Sleeping too much

settle down @TAB, I'm just Tawney, have lost all my life stripes (RN, musician, parent, wife, sister...), now I'm nobody with an MI trying to make invisible friends on a far away website that can be taken from me in a flash. I have DID traits (alters/profiles)... let's just leave it at that.. It's too late for this confusing stuff, brain in t too good today, certainly not good enough to put together new profiles, I'm not that good with IT...

I'm really tired @TAB, and have headache and brain stopped, so gonna say good night, thanks for chatting tonight , you and F&H, needed that 🙂

hello @TAB @Former-Member @Former-Member

Hope that you are ok Tab.

Sometimes when we feel like we are stuck in the quagmire a change of scenery, environment can be enough to lift us out.

Give us another picture, focus, distraction so to speak.

I hope that you have some pain relief soon. You probably know all about ice packs, heat packs. I do have to remind my husband when he comes home from work with another part of his body creating havoc. Ice pack first 24 hours then heat pack. There are gel ones at the chemist now which are much safer than those dodgy wheat bags we used to microwave.

gentle walking when pain allows to keep our body moving. Yes Yes he thinks i know that!

Tawney how are you getting on with your goal re weight reduction. Gently gently I hope and remembering to congratulate yourself. Above all do not compare yourself to others creates self-criticism which those of us with symptoms of mental illness have bucket loads of.

Bella thank you for saying hello.

apologies am trying very hard to cut down essay style

hello @Former-Member @TAB

i thought the same tawney and then told myself he doesnt need to hear that from me! snap.

No wonder you need a change of scenery.

I have chronic depression and anxiety. I was picking up your tone, hence mentioned quagmire.

biggest thing I have learnt, it is part of me so acknowledge it, at the same time being kind to myself. Then distract when can.

You are doing exactly that Tab. Please keep us uptodate on your travels and new surroundings.

Hi @Former-Member, you're doing great! Nice to see you. Weight loss - haven't weighed for a while but clothes loose. More because I not eating much I think, moving is my letdown. But kinda gets on the 'low priority' when barely functional.

Birthday neglect has thrown up a lot of inner turmoil for me this last week I think. Feeling unvalidated by pivotal people, smashed in the virtual face by others, just wonder if I can do it anymore (not that anyone even notices). With winter in the air (SAD), recent floods and anniversaries both pulling me in the pit, not sure I'll make it much longer. But hey, thoughts are not facts and feelings change with the wind, so mustn't give up. Lost some precious ground lately, so...

this is my real goal this week - scratch back some ground.

Are you 'functional' ??? Wish I had private health insurance to put myself in hospital right now xox
