Re: Sleeping too much

Yeah I'm ok @Faith-and-Hope. Actually feeling a bit messed up but ok if that makes sense. Think I put too much pressure on myself today without a plan and self destructed. I'm also becoming aware of my goal for tomorrow re handing over everything and it's doing my head in. Can't bring myself to get it all together as its spread in hiding places everywhere. I know this is stupid, my GP helped the other day by saying its a bit like food with an eating disorder, it makes sense logically to eat but psychologically it's really difficult. The same with me giving up my security blanket, it makes sense but psychologically doing my head in. Whinge over.

It's gonna be soo worth it @Former-Member ... it's a block to healing .... but you know that already .. ...

I've got all tha ahead of me yet .... gettiing WH to give up The Regimen .... wooh .... !! .... but it can be done .... must be done for true healing .... so worth it ....

Can you do it in baby steps @Former-Member ? Gather bits separately and just do one every hour or so ?

Give a ✅ for each one done ? And give yourself a healrhy xhoice replacement for each one given up ie exchange with yourself .... this for that ....

Big hugs .....
Here all night, on and off, if you want ....

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

Yes you probably will have to deal with this at some stage. I'm also feeling hypocritical as yesterday I started a thread called 'moving forward' when right now I want to run away and go backwards. I actually thought I'd bluffed myself into doing this and now playing mind games with myself. Feeling kind of crazy.

Re: Sleeping too much

It's to be expected @Former-Member ... it's a big step .... nobody is judging you, you know that .... breathe .... you can do this ....

@Appleblossom has been through it, and @Former-Member .... and others who may not have spoken up yet, or we're not on their thread, or they posted before we were here an have moved forward from this point to other points on the healing journey ....

You're amongst friends who are here for you.

Thanks again @Faith-and-Hope.

After I wrote my last response I realised Ive lost control for now. Probably best I try to go and distract for a while until intensity subsides. Thanks for being here. May catch you later depending where my head is at. Have a good night. 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much

Hey @Former-Member, I don't think its a good idea to gather all your 'stuff' tonight. Can you do it in the morning? before your appointment? Your higher self knows how to be pragmatic about this to keep you safe, and yes, moving fwd. Also, even if you can't find it all to hand over tomorrow, maybe take in 1/2 & 1/2 next time. Being accountable is very hard. Because it makes us vulnerable to people who can turn on us & be cruel. But try to trust. If those hidden supplies bought together in the one place become tempting to you - flush them immediately, take in the empty packaging as proof. You deserve to move on to higher ground Teen & we're all cheering you on to make this next step. You Go girl! Make your path straight for tomorrow. When its no longer an option, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Gosh I can ramble, sorry, just wanna help 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much

Thanks @Former-Member,

thinking I'm not so sure about getting it all now, probably a bit risky. You were spot on. I'll try for tomorrow. Have you done this before?

In response to: Sleeping too much

Re: Sleeping too much

Yes, and I was overwhelmingly tempted at the last chance, but didn't & got rid of the option, and it was worth it cause it made me face up to things, get real. Did feel lost, or out on a limb a while but quickly realised I was ok without a premature out. Do tell your psych how hard it is for you Tim rrow, she may have some strategies for you.
Have a coco, watch something calming on DVD perhaps, to distract the mind, and rest up for your big day tomorrow. Here, I tuck you in. Everything is going to be OK
