Re: Sleeping too much

Re: Sleeping too much
PHEW!!! Feel like I dodged a bulletbthis week. This would have to be the first year in 5 I haven't come undone, done things I regret. Proud of myself, that I stayed on the board and road that wave in to shire (not dunked - yippee!!). I really do credit it to having you guys to talk to and the widow who retired this year and is free now. Even my VC, well, won't say it. The kyb group don't really allow time for 'really' getting to know mW or things like this. Do need to tread carefully there - new kid on the block and all.
Anyway, thanks sane forums for this service. Worth more than you know.
So glad to have my new 'friend family'
Just realised not one of my biological family tried to ring, son did tx "thinking of you" mother sent tx that was unrelated (after ignoring the past three), she's playing with me so just haven't got the energy, but in her defence she is OLD now and unwell. 4bros & TS, well, they're lost too. Not that its the first time uncles and aunts forget niece & nephew b'days, done it myself. Just wish...
I haven't long realised my ignoring the hurt simply enables their emotional abuse. Like my x finally, kind a working in reverse. I love them, always will, but don't 'like' any one of them anymore, Accept my aunt, maybe dad.
Blackdog tells me, or concludes:
- the feeling is mutual, always has been, you're just slow on the uptake dumbell"
- everyone will feels the same when they get to know you
- they all leave... ...
... ... ...
AT LEAST NOW I'M AWARE OF BLACKDOG - and question its play (Thanks to Asbett's book "taming the blackdog'
Anyway, learning to save ringing mum & dad & Serious MI brothers unless I'm feeling strong now. Have to. Sad. The others have rejected me, so learning to let go (what they want), they can have their rejection.
Wonder if my son will drive the extra hour to visit today? Clearing the table just in case. Maybe shower (oops, 4days on that one).
Prattelling on again sorry, better DO something. Back later.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member
I have a great pic of that asthma storm but the elements are against me posting it - darn it - I will keep trying
I am suffering from it atm - I have sinus pressure which is getting worse and it's hard to focus my eyes - so some things will have to wait
Yeah - we have to somehow control our triggers but they do happen and now having CBT I am seeing more clearly how some events do stir us up in a huge way - and I try and stop thinking about the way young people wreck a facility without knowing anything at all about the cost of such behaviour - etc - and for you - yes the storm will be back your past -
About my analgesia - I have prescription medication for it - schedule 8 which I could not have for such a long time without the support of a pain clinic - so otc medication is just for antihistamines and other stuff to clear sinus pressure. My main medication is slow release - a couple of nights back I was feeling cold and ill and went to bed before it was time to take the slow release stuff and didn't get around to taking it that night and the next day - aw yes!! it works as long as I take it
Seeing as I am doing CBT I have tried to shift my thoughts away from the Juvenile Justice issues and reflect on another young man whose life I saved after a traffic accident. I didn't do anything heroic - I just sat beside him in the wrecked car and kept reminding him to breathe until the paramedics came - there were several other first aiders there attending to the other young men who were not so badly injured
That was traumatic at the time - but it is a good memory for CBT - almost as if I replaced the life I could not save with the one I did - the police told me I had saved his life.
I am not particularly proud of that short space of time so long ago - but it is helpful at times to reflect upon it

Hi @Decadian ....
Maybe leave off trying to post that asthma storm pic for a while, or drop it into another thread maybe ... ?
Just reminding you that it was asthma that took @Former-Member's girl, and yesterday was J's birthday anniversary, so the storm pic will
probably be a bit too heavy on her right now .... just wanted to give you a bit of a heads up there cos you might have missed that .... sort like the juvenile riots are for you ....
Wow @Decadian .... what a special experience sitting with that young man gave you ... knowing that you helped to keep him alive .... I am glad you have memories like that to keep in your joy basket too .... 💗
