Sleep well @Faith-and-Hope.
After a family announcement yesterday, it looks as if we'll be off to Ireland later next year.

Always admire peoples green thumbs. Xmas time can be really difficult, glad you dont feel so alone with connecting to the group. Hope your day is going ok. Take care. Purple Flowers..

Hi @Decadian
Yes, I do feel good that I put my daughters needs before my mother and your so right, it is the correct order of things...And yes most of the time I am ok doing what I do for my mother and at other times I have ptsd triggers that are awful and cannot even pinpoint whats taking place (nothing outwardly). Those are the times I think what the hell am I doing. When not triggered it goes along ok. Thanks for your reply @Decadian much appreicate your thoughts. PurpleFlowers

Re: Sleeping too much
Hello @Decadian
Such wise words, we didnt start, we werent responsible for their actions and 'only' need to work on ours now... Yes and I feel lucky that when I need to seek help we have that option in this country of ours..I have complained in another post about some of the things wrong with therapy/counselling that have happened for me but it really does come down to if you can find someone you work well with it can make such a huge difference. I can honestly say there has been only a couple of the many that ive tried but am grateful for that. Yes and I see so much strength and resilence in the face of such adversity here on this site and I am very grateful for the honesty and the humbleness. Purpleflowers..

Hi @TAB, @Faith-and-Hope, @Shaz, @Decadian, & everyone. Thanks for the callouts. @Kurra, I've been holding you in the light since your last health scare, are you feeling better? Hope results come back promising. Wonderful thought going to Ireland, can I hide in ya suitcase. lol

@PurpleFlowers, thanks for reaching out to me, i'm not myself and cant remember histories like this. Gone into a slump, and the heat isn't helping.
Keeping water on the garden helps but treated bore water (our town water) is so inferior to rain for their survival. Must put some mulch around.
The fast growing tree out back is, i think, a sandpaper fig, @Shaz51, was asking, but I'l check with the nursery. Its giving great shade to build my nursery under. My little self employment project. My mothers the one with a green thumb, she has a little tropical oasis in her backyard.
Keeping the water bowls up for the poor wild birds, and wildlife is twice daily thing in this heat, its so hard for little creatures in this heat.
Xmas time can be really difficult, not been asked to join anyone yet or dare ask, given up on hosting my own christmas day bbq in the park, no energy. Connecting here, my cyber friend family is helping. Thanks for putting up with me all.
My day, days are weird atm .
- My son's too busy for a phone conversation.
- My bro3 is in hospital having a MH tribunal tomorrow, they've shifted diagnosis from schizophrenia to depression and want to impose shock treatment. It worries me they're just experimenting.
- Bro4 had the MH admission last month and back on his CTO injections enhanced by 'pot' addiction
- Just tried to ring Bro2 to try help out but he rarely ever talks to me or them.
- Broo1 hasn't bothered talking with me since stopped being 'nice' and asked him to just once apologise for the CSA... And mar just told me his MS has taken hold and he's being admitted to hospital today. Doesn't sound good.
- Mar has lost 10% body weight with her S4 cancer, being dad's carer who has early dementia (bad memory loss) & mobility issues.
That's my family, oh, my sister, she hasn't communicated with me since the year my daughter died, too attention seeking she declared, that was 5yrs almost.
That's my family, I feel like I'm in a war zone taking cover in a dug out waiting for the destruction to stop. Think I'm gonna die alone in this hole.
I dont know, Maybe being christmas as well, my own grief aniversaries, and my BS study group & CF group closing down for 8wk christmastmas break (when I need them most).
Not sure what my son wants to do for Christmas, too scared to ask. He knows I love to have him (he is my Christmas), but I'm just not good enough I fear. But he is very bonded to his partner and her family. And now my x is shacked up with a rich widow, he has better options.
Its all I can manage right now. Laying in bed typing this with one hand on my mobile ph. Gotta push myself. I did race out to woolies last min last night to grab specials before change over. And had VC visit with another medical report in hand to discuss. And applied for 1k loan to fix car. And rang my bro & mar. I'm doing nearly nothing and I'm so tired. But like winter, it will blow over soon I guess. Don't mean to complain. Just made apt with Dr to maybe up my antidepressants. Got to have another sleep study test next week. Tidy house etc. I don't know, will keep trying.
ta for being here guys, I know its a busy time of year.
