You too @Zoe7, u made it through. Did u try the grounding? Its so simple it seems silly, but effective. I like to engage doing things that feed my soul, being mindful if details, and pleased with end product. Being creative, following directions, all helps.

Hi @Zoe7

It is impossible to let anyone down here - we already know how hard things can be and we can make suggestions which you are free to ignore if you chose

Suggestions are not like advice - imo when people give advice - as well meaning as it might be - can be - it can also have a message hidden in it - eg - if you do this you will feel better

And actually - we know this is not always the case - you can try but in a suggestion is always a voice of inner knowledge - there are times when nothing - NOTHING works - but just getting through the next few minutes is enough

Achieving inner calm is a long journey - I started this journey so long ago I can't remember when it was - but seeing as I am finally having longer periods of inner calm I must have started some time - I have had a very full life

I hope today is better for you - take things quietly - do what you can - I love the suggestion to remind yourself who you are and what you did yesterday and what you hope to do tomorrow - even if tomorrow's activities included staying in bed for a long time, reading and eating chockies

Grouch - it is getting on for lunch-time sure - but my peace and quiet has been interrupted by the guy next door exercise his angle-grinder. As I said - the journey to inner calm is a long one and I did not add - often intruded on by people sharing their noise

Re: Sleeping too much

Good News! I'm so excited. Son just rang to say he's coming home for Christmas, yippee!! Arriving Christmas eve, gives me more time to clean up too. He won't be bringing his partner, she's off to be with her family up north. I know I'm nor as good company, must try harder to be upbeat or something.
Still excited though, and he's driving himself for the first time

Zipadeedoodah, zipadeay, my oh my it's a wonderful day....
