, "its just me, and I'm enough" Well, trying.
You're doing really well, in terms of the 'lows' not so low, nipping them in the bud. Much better! proud of you Teej, its easier to climb out of the lows if we don't get so deep.

I have horrible emotional pain today, can feel it strong, makes th SI skyrocket. need some grog but can't 'cause don't know when to stop, haha. No, I'll be OK. Take a shower & have a early night I think.
Thanks for connecting, need it. xox

Re: Sleeping too much

@Former-Member I think that it's sad but a good move forward to 'let go' of your family for now as they only bring you anger, pain and frustration. That doesn't mean it's forever, just for now for you to get stronger. I'm so sorry you've been in so much pain. You deserve a break from all of that and the SI which is so debilitating. After being so much in the thick of it for probably nearly a month I am feeling better not having it just now but I know I'm in the honeymoon phase after having a hospital break. It will build and come back again but I'm trying really hard to not let it for a while yet.

And yes my sensitivity gets me in lots of trouble. The psychiatrist in hospital said I was very sensitive which is not a bad thing but I need to work on it a little, 'toughen up a little' were his words. I'm not sure how to do that yet but I know I do need to. I guess though @Former-Member when I see the things that trigger you I think they would trigger anyone. You have every reason to be affected by many of your triggers. They are all valid to most people so please don't think it's because it's you. The psychiatrist said those things to me because I fell into a complete heap and had SI because I heard a lady distressed in her hospital room. I have no idea what she was distressed over but I fell in a huge hole over it. Seriously I need to work this out. For you I think you need to keep doing what you are because we can all see a difference in you. You have so any very difficult things to process. I really do feel for you. I also often feel really proud of you. So keep going @Former-Member because I think there are good things ahead for you. Hugs💜💐🤗
