My Mosaic

Hi @TideisTurning

It’s so lovely to hear from you - thank you so much for tagging me 💜

@Snowie @Bow 💜 I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having such a difficult time with sleep and I really feel for you 💜

In my experience, being unable to sleep has left me feeling incredibly powerless, as despite trying so many different strategies (i.e. improving my sleep hygiene, taking medication, addressing environmental issues) nothing overly changed and any changes that did occur, were short lived which further compounded how desperate and hopeless I felt.

I really love some of your suggestions TideisTurning and I’ve found that things like fairy lights, white noise and of course Tranquil Turtle (Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about him - I love your description 💜) have been helpful for me too 😊

Although I can’t think of any other specific resources and / or strategies to share with you ( I really wish that I could 💜) I’ve noticed that by working through some of the underlying issues that are impacting my sleep I’ve started to notice some small improvements - which has been really encouraging 💜

I hope that the week ahead is kind to you all 💜

Take care,

ShiningStar 💜

Happy for you about your nightmare meds @Bow ! Hope they take an instant effect 💜

The very small dose that my pdoc restarted my nightmare meds didn’t really do much last night @NatureLover

And then I was awake at 4:45… waiting… expecting the nurses to come wake me to do my ECT pre obs. But they didn’t come around until nearly 6am and I didn’t go in until nearly 7am. They were a bit late this morning.

no headache today!

im just on morning tea break from groups. This mornings groups were on addictions. And then the next one is on self compassion and self care. Morning tea is an apple muffin and Nutella cheesecake balls. Someone told me about these cheesecake balls. They are delicious! The food is so good here, so much variety and so fresh.

hope everyone has a good day 💕

Sometimes nurses can undo an okay day so quickly.

Hi @Bow

Sounds like you had a great time with D yesterday. Yes it is hard going back, leaving family behind.

Glad you woke without a headache from ECT. Perhaps your body is getting used to it for now.

Sorry to hear about the nurse hon, sometimes it can quickly turn.

Hoping groups go well for you this afternoon. Sounds like interesting topics.

Take care hon 💕💕

Happy to hear that things are going ok for you @ShiningStar and that you are working through a few things.

Sleep defiantly is something that I need to improve on. Have been trying different things and hopefully things will turn around soon.

Take care xoxo

Sorry about the nurse @Bow some do have “foot and mouth”

Happy the ECT is causing less distress and that you’re enjoying the food. It’s very different in private.

I hope the groups are helpful this arvo.

🩵🤍🖤

When will chat be back up and running????

@Bow I wonder that too. It has been ages since chat has been up.

Yeah. Could really use chat right now
