Yeah I'm watching a DVD and playing some card games on my laptop. Repetitive patterns are soothing for me and I can play Solitaire for hours and hours without getting bored. Consider having a snack but tbh I think I'm just bored mentally and am convinced I did well with food today (three meals, a big snack, smoothie and also chocolate at some point) but maybe I can have another smoothie? Any other drink we have in is caffeinated :P
Gotta love a good research!
My fav is still to Google procrastination as a form of procrastination.
I get you.
I hate when people give me tipps that I legit can't do.
“Don't be in bed unless you're sleeping“ - duh, should I just stand on the two and a half square centimeters in m room that aren't taken up by my bed!?!
“don't sleep during the day“ - Fair enough, I just don't sleep at all
“Get up at the same time every day“ - Did a four months internship that required me to get up early in 2010 and all that happened was that I didn't sleep more than four hours a night.
I think the only thing that ever legit helped with my sleep where muscle relaxants (sp?).
I consider having more chocolate muesli just because I can and because it's nice.
so true! I once went 4 days without sleep because I was trying not to nap in the day and it just resulted in no sleep whatsoever. quetiapine helped my sleep until I OD'd on it and now it has little effect.
we are a sorry pair.
It's almost like ODs come with some sort of negative aftermath!
I get you in the simply not sleeping at all department. These days I've sort of accepted that when things are dire I just need to sleep when I can.
I used to be able to cope with sleep deprivation a lot better until a few years ago. It made me constantly hypomaniac and I could do just about anything. I also didn't look like a corpse after a single sleepless night. I remember my therapist being uber surprised when I told her I hadn't slept the previous night so I wouldn't oversleep.
I still haven't moved out of bed to get the smoothie or muesli or anything.
But I shall now as I need to pee anyway (the frequency of my wees recently makes me think I probably have some sort of bladder infection going on just ceeb for that I'm gonna ignore it until it goes away).
Have had my muesli and smoothie and feel better for it.
So maybe I was hungry and couldn't tell.
Yeah, sleep wise I could take a lot aged 16 to 25 and now getting seven instead of eight hours ruins me.
I was once told by someone that unless you pee blood and need antibiotics the meds you get for that problem just make you pee a lot to flush out the bacteria. So basically drinking loads of water has the same effect.. And that was someone being trained to work with meds.
I moved already- snuggled up now :) though I should have made two as my feet are proper frozen now I think of it- they're so cold I havent been able to feel them for several hours.
Ah glad you feel better.
Well I meant don't outright ignore it, be vigilant for signs its worsening and drink more etc.
If it persists I shall see my GP. I rarely drink non caffeinated drinks so increasing shouldn't be too hard :P
I'm so exhausted that all my mental defenses are coming down and the thoughts are flooding in and I just want to cry again.
I should be asleep but obsessing over stuff keeps me up.
I can't stand this I need this cold to go away this is the last thing I needed why....My ****ing dad is such a bloody jerk he never listens to me, I have no money and I can't walk all the way to uni; it's about 40 minutes away and I don;t feel strong enough, but I'll have to do it anyway..
Lana, it's good to drink a lot of water yes, and try to have less acidic stuff(i.e. coffee and the like, as obviously that can make the urine pH more acidic). I get UTIs more frequently than I should(they seem to appear when I'm most stressed :/); the meds I always take are sodium citrate which alleviates symptoms like pain/burning by making the urine pH less acidic.
I hope everyone got sleep last night and *throws glitter* that everyone's doing alright xx
A great thing happened: my lecture was cancelled. I remembered I had an email from my media lecturer last week, decided to check it before I left and it said the lecture today was cancelled!! I still have to get to uni though as I have an appointment with my support worker. And still on the bright side, the sun is shining here in Cardiff(this morning it was awful but it just got so much better; never trust Welsh weather XD).
Thanks. The sunlight seemed lovely when I was inside, but as soon as I stepped outside, the glare destroyed me!
My advice for hangovers: good food(fatty if possible), and a lot of water. I hope you'll feel better soon. xx
That sounds delicious! This actually reminds me I've got sweet potato at home, so I might attempt to make sweet potato fries(thanks!!) as I'm probably going to be stuck at home tonight because of my cold.
Stressed, but getting there. I need a good catching up day, i'm thinking one night over the weekend I will go get some food shopping, a load of things that are simple and snacky, and some energy drinks, and shut myself somewhere and try and get as much done as possible.
How about you?
Have you tried planning things out? Like structuring all the stuff you have to catch up on, and divide it into a few batches over the week? Though a whole day for catching up sounds good too. :)
I'm alright-ish. I have a cold that won't leave me alone and doesn't let me concentrate :/ Which sucks because I have a lot to read for uni. I really want to get back on my feet by Halloween/Samhain as it's a really important holiday for me..
Weather is weird, was so grey and miserable here with 'sea mist' :S
Watt hope you recovered from your hangover and you meal sounds lovely, as above planning a day out can really help.
Lucy sorry to hear you still have a cold- look after yourself.
Im essay writing but atm its the biggest load of garbage ever. I write weirdly though so its pants until after the 1st edit but it makes me feel .
But I have showered after my no good very bad dreadful day.
