My Week From Hell

[Carnation]

I find dreams are a mixture of what you've been watching on the TV, someone you've seen or been thinking about, something from the past and your thoughts just before you fall asleep. That's why I try to think of Tom Cruise

Now that's made me titter ...I had another night with me resident warthog last night ...Tom Cruise he definitely ain't

[JHR]

Better night last night sleep wise...anxiety still quite high but I think the coping techniques are working
Hope everyone else has a reasonably peaceful day

It's always a good start to the day when you've had a good night's sleep. Pleased to hear the coping techniques are working JHR.

Well another sorting day ...New bed coming in the week so I've sorted all the old bedding and towels out, yet again hoarding at play, took the redundant stuff to an animal rescue centre apparently they're crying out for stuff they can use as animal bedding. My anxiety is always better when I'm busy but it never ever goes away completely . Had a routine breast screening appointment come through this morning. Hadn't a few eyecrolls from OH again due to my recent concerns about my boobies he thinks it's great news.....me not so enthused hexreally does think I border on insanity
Hope everyone else has a reasonably peaceful day

Same here. Busy - focused. Relaxing - dying.

I think the breast screening will definitely put your mind at rest. x

Better night last night still woke for the loo but I didn't wake in panic and got back off relatively quickly
Still got what me dear old Mum called "the colleywobbles" in my tummy but I'm sitting here practicing me breathing.
This anxiety is so clever my fears have now moved from my moles to my breasts


again, now,I wonder if this routine letter might have something to do with that no wonder OH rolls his eyes.
Hope everyone else has a reasonably peaceful day

I had the colly wobbles in my tummy yesterday JHR. Horrible feeling.

[JHR]

Well I can't believe it woke once for the loo and then didn't wake again till 9.30am that's unheard of. Had a cleaning morning so feel accomplished. I'm also feeling very proud of myself for requesting that Auntie's Social Worker puts me on the vulnerable list for caring for Aunty on a regular basis. I told her politely that I'm aware Social Services would like to put me on the back up list for looking after her when she comes home, which they've agreed to, but after just under two decades of caring for my own parents my mental health has takes a severe hit resulting in PTSD anxiety. She totally agreed, this is thanks to my old counsellor who carefully worded the email for me. Still left feeling a tad guilty but I know my counsellor is right in what she says it really isn't a viable way forward.
Hope everyone else has a reasonably peaceful day

This is something that has been playing on your mind for some time. So it's good it's got sorted. One less thing to worry about x
