Thank you all so much ❤❤❤❤

I’m safely back in my hotel room, in my pjs, with some snacks and some water and music in my headphones to try and switch off.

I’m so pleased I went, I really am.
I’m struggling already with the fallout, though. As soon as I left I started shivering and felt nauseous.

Am calmer now I’m in the room. So tired.

Have to pick my 3 year old up after breakfast so back to reality with no time to rest. God forbid his dad actually parents for 24 whole hours 😡
I had him on video call before bed saying “I miss you too much mummy” 😔 which taps right in to my abandonment guilt from when he was born and I was unable to be with him for almost 24 hours. He hasn’t seen his dad in person for 3 months so it’s no wonder. Apparently video calls are enough 🙄

Anyway…….

Thank you. I really mean that. Thank you for your support xxx

I’m so pleased you did it. I hope you manage to get some restful sleep and wind down.

Thank you lovely, am still awake, I'd give anything for a good nights sleep
I feel you, I had a really bad spell of insomnia for months and months a while ago. The only thing that helped in the end was Tesco’s own version of Nytol. It was horrible until then though, it affects so much of your life x

I've tried all sorts tbh, insomnia is awful, I get so frustrated as all I want is to sleep!

I promise you will get over this Maid, and you know that until then there’s a few of us here who do understand how hard it is just now x

I hope everyone managed some sleep. I think I got 3 hours in the end. Insomnia sucks! But at least I’ve managed to get the washing done and hung up before 7am! Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday ♥

I relapsed so bad this week. I was doing so well all May, then I got two job rejections in one day and then my anxiety and depression skyrocketed. It's this endless cycle of anxiety for the future, and then depression when a job application doesn't work out. On a more positive note, I think I'm still in a better mental state than in my last relapse? Gratitude's also definitely helped, along with gardening. They've helped me get out of bed in the morning, which is usually when I feel the worst.

Morning, I think I managed about 3 hours as well, feel like death now! My oh has gone out on his bike, so it's just me and the dog, no plans for today, it's really warm out there!

Morning!

I had the most horrible sleep, I could not fall asleep for hours and then I finally did, had very realistic and traumatising nightmares. Woke up feeling very upset, but I hope the good weather makes me feel better as the day goes by.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday ❤

@Pollyanna263 how are you today, so proud of you for yesterday, I think most of us on here struggle with going out, I'm at that stage where I really can't plan anything, the feeling of dread is so overwhelming.

I hope everything is ok. I’m still waiting on everyone getting up. I’m just enjoying the peace.

Do you have medication to help you sleep? Or do you have a CPN that can help? I hope you get some rest soon xxx
