Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member. My concern here is sleep apnea. If you sleep at the drop of a hat during daylight, it's possible you stop breathing at night during sleep. Have you ever been tested for apnea? Perhaps a word with your Dr about apnea might help settle your mind on that score. Often new medication/s take time to adjust to, if that is the case, I suggest you talk to your G.P anyway. Take care of yourself TAWNEY.

Re: Sleeping too much
hello @Former-Member
I have just read everything that you did in one day for others and I am exhausted taking it all in.
I have slowed down so much since my last heavy bout of depression that I think I have become a sloth.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi everyone ... 😊💕
@TAB .... just putting my 2c worth in here ....
I found it hard to come to terms with the response styles of some of the people on the forums at first .... thinking "wow !! That's bound to be rubbing salt into a wound ... !" .... but then I quickly realised that it's just a different sort of acknowledgement that the wound exists .... and if it hurts, it hurts .... and sometimes the greates salve you can offer is to be quite blunt with a "wow ... that really sucks !!" type response.
And yeah ... Part of it is becoming familiar with everyone's response styles .... and then something that might have appears a bit abrasive becomes familiar and endearing instead. It's the heart-intent that matters most.

Hi @PeppiPatty
Writing takes a lot of effort - if you have writte 3 pages I can estimate that over time you have written 300 pages - or more - that you have rewritten, compressed, altered or put aside to add later
Keep up the good work - you have had a lot to deal with in the past and like you said - it took you about a year to work out what you wanted to write
I have a lot of sheets of a novel I started to write years ago - I lost track of all of what I was trying to write - so long ago now - I couldn't seem to find an ending - like that piano joke about "I know this tune has an finish somewhere but I can't seem to find it"
It's a lot of work - a lot of research - and great that you have three pages - I bet there is a lot more than that around
Dec

Hi everyone 😊💕
@pip, good pickup, I had sleep studies December, the technition said theres a deprea of SA (not severe) that I do need to talk to my Dr about after seeing him. I've put it off so I can legally make this trip as the diagnosis will restrict my licence. I fall asleep through the day when I lay down for a kip when I try post here and keep falling g asleep. I've overdone it as living on my own has far less troubling interactions, jobs, concerns etc. Not use to it, plus its hot and the trip down I pushed too hard. Past nursing shift work taught me how to do that, but I'm older.
@TAB thanks for being my protective forum big bro, i understand Dec, shes ok. Hey, was thinking of you today when i checked my car oil (kept forgetting to before), it was just over 1/2 so put 500ml in. To make a funnel I cut a plastic drink bottle in half.
My aunt is another 3hrs Sth (her hubby died) so I'm debating visiting her to take flowers before heading back. Not sure if I'm up to that. I'm feeling washed out. Bro3 was here crying g about MH and the CTO injections due this week. He's so unhappy and arguementative and moody and unwell... drains you
Gotta go get tea, mums still not well

@ pip, good pickup, I had sleep studies December, the technition said theres a degree of SA (not severe) i need to talk to my Dr about after seeing him. I've put it off so I can legally make this trip as the diagnosis will restrict my licence. I fall asleep through the day when I lay down for a kip then try to post here etc, and late at night.. I've overdone it as living on my own has far less troubling interactions / concerns / things to do etc. Not use to it, plus its hot, and the trip down I pushed too hard (adrenalin).

Bro3 was here crying about MH and the CTO injections due this week. He's so unhappy and arguementative and moody and unwell... its so draining & I feel helpless. Mum asked me to watch out for my two baby brothers when she dies (the two big boys in their 50s, with paranoid psychosis, CTO, always broke, abusive and on pott / prescription meds. She started sobbi g talking about it. Its all a bit overwhelming for me.
Cooked tea, mums still not well
