Standard Northguy Ramble
Well sleep is a little wonky again. Some stress dreams, and woke up way too early. Feeling on edge. Not really sure why. Nothing's gone terrible, my waking moments have been unusually good (for me) usually at least the last couple days. I'm starting to fear that not feeling as worried in the day is somehow pushing the fear into my sleep. I dunno. Oh well, I suppose not really anything else to do but plod along. Hope everyone's having a good day.
Sorry to hear that the sleep's still difficult, hope that will improve. Glad that your awake time hasn't been too bad though. Keep on plodding along, you'll get there (not sure where 'there' is but it'd better be good lol :-P ) Take care mate
@Davii haha, “there” is a magical place where life is calm, I am smiling, and birds and passersby occasionally join me in spontaneous musical numbers.
Uh, that is what happiness is like right? I’m a little unclear…
Im sorry about the Dream! Hopefully they get better!
@RachelShows Thank you kindly, I appreciate the good wish.
I often have dreams that leave me feeling on edge. Last night I had a dream that my dad died of colon cancer. I don't know why I dreamt of such a horrible thing, but when I woke up this morning I was feeling a little panicked. So what I do is I lay in bed for 15-30 minutes and I reflect on what I just saw, or what is going on in my life at that point. Sometimes we feel anxiety about our life only because our minds don't really have a grasp on it--we get so buy we don't always give ourselves enough time to digest it... To understand one's existence is important.
@MagiaMoonlight sounds like a good plan you’ve got there. Sorry you had such a rough dream there.
I don’t really remember what last night’s dream was. It’s a little unusual, normally my more unpleasant dreams are just painfully blunt. Back in elementary school? Feeling behind in life. Stuck at the boring grandparents’ house? Feeling confined. This last week has been less obvious though.
hmm well it's back to another blah day. it was nice having a few days off from that earlier last week though, hopefully this isn't the norm again. Not too anxious, I mean its definitely there, I'm a little too on edge and my body is constantly tense, but its not dominating my attention, its just sort of always there lurking. A bit depressed again too. But oh well. I will manage. Just sort of shrugging and waiting is one of the things I'm best at. Perhaps cat time tomorrow at the animal shelter will help.
@Northguy shame about the return to the blahness… How did you sleep last night (although given the time difference you may have only just gone to bed lol, what time zone are you?) Hope the new day starts off better and that you have a good time with the cats. I now have altogether too much cat time, cheeky fecker keeps waking me up…
