Re: Sleeping too much
12pm today i made it to kyb ladies luncheon with my plate of food (graoes & mixed nuts). This was VERY hard because it was a much bigger crowd than i thought & christian ladies from the church i went before who i felt abandoned by when my girl died, they knew her &; I did music for them for years but they stayed away &; I haven't been able to face them since. Even today they acted like nothings happened. One woman, stranger, got friently in my face about... everything..., really fast... oh overload... i was having mini panics and couldn't hear half of what she was saying, and wanting to faint. Got away, had to drink cold water a lot, and get away alone, do mindfulness to calm myself. I was doing it automatically throughout the time when i felt overwhelmed just sitting. Like being in lions den but maybe its all just in my head. I get so obcessed what people think, the slightest glance and 'they hate me' or 'they're gossiping about me' oh here's a good one, they're laughing about me' ... hate these thoughts, it hurts, cant stop them. But, the talk was good. At one point, resisting the urge to get up and run out crying, I did the 'Strength in Vulnerability' thing, on the inside - realised how terribly broken i am as a person amidst so many wonderful strong country women. I was brave enough to sit with that a moment, among them, with God in my corner, just being still, its not right or wrong, just is. Think i covered my internal world OK, & somehow managed to stay to the end. Bought a CD of the guest singer songwriter + some cards. I use to sing a lot, better voice, miss the me I was. Oops, more tears. (I can't keep living like this).
When i got home late, i found another penalty fine in the mail - for doing 60 in a 50 zone I knew nothing about ($114). Made me cry (where's all this $ gonna come from? on top of the other transit lane wrong turn ($325) so over it, expensive trip for everyone else, think they saw me coming - haven't had a fine for 10 yrs so its a shock and frightens me because I try so hard to be perfect on the roads. Trying to stop the tears But its not holding boohoo, Oh no, now I'm sobbing and don't know why. Need a cuppa xox" I can't keep doing this.

I said: "Zoe7, not good company, really sad tonight, big day I guess. Faced lots of people that hurt me today, just tired, but nice to see you.
ZOE7 said: "I'm so sorry to hear that you've had a tough day and are really sad tonight. Look after yourself - you don't deserve to be hurt - you so special and so giving - and you deserve only happiness in your life.

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member You have had an extremely BIG day! You have not only done a lot physically but have been emotionally through the wringer. Putting yourself in such a vulnerable setting shows so much courage and strength - you may not be able to see this right now but that took pure guts! You confronted people that have hurt you and in doing so also confronted your fears - and you did get through it! You did stay, you did listen and you did achieve a lot today.
Of course you are crying - you have held your emotions in and now it is time to release them. This is a good thing. Drink your cuppa, cry and as you are doing both feel the parts of your body that are letting go of the pain. Don't dwell on your thoughts just concentrate on your lips on the cup and the tears rolling down your face. Be in that moment and push the rest of the day aside for now.
You are brave, you are strong and you are wonderful xxx
Thinking of you
Zoe
