Re: Sleeping too much
Morning @TAB, i understand, really do, lived it myself 'tis so difficult, especially getting older - but this time round - its probably for the best really - you had a bad feeling before going anyway, but you stuck your neck out, you gave it a go, your best, put your whole self out there and didn't give up. That's amazing, and so brave, in my book - well done! Now to Brush their dust off your feet and move on, have a 'chill' day or two, a rest, take a mineral detox baths, take a walk. Watch a movie (Tom Cruz last est movie is good), read a book. Ya did good. Big hugz xox

Re: Sleeping too much
Ok home now that was an hour re walk ✅😀
Um . Funny how little things don't seem to count after more than 3 days work seems. No thoughts of 'someone might see me' etc when walking/choice of route. Today I really didn't care . Hope someone knew would see me, as I walked, looking, talking to crows, dogs, smiling, grumbling aloud was aloud tho lol. Just wish in a small way I felt like that all the time. That is my pay off from work. What a funny relationship I have with me ..😀 @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope see u there😸

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member @TAB
Still feeling a bit.dozy .... have set my alarm so I get up in time for a short walk and coffee if I fall back asleep .... have organised some one to become over and help me with cleaning today .... totally overwhelmed with the state of this house, and even if it takes weeks to get a lot of the clutter sorted and put away, without even starting on the huge, never-ending sort-job under that (sound familiar @Former-Member ?) at least we can have clean floors, bathrooms and some kitchen bench tops.
Fridge and freezer need going through. D3 cleaning up her room has flooded the laundry with sheets, towels, clothes, many of which she has long outgrown .... the school dramas of the last few years have caused a backwash of sorting and dumping to do .... aargh ... !! Trying not to think about it and lean on help for motivation .... getting someone else here to help means something will get done at least, and it will help put a good boot under the kids .... can't even walk in S2's room. No visible floor !

Re: Sleeping too much
Sounds good to me @TAB, and ya almost inspired me to do it (go to a walk) yikes!
Our 'relationship with ourself' is a new concept for me - but made me smile to hear you were chatting to yaself and the the cows etc Sounds like you're relieved a bit too. Taking it all in ya stride, motivating me - you & the others here.

Re: Sleeping too much
I used to do the 'no visible floor' at stages after leaving home. Think I unconsciously felt more secure like that, later, better answer is Depression.. I am not tidy still but if things start to pile up now, I see that as a bad sign, and declutter to a level I am comfortable with 😳😸✅😂

Re: Sleeping too much
I know S2 is struggling with situational depression @TAB .... which is one reason I can't actually do anything to help him with his room .... he won't let me .... and with all the control issues in WH, many of them directed at S2 like visiting his own dysfunctional relationship with his dad into his son .... it's tough.
Land at least he can choose to leave his room a pig-sty in defiance .... and WH can't make him clean it up ....
But S2 doesn't want to walk away from him either ... it's a good cop / bad cop thing .... and sometimes they sit there playing board games or laughing through family movies ..... and I know S2 is savouring the good times and hoping WH will get well again.
We all are.
The mess is symptomatic, but I have to try to keep a baseline anyway.
