Re: Sleeping too much

Frightens me a little, running off to be alone O/N because this is part of my checking out fallback plan that's always calling me in the back of my mind. Hopefully just an echo but its hard to know if I'll disassociate again, do dumb things, when I'm alone, or stressed or vulnerable etc. Guess the wanting to 'run away' so badly is a warning sign. Its so hard to self assess, crying a lot today.
So want SOMEONE to love me, especially these times (put me first for a day, bring a meal or just sit silently with me on the veranda...), why is that too much to ask in this world.

Yeah, there's a dog friendly caravan park up in the mountains that have bunkers for only $25 night, can afford that.not sure about my car tyres though, on the verge of 'exploding' and all, hmm

Re: Sleeping too much

Hey @Former-Member, you sound so hurt. Is there no-one who acknowledges the day with you? I know that there are times when we need others to reach out to us. But sometimes we've put up such a strong front that they don't realise it. Or are so set in a pattern of helper-helpee that they don't know how to turn it around.

Is it possible to reach out to whoever you would like to spend time with and directly ask? Of course you shouldn't have to. Of course they should understand and automatically include you in their plans. But if the alternative makes you concerned about your actions or mental health, it's not worth the hurt or pride or whatever stops you reaching out.

You're not remotely horrible Tawney. But you may be someone who hasn't been explicit about their hopes or needs. Which is not the same thing at all

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member, there is nobody I'm comfortable asking for support. They're all sick of me I think (not that I'm in there face, try hard not to be). Only last night I rang me son to see how his new job and new car was going this week. I asked if he had anything in mind to remember his sisters birthday - he snappyd at me for reminding him as he's trying not to think about it and how I spoiled his week bringing it up. Just wanted to tell him a simple thing I do - buy a box of her fav chocolates and feast in her honour but even that idea met with "gotta go"
Nobody can handle it, me.
