Sleeping too much

Hi @Former-Member .... 👋🏽🤗💕

Walking with you @Former-Member ..... ❤️💕

Breathe ....

Its been an intense time for you, both physically and emotionally ....

Youre not alone .... holding you in the light ....

Here is a photo of the rock at the base of the Acropolis where St Paul preached to the Athenians as they walked past (marble path) with votive offerings to Athena ....

Not selfish at all @Former-Member ... just calling for your needs to be met .... gotta overwrite that Inner Critic of yours .... hard when you're staying with so many outer critics .... ❣

Yeah .... laid up with the flu here .... 🤒😷😔😴:face_with_rolling_eyes:😏👍🏼

Hi @Appleblossom .... 👋🏽🤗💕 .... I see you there .... ❣

@Former-Member I can feel your sense of being alone.

You have so many things going on with parents, loss of your daughter, bros and sis .. etc

Wish I had cheery thoughts for you but I am feeling very depleted, so its great we have @Faith-and-Hope's gorgeous photos of wonderful places.

Thanks to you both, though .. for just being yourselves.. and sharing a bit with me.

My son is on the phone at the moment and he sounds nice, chatty positive gracious .. but I am feeling jittery and a no-hoper.

Time to do some music.

For some reason I am resisting on looking at my ZOO emails. I think I am really frightened at starting something new after all my failures to fit in. Jumping through hoops endlessly .. if I had not tried so hard it might not matter. I say its my turn to set standards ... but I cant really get into that ... its just a reaction to all the judgements piled on to me .. directly or indirectly .. sorry having a whinge ..dont want to keep upping my meds.

@Former-Member I forgot if you take any meds for MH ..

It's good to have you back @Appleblossom .... ❤️🌸💕🤗

I hope you pick up again soon .... yes .... time for music ....

Is that zoo as in animals ?

😘💋 .... @Former-Member

Yes @Faith-and-Hope the reel deel.

I went through an intake process to volunteer at a zoo, at the same time as everything else was unravelling during October through to Christmas. It was rigorous. I still have to get one document and buy some clothes to to use as shorts/pants and join up .. which will cost about $7 per month. My psych thought it was a bit rich charging us for volunteer work, but they also supply a lot of uniform, thorough training and it has a good reputation. I guess it will be the final commitment for me .. and a shift in emphasis from being in arts/music ... but I should get my oven put in before ..

it could be good and a change .. but now i have had so many more kicks in the gut over the last few months, I feel I am regressing to my mute teenage persona .. dont want to practise singing for my audition as I have to open my mouth .. and it always seems the wrong thing comes out ... lost me mojo ...no sense of claiming my territory .. even tho paradoxically I am saying the words .. just worn out .. dont have the feeling of my rights.

@Former-Member Have just been reading about all the invasion day marches .. your family may be mad on celebrating but there were tens 1000s protestors .. maybe you can hook into the legitmacy of their sense of grief too .. Not sure ..
