Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member ....
You'd laugh if you could see me .... have left WH dozing in our hotel room, and I have crept down the stairs in my pj's looking for enough signal to send images on my iPad .... I have got tehough another link but not far enough to send anything ....
The staff are awake (5am) and preparing for the day, chatting amongst themselves in the belief that all the guests are still asleep .... lol .... will embarrass them if I step out now .... have sat on the stairs around the corner .... but I'm the one who's gonna be embarrassed if anyone finds me here in my pj's .... 😆
It's a really old hotel .... feels like I'm sitting in the middle of history .... maybe where maids or kids have sat in the step and listened to everyone ... ha ! .... I'm a big kid at heart and its showin' right now ....
Will re-post this in my travel thread ....

Re: Sleeping too much
@Faith-and-Hope, I did have a chuckle imagining you trying to find a signal to send a message to us, so early, in your PJs, lol you're a scream!! Love the image if the staircase in the old motel being trod by many maids and children etc in years gone by. Lovely.
Hi @Former-Member, @Shaz51, (sorry to you and Suzanne for being so sharp, been hurting), @Former-Member, @Former-Member, and all.

Re: Sleeping too much
@Decadian, nice to see you. About Melbourne's asthma storm - i heard two young people died fro asthma, like my girl, but there was no storm her day.
Do post the storm pic when you can, but there's a lot online, you could give us a link to one similar maybe.
Sorry you are 'suffering' with bad sinus ATM, it can be very painful, affect eyes, vision and general wellbeing. Maybe from the storm pollutants? Have you made diary changes to help sinus troubles? Dairy is the big one I hear and chocolate...
.
My CBT is mostly self taught from books & dr phil lol. Events can stir us up - being aware of internal processes in the midst of the storm (self awareness) is the hardest part, and the most important. I spent too many years "denying myself" like a good little 'girl' 'eldest daughter' (of a MI mother in a large family). 'nurse' 'Christian'
When my girl died, my youngest, a few people commented "now its your turn, time to focus on you" I could think of nothing so foreign to me and had nowhere to begin, the penny dropped when I started to research 'self-compassion' its meant to be instilled in us very very young, forming our personality, but I guess some parents can't give what they do not have.
Figure this is why I'm still here, on the planet, survived many close calls - to learn to love myself & become whole. Then I think I'll be ready for home. That's my theory anyway, and incidentally - the teachings of Louise Hay who has helped millions. Its quite a process and my 'treasure in darkness' of losing my girl.
You must be in so much pain Decadian, to need schedule 8 analgesia, tells me they finally believe you now at least. I hear the patches are very good.
I'm glad you're shifting your thoughts from the Juvenile Justice issues, I have learned to do the same with Family Court malpractice - the invisible but all powerful giants only money has any hope of changing.
Thats amazing you helped save this young man's life at a traffic accident. Love to hear more if its not too traumatic to rehash. So glad the police told you and credited you for actually saving this precious life. God knew you needed that. There's probably many wonderful life changing memories of events you've had to record for CBT. I have a friend who keeps a "JOYFUL JOURNEY" journal. I tried but misplace things all the time grr
Anyway Decadian, wishing you a SPEEDY RECOVERY, and back on deck asap, I missed you 🙂 xox

Hi @Former-Member
Good to see you feeling a bit better. It's crappy that you have to go through it. Hang in there. You are achieving new milestones all the time lately, kudos to you.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member 💕
It is great that you got through yesterday. xoxo
Are you feeling ok, or emotionally drained?
I'm home today, mopping floors etc, very exciting. 😀
We didn't end up getting a storm. Did you?
Cloudy all day, bit of thunder, but that's it.
Here's a cuppa for you. ☕🍰

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks, Teej, I am hoping I bounce back quicker this time, so I can get a breather, respite from it before Christmas, and then again for Anzac Day. Some people mock the process, but I hope they never have to know how REAL it is. Not just to be in my shoes, but so many others.
Are you ok? Yourself?

Re: Sleeping too much
I know you have to do what you have to do to get through this @Former-Member. I have no idea how I would be but I expect I would be very similar to you. I'm already one who holds tightly onto anniversary dates both good and bad.
I've been going ok but having a crappy day today. Today is the kind of day that led to me in the past having had written on my case notes 'high risk of death by misadventure' as I've had random thoughts of SH but I'm not feeling suicidal at all, just crazy and impulsive. But I guess I've come a long way since then and am trying to keep distracted to not act on them. Sounds stupid and ridiculous but I guess it is what it is. Its a bit of the case of the crash that had to happen. Anyway I'll be fine, just needed to whinge to someone. I'm feeling quite disconnected to the world today.

Re: Sleeping too much
Love a cuppa @Former-Member, thanks. Big hug to you.
Yes, I am drained, but could be worse. - Didn't sleep much & gastric all day not helping grr (stress response I suppose).
No storm here yet, or thunder, but its coming, ALL the birds are gone, its quiet, hot and still. Overcast, trying to rain, the frogs have crocked, they say to expect rain for the next x7 days, probably wake up to it.
You're good mopping the floor. I'm trying to clean up, its very very very slow.
Kinda glad my son didn't come today, while all these benchtops are cluttered like this. And I haven't showered yet. Just all part of what's happening, trying not to judge, just move through it.
There's a saying:
"If you find yourself going
through hell - keep going"
