Hope the appointment goes ok CCL, and the delivery. With the headache maybe upping your hydration would help?

Definitely a trait I’ve had my whole life Speky, although I was only officially diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder about 4 or 5 years ago. I had some serious, heavy duty CBT at the time and was loads better. But the recent flare up in my personal life has sent my worries spiralling. Doctor has put me back into the medication I used to take. It’s low dose and usually just helps get the worry to a manageable level - but takes a while to start working.
New fridge has arrived - the floor was a state underneath the old one but I cleaned it before they came. Bestie has been here all day keeping me company, which was just what I needed today.

So glad you've seen the doctor and he's prescribed something that will help. ((hugs))

Don't know if you've ever tried Lavender Essential Oil? Rub some on your temples when you go to bed.. it's a relaxant and helps you sleep better. Worth a try if you wake up feeling a bit more human because you've had a better sleep. XX

Glad you've been given something which your familiar with and you know works. It's now about trying to take some time to yourself and the kids till it takes hold.

Hey! :coffee: :hello:
I'm a little bit worse for wear today. Went out with a couple of work friends last night, and although I only had 4 drinks I am suffering a bit now. I never sleep well when I've been drinking, and don't feel rested at all. Still, it was a nice night and a good catch up.
Took the kids out shopping for a couple of hours at dd's request. I was starting to fret that she hadn't left the house for a couple of days so I gave her the choice. I should have known she would choose trailing around some massive shopping centre. But it was nice to get out with the kids, even if I am almost dead on my feet now. Also got some ideas for Christmas presents etc so it was a useful trip.
Today's worry is that the littlest cat hasn't been home at all. She's a hungry thing so is always about and always looking for food. It's very strange for her not to be here. DD seems to think I'm worrying about nothing though - but I keep going out and shouting for her. Hope she comes home soon

Hope the wee cat is back really soon.

Fingers and paws crossed here for the safe return of little cat.

Morning all :hello: :coffee:
Good news is that she did come home Beanie - but she's obviously had a bit of an experience wherever she's been because she wouldn't eat and was quite nervous. Even slept in bed with me last night, and when I let her out this morning she didn't want to go - I left the door open for her and she wandered out but came back in quickly. Poor little thing.
I had a fair night of sleep last night. I was in bed and asleep not long after 10 last night. Woke up at 4am for over an hour, but managed to get back to sleep again until 7. Then remembered it's bin day so I got up and put the bins out. I've also washed the dishes and put a load of washing in - and I may be tired but at least my hangover is gone.
I can't believe it's already day 4 of the hols. I'm nowhere near ready for that! I haven't done any of the masses of work I brought home (it's still sitting in the car) and have no plans to today. I'm seeing bestie and we're taking the boys swimming - dd doesn't want to come but may come over to bestie's house after the swimming session. I still need to have a shower and get ready and we're going out in an hour :rotfl: We'll have a coffee and a chat while the boys do the inflatable stuff at swimming and will probably grab lunch later as well.
My mind is still all over the place but I feel better within myself than I did at the beginning of the week. Still have about a million things swirling round in there but I am at least able to put things to one side at the moment, and am starting to make lists of things that I can do versus things I can't. So I feel as though I might be getting somewhere - you have to take the good days while you can.
