Am Not Coping

[CheerBear]

Sounds like a really good idea @Zoe7. I find it helps to plan nice or look forward to things after big/tricky things.

It's great to see you doing well and taking steps forward with the difficulties you manage. Yay 😊

We need to get my sleep sorted out again properly @CheerBear I can't keep waking up at around 4am - even been taking my meds later in the night but that has it's problems as that is when I become more scared and intrusive thoughts take over. Just needs a bit more tweaking hopefully with the new med introduced only a week ago. I will discuss the way forward with my pdoc tomorrow. I still get thrown by triggers - that happened on Sunday night and I am still quite unsettled - sometimes these things take a few days to get out of my head!

next thursday sounds like a good plan !@zoe7 look at you kicking down walls

[Zoe7]

Not kicking down walls @outlander - more leaning up against them and hoping they move a little!

[CheerBear]

Hearing you with the early mornings @Zoe7. It can make things pretty difficult when sleep is not working so well. Sounds like you have great support with you pdoc and that meds can help which is a big positive. And hearing you with triggers also. I find a big jolty one can have lingering impacts for a while also. Tired and agitated/anxious are usually mine.

What's on for the rest of the day for you?

@outlander 👋💗

[Zoe7]

I am still very tired so not planning on doing anything this afternoon @CheerBear. I need to try not to sleep though as it does nit help me at night despite the meds. I have a little cleaning up I can do which won't take too much energy and might snuggle up with Toby and some veggie soup in front of the tv. 

Do you have any plans? How did the x-ray go?

[CheerBear]

Toby snuggles, soup and TV sound like a great idea @Zoe7 😊 As much as winter has it's down sides, it's so much better to get snuggled up when it's not summer weather I think. I'm a big vegetable soup fan.

X ray was fine thanks. Uncomfortable standing in some of the positions and I wobble lots trying to stand still so they had to take some films a couple of times, but it was ok. I'll see the Chiro on Friday and can start work on it then.

I am in a beanbag cloud at the moment and have picked up my blanket project (the colourful cotton one, not sure if you saw that one) to work on in between saying hi here. It's been a while since I've taken it out and it's nice to get back into it. Kid o'clock in 45 minutes and then it will get a bit busier here. That's all really ☺

[Zoe7]

Don't think I saw that one @CheerBear I will have to go searching to have a look 

Hope the chiro helps you Hon - it is still a case for me that I don't like being touched - that is why hydrotherapy has been so good for me - can work on the issues without anyone having to touch me at all!

It is nice for you to be able to sit back in the bean bag and do your blanket - I will be in relax mode when I can warm up a little bit (have doona wrapped around me atm and Toby hot water bottle snuggled next to me lol)

[CheerBear]

It might be buried a bit @Zoe7 so here it is on my lap at the moment 

Hopefully I'll get some momentum going again and it will grow quickly once more ☺

That makes heaps of sense with the touch and the hydrotherapy. So good that you have something that sounds like it ticks lots of boxes. 

Beanbag clouds rock. So do hot water bottles and doonas! Hope you warm up soon. 

Better head out for a while. Hope your afternoon is good for you 💗

[Zoe7]

I better head off for a while myself @CheerBear - get some soup and warm up on the couch. Thanks for the chat - as always I love my CB time
