Re: Sleeping too much

I live my life with start agains @TAB I've been the same as always. Lots of downs and a few ok days sprinkled. Just trying to plod along for now and not get so caught up in my head. That will take some work. Good luck with the job. Hopefully it will work out ok. 💜🤗

Ditto. Had a stage couple years ago when had a big 'not again' moment @Former-Member . Sometimes it can be about accepting how things are

hello @Owlunar

I did not know that @Tawney felt so badly that she needed to get off-site - wow me too @Owlunar, hope she comes back soon

Re: Sleeping too much

Hi @Shaz51

Tawney has been feeling pretty low for quite a while - she and I have tagged each other for weeks and life has thrown us similar curved balls - so I think we understand each other

But the people in her life have not helped at all - whatever the reason - I think she is very shy and very hurt - and more has happened than she has ever written here - it's like I can see around the edges or something - but we have both lost a child in their teens and have dysfunctional families of origin and a toxic sister each - and we live alone - and that last one can be really tough

It can be hard living in the suburban wilderness - I live in Melbourne - where the suburban sprawl spreads so far you can get lost on a google map - and she lives in a small town where I think everyone would know each other. Of course I don't know any more than I have told you and she has posted all of this in the forums so I feel okay about sharing it - in fact I am glad I can share it - here on the thread she started - and let her know and other people know how badly I feel that she seems to have left - and how much I care - and I know other people care

One thing - here I am careful not to get involved with a post from a new person that is too much for me - and there are a lot of things I just don't know enough to comment on - but I often read that people struggle with whatever I find easy to deal with - just letting things go if they are too much

We should all feel we have that choice

So I think I have about 10 people I care a lot about - you being one of them - and I tend to write long messages so it is important to me to keep to what I can manage

And Tawney is another of them - and I am so sad she left - esp when I was taking time out myself -

I just hope she comes back

Hi @TAB

I am waiting until the cat dies before I buy a new couch - I will get those weapons of claws trimmed next week though

And the screen door - wow - I know the Ministry of Housing will pay to get the door rewired but it's only two years ago since they did that

But for now the cat has settled down - thankfully - but she can still be a little terror at times

Love the cat though

Re: Sleeping too much

Screens are very cheap to replace if you know someone to do it @Owlunar I took one in somewhere ok 20 plus years ago but they charged me $5 and fitted it

Re: Sleeping too much

I agree @Owlunar xx

I hope @tawney comes back soon ,

don`t feel bad @Owlunar, my friend , we all care for her too

Tawney has soo much going on , and she was away too , when she got back she was upset then

So I think I have about 10 people I care a lot about - you being one of them - and I tend to write long messages so it is important to me to keep to what I can manage,, aww thank you @Owlunar, I care a lot about you too my friend

I love getting your messages xx

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Shaz51 - I don't feel so bad -

And I love the long personal messages too - they are real

And @TAB

The screen door - not a big problem as winter is coming - but when the holes are big enough for flies and mozzies - not good

But the couch - it is second hand - and I can think and think about a new set of furniture for my lounge for ever if I like - but I can also keep the cat's claws clipped - it is not much fun for her to scratch when her claws are little round smooth ends - not scimitars the way they are right now

I love the little demon - that's the main problem
