Re: Sleeping too much
Oh @Former-Member, wish I had some helpful advise for u to feel more 'in control' but really can only recommed daily Mimdful Meditation like 'Body Scan' and lots of Self Care. Take lots of little 'me' breaks through the day. Do you journal? - What helped me a lot is at the end of the day - draw 3columns and list all todays
- concerns
- achieved (however small)
- plans for tomorrow
Close the book

Re: Sleeping too much
Definitely 'not label anything' @Former-Member, like it! Just be you, one day at a tume. I'm considering having a 'break' from therapy now. And the sprinkle cupcakes, yum! but how do you have parsley in them? - haven't heard that before.
Good job @TAB re Lawn, I'm impressed! #ribs and all. Youre like superman 🙂 My lawn needs doing again badly out front. Not gonna happen today, re back after work this morning, jyst took something and resting this arvo with heat pack, catch up on some sleep, watch a movie. Do you have any different plans this weekend?
After work today I had lunch at a local Cafe who had in some Rock&Roll dancers (bit like upbeat ballroom dancing if you ask me) but quite a treat in this small country town, watching these amazing couples jive away.
Oh, the vest news, you know how I don't get TV reception, DVD broke and just managing PC saved movies on laptop screen for movies. Well, a lightbulb moment (I checked with my 'IT degree' son) - I put those movies on 32GB USB, plugged it into the flat screen TV and tada! big screen 🙂 until I figure out how to save other dvds (or buy a new DVD play), this is pretty good. My Bro3 put 30 new release movies on the laptop to watch. We really do see more on the big screen.
Oh, and another win - $22 on B'day lotto ticket today. Better than zilch 🙂
Hi @Former-Member, glad you've come back. Hi @Owlunar, @Former-Member, @Faith-and&hope, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, hugz everyone, thinking of ya.

Re: Sleeping too much
Love your wins today @Former-Member, I'm glad today has been pretty good with some great entertainment. I'm ok today, feeling a bit human and hoping to maintain it for a bit....well at least today. I hope tomorrow is ok for you too
Hiya @TABby cat. Think you've been well in the wars. I hope this week is a bit better for you
@Former-Member. Good to see you but sorry things are still just crazy for you. I have a feeling I'll be changing or losing labels soon. The funny thing is I felt like I needed one for ages. Now I just want to be better and don't care what it is I need to be better from. I've been awol from the forum a lot since you last posted. I'm so glad you stick your head in from time to time.
@Former-Member It's lovely to see you back. I'm sorry I haven't read but how are things going for you?
@Former-Member I hope you are going ok. I think you were caught up in the storms. I hope it's all ok now.
Thinking of you all 🤗💜

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi guys @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @TAB...I like the journal idea. I did have it on shopping list but it was forgotten. Doh.
Lil man fell asleep early, ahh a bit of quiet.
Amazing how one down makes it quieter.
It'd be nice of he sleeps through! 😱😊.. not sure on that one however.
Yes Teej I felt I needed a label, but it came to the day and my prior appointment with psychologist said I was doing well. I wonder on the days I fall upset but don't we all.
I have an appointed with psychologist coming up. I'm glad to be going as much as my partners thought in back of my mind...of course they listen to you, it's what their paid for. 😏
I somehow feel a degree means more than that. So I've been accepting or accepting to let go of all people's narrow views I can't deal with. Literally switch off or try walking away when possible. I've worked out if I get to sleep of a decent hour, I'm much better. One night off kilter these days throws me.
I think I've come to some clarity on other matters. I just don't have time for it. Maybe having a slight cold has slowed me down or changing diet..I'm not sure. All I know is I just don't care as much anymore!
Good to hear from you all.
@Former-Member..good to hear things ok with your son's.
@Former-Member hope everything is ok with disasters going on?

Re: Sleeping too much
It sounds like that you've come to a comfortable place with your mental health as far as boxing it up @Former-Member. I think that I tend to go with my therapist ideas these days too. She won't box me up but helps me work out the parts I need help with. The last psychiatrist visit I had with the old psychiatrist he told me that I didn't present depressed that day so I was ok 😮😳. Most people that knew me shook their head. It's ok but it made me wonder about his degree. You know I think with everyone if they help and you value their knowledge and understanding of you then it's really worth going......regardless of anyone else's thoughts. I know your life circumstances are still pretty messy and full on with the ex and sometimes family stuff. I hope you continue to keep finding you in all this. You deserve a break with it all. Keep being you 🤗💜

Re: Sleeping too much
This as a pic I took at the local milkbar / cafe here today, never seen anything like it (accept on tv - Happy Days, Grease). They were having so much fun.
Meanwhile, out the front of my place the loca JWs were out doing their door knock - something ya don't see every day.
Just had to share these things with someone else 😁

Re: Sleeping too much
Yes @Former-Member s journal 📓 idea sounds good
Yes, sure there is more to psychs than partner seems to think. If something's broke why not try to fix it?.. one night throws you out sounds a bit of a fine line.. well you know you best, and are the one doing all the juggling sounds

Re: Sleeping too much
Thank you @Former-Member, yes I do find it helpful. Thanks for validating this. I somehow talked a little to myself that I was a burden also to this poor lady and that's been my life problem. But I also know this is not true to degrees. I think it takes a willingness to really go and be outside your comfort zone. I think alot of people that don't believe in counseling do not do this. When I feel overwhelmed like the other day I was triggered from partner because of ex, it became very hard to stay calm and not be so upset. I even rang the school back but couldn't get my words out as I was crying. The principal wasn't available, and they had tried to call back. On the day I was too upset to even bother with it. I was put in a position that I now know, I'll never let happen again. It's amazing how trauma can be set off so easily, when we think it's all gone.
Oh @Former-Member...the parsley I blended in nutri ninja with some water to turn it to liquid. I initially wanted the green effect of matcha cupcakes I'd seen but I figured any greens I can sneak into the feral three is good! 😁.. it worked. I got a thumbs up on them. Err hmm not always the case in this house!!!
