Re: Sleeping too much

Yes, it is good to get out of the house, my Saturday work is hard (physically) but really gives me something to look fwd to, well, some days I'd rather sleep, but it makes me get up and weekends gave always been so lonely otherwise. Its good only having one offsider Saturdays. I have vague ptst re PAST bullying in the workplace, but when its one on one - ' they ' cant ganging up on me or whisper behind my back. OK, that sounds a bit paranoid but at the same time - it happens, a lot. Its not all in ones head ("how i chose to think about it), and sure, part of coming to terms with hyper vigilance, blackdog perceptions and interpretations, low self-esteem, and surrounded by abusive, manipulative control freaks... well, the waters get very murky. The shop during the week has triple the staff and they buddy up leaving me out (its always that way) but 1:1 we have to get on and I like it.

Still, i have some trouble filtering whats past, whats blackdog and whats really happening outside my inner world filters (re anxiety, depression, bpd, ptsd), better to start tossing out these labels sometimes, just be me / us. What do ya think @NotLabelDefined ? Anyway, Sat works well for me (helping a friend out) re short shift and spine degeneration etc, and the 1:1. My dpt manager (boss) was my offsider today, made me stay on the ball, she showed me more skills, stepped up my security status, answered a buildup of questions i had and she gave me more responsibility - a sign of trust and acceptance I guess. Pretty good feeling. And I love customer service, casual light chitchat and helping, all sorts, getting my confidence back.People talking to me - its amazing lol

@shaz,51, can't believe your Dr prescribed wrong antibiotics (re kidneys), just as well pharmacist was on the ball as they don't usually know sll a person's history. Its a delicate balance. I really tji k you need to consider scaling back work commitments, semi retire maybe, for health reasons. Or be extra proactive with stress management. But you'll know when the times right. xox

Hmm, need a ♨, anyone e else want one? Might try herbal tea tomorrow @Former-Member, use to drink it a lot. Have peppermint and Jasmine tea in pantry xox

Re: Sleeping too much

hello @Former-Member

It is great that you love customer service work. That is the key ingredient to being good at the job.

Sounds like you are a natural and dont need to worry about others. you can see the feedback in the smiles of your customers. your confidence will come back. be proud not everyone has the gift.

isolation not good that is what i did for 6 months and it just feeds depression.

walking, is best for me.

Re: Sleeping too much

Sorry you feel you have been ostracised re work. It doesn't really sound like thats the case? People might say stuff and people hav their own issues, things can get better at least on a functional level tho. Decided it has happened can be a horrible thing. Just do it for you maybe? @Former-Member yes have been there, esp in my mind re not fitting in, just smile and do your job, you may be surprised how people's perceived behaviour changes. Sometimes at work the people I get on worst with end up being friends..still , you're on the ground there, so it it's up to you how you feel about it. Is it volunteering? Do you like being there or do you just need to talk things through maybe?

Re: Sleeping too much

OK @Shaz51, I do have a green tea, Cummings up ♨ Actually, just realise I have a white tea - my estranged sister actually sent me a birthday card this year and stapled a white teabag in it - last of the big spenders lol. Do ya think she trod on and trod on it first, and laced it with poison just to make sure? lol Not taking the chance, she sure has been horrible thus last few years. Never know with my family. Ah, stick to my very safe green tea. Oh, the reason I actually bought up White Tea was to tell you it is said to contain x10 more antioxidants than green tea. Enjoy xox

Re: Sleeping too much

Yeah @Former-Member. I did have to give up my studies for now. Its not helping me getting out of my 4 walls. I think a big part of me died when I had to give it up. I'll get back to it. Just not sure when. Sleep well tonight after your big day 💜🤗
