FabSwingers.com forum: Need a little cheer

Having a bad few days. MH is kicking my arse, I'm zoning out a few minutes and then realising it's hours. ASB has been tormenting me so I haven't slept more than a few hours for a week.

Haven't spoken out loud and the cat keeps looking at me with a 'you haven't talked to me for days'

So I just need for someone to say this happens to them too

Please

It happens to lots of people. It's not just you, don't worry.

I'm still readjusting to living alone and can easily find myself planning all kinds of jobs to do and then doing nothing but binge watching TV because I just can't get started.

Likewise with talking to people. Aside from when working it's easy to not speak to anyone else at all unless I go shopping and avoid the self service till.

I fell asleep on the sofa last night. Woke at 6 and climbed into bed but couldn't sleep so logged on here. Then woke up again to find it was 11am and I needed to be somewhere at 12.

Losing track of time and shit sleep patterns are the bane of my life right now.

So sorry you are struggling. I had similar last year in my old job which was shift based.

Sending big virtual hugs your way. Hope you have someone you can talk to IRL. If not, I'm sure there will be a lovely forumite to give you the positivity you need.

At least you've recognised that OP. MH is real. I hope you do what need to help yourself and let others in.

Awesome username. One of the best.

Absolutely does...

Ever thought of acupuncture?

Tortuous insomnia affected me for far too long in the past, affecting virtually every facet of life... One of the best decisions I've ever made for myself.

Try not to lose that wee grasp of who you are when at your happiest x

I never know if this is a helpful thing to say or not, but "this too shall pass", OP. Don't be hard on yourself.

Talk to the cat. It'll help. My dog is my confidant.

Just thought if council reporting isn't doing anything there is the housing ombudsman or write to the Communities Secretary. Realise it's more form filling and the like but they hold authorities accountable.

Try some Reggae, nothing of the usual stuff like Marley, always put you in a good mood

Sending you so much love OP

Those brain goblins are awful. But just acknowledging it is a huge 1st step, so give yourself a 'yay'

You are absolutely not alone in feeling like that. People who you would least expect, feel this way sometimes too.

I was having a great week, then boom, yesterday made me return to a very dark place I didn’t think was possible.

Sending hugs, healing vibes and hope you can have a self care day in these few days between Equinox & the full moon (that always kick my ass too)

Thanks peeps

I've logged the ASB. It's not a new issue, it's years of it. Reporting already but staff shortages at housing association mean zero communication.

Insomnia ..... I cried myself to sleep and just woke up so that's partly resolved.

The cat has had cwtches and I've chatted with her till she got fed up lol but I've spoken words out loud and feel a little better
