Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

Morning @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @outlander @BlueBay and all

I really hope you had restful sleep overnight. It's so important. I had a good long weekend sleep wise, though I still wake up tired.

ps can someone tell me what gn1 is?

Re: Am Not Coping

Morning @frog ... 👋💕

Good to hear you are achieving more sleep.  It takes a while to feel better when you’re dealing with a sleep debt.

 

GN1= Goal No.1 = surviving  

(Thanks for asking for an explanation.  For those here who struggle with si, sometimes the acronym is all they can manage to type, but it makes a big difference to affirm that that is the only thing they need to focus on overnight)

Morning @Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Maggie @frog and all who pass through here this morning Smiley Happy

Had another bad night - really tired this morning but I am going to try to stay awake all day and see if that helps tonight. It will be a tricky night anyway with DBT, pdoc and physio all tomorrow - expect tomorrow night will be hard as well. I just need to get through the next couple of days - reset and take it from there.

I hope everone has a little light in their day... Smiley Very Happy

@Snowie waiting with you Hon - hope the stuckness is unstuck today for you Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @Zoe7

I'm sorry to read you didn't sleep well last night. It must be difficult when you're in pain. The next couple of days sound busy so try to make sure you can rest up when you can. 

Thinking of you my friend ❤️

Re: Am Not Coping

Thanks BB - I have my physio appointment straight after I see my pdoc so it is going to be a stressful afternoon. I have to expect to be in more pain intially but if it helps longer term then that is something I need to persevere with @BlueBay. I am concerned about the appointment but it is will a female physiotherapist so that is a little less stressful form me.

Re: Am Not Coping

Hugs n hugs @Zoe7 for sucky sleepless nights ..... hope staying awake helps with your sleep tonight Hon. 

Do you have any planned activities for today ?

The way I work with bowls to prepare food, I use trays too, to do beading, mending, sketching, mini- puzzles etc, or just reading a book or magazine (haven’t managed well with books for a while now .... brain doesn’t seem to want to focus ....

Re: Am Not Coping

I'll be thinking of you @Zoe7

take it easy my beautiful friend

ps. It is now pouring with rain. So much rain. Haven't had this much rain for ages !!!

Re: Am Not Coping

@BlueBay I still have a lot to clean up from the flooding a few weeks ago - hope the rain doesn't damage anything for you Heart

@Faith-and-Hope I really need to clean my house a little - especially vacuum Smiley Sad I will have my pain meds later when I am a little more awake and see if I can do it when they kick in. Trying right now to both fight through the pain and stay awake. If I can get through the next couple of hours without sleeping then I should be able to make it through the rest of the day. 

Do you have any plans for today?

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope @BlueBay I have put a load of washing on - one thing done for today Smiley Very Happy
