Thank you for these words. They've helped me a bit just now ❤️

Re: hello to anyone whos still up and unable to sleep/checking in with forum friends

Hello. Im new to the forum and was just checking it out. I struggle with anxiety and depression myself and often denial and distraction are the only ways to go that allow me to function. Health issues recently have torpedoed denying things and with the coronavirus lock down and restrictions many emotional doors that I wanted to stay closed have been torn open.

Hi @LostAngel 

Thank you for your post. I doubt anything nice will happen to me today but I appreciate the sentiment. I am struggling to sleep so I have gotten up to write a letter to my psychologist. We ended up in a bit of a tight spot on Thursday so I am hoping to sort it out. I hope things go well for you today also. How are things with special somebody? I hope that things are working out. 

 

Best wishes,

Meggle

Thank you … your words made me cry but I think that’s what is needed right now .
I hope you have a wonderful day too ❤️

Yes, insomnia not a healthy condition. Sometimes I lie awake till 3.30am restless, twisting and turning, mind racing.  Thankfully I don't have to get up early in morning for work at airport due to stand-down.

Just passing to say hi @Owen45 @LostAngel @Sky5 @Gigi4 @Friday .

Re: hello to anyone whos still up and unable to sleep/checking in with forum friends

I was awake till 3am this morning, insomnia is terrible. Thank goodness I don't have to work airport shifts at present, I would be exhausted.
