I had a really up and down night @Snowie - started feeling unwell again about 8pm last night so tried to sleep. Up a couple of times with nightmares and pain but doing ok so far this morning - mainly just tired. I did resist taking extra meds so that is a bonus
How was your night - did you have any sleep?
@Faith-and-Hope morning Hon - hope today is an easy one for you despite having to pack again

Good morning @Zoe7 @Snowie ......
Well, I sat down on Chair Island with my iPad 8 hours ago .... Liked a bunch of notifications, answered one, then woke up four hours later and crawled off to Bed Island .....
I am sorry you had an up and down night @Zoe7. Thanks for the well-wishes for the packing. I will stay clear of Chair Island and wander in and out of forum as I pack .....
Expecting D1 before work this morning fo coffee, and S1 dropped his brother home last night, letting Wolfie out of his yard for me, so I didn’t have to manage the rocket-dog either.
I hope you both have a restful day.
💚🦋💜❄️💕

I can see that today won't be too restful for you @Faith-and-Hope but I hope you find moments where you can relax a little
I am doing ok so far this morning - no it wasn't a great night but doing better now than I was even an hour ago - I'm taking that as a huge win
My only plan for today is to get to the chemist for my weekly meds and maybe sort out another box in the spare room - if I can manage both of those two things then I will have accomplished something today!
Enjoy your coffee with D1 Hon (that rhymes lol)

Hi @Former-Member The biggest change for me is defintiely I am getting more sleep. The nights are not nearly as bad as they used to be - I still have those times of fear and anxiety but there has been no further 'contact' (or hang-ups) for several weeks so I am more settled now than I was. It is always still in the back of my mind but not consuming me every minute of every day - let's hope that continues.
I am still having nightmares more nights than not but the flashbacks when I try to sleep have lessened. I definitely am much more negative when I am tired and haven't slept but am averaging 5-6 hours a night on most nights and that is helping me to feel more settled during the day. I know there is still a long way to go - I still think about ending all this when I am very low - but there is a difference between feeling that low and just really flat - knowing the difference and trying to work through those times is still difficult.

A lifetime of feeling there is no way out, being continuously knocked down, just 'getting by' or repeated trauma all lead to one feeling like there is no point @Former-Member - feeling a bit that way this afternoon I'll get through it - just one of those afternoons!
