How is your day going?

That doesn't sound very fair @Marydoll5,I'd tell them that you've got too much on your plate at the moment and advise them to make their own arrangements.

I wouldn't put it quite like that though.

I bet they didn't post it on their site @Lou67

How's the fog @Teigr quite dull here today 

Teigr

It's lifted a bit now @Sandy_123,not before it ruined my hair though.

I look like Crystal Tipps.

Sandy_123

I'm not a fan of the fog especially at night time 

Lou67

@Teigr
Hahaha I had to google to see who that was lol 

@Sandy_123
Oh I’m sure they didn’t lol

We once flew home from holiday in thick fog,it was so bad I had no idea we'd landed.

We were trundling along the runway at Gatwick and I thought we were still up in the clouds.

Sandy_123

Oh no no not flying in it, last time I flew home was thunder storms, but forecast in Wales, so thought was ok, until the plane decided to fly over Wales to brum eek 

Dannibell

Feeling exhausted with very little appetite 😥 I hope everyone is feeling okay today? Does anyone have any advice to help with sleep at all I’ve tried my usual of listening to music or pacing but not working this time 😥😢

Sandy_123

Hi @Dannibell sorry you can't sleep. If nothing is working might be worth seeing your gp as specially as you little appetite too. 

Marydoll5

Thanks guys for the advice. I'm waiting on being contacted by social services for a carers assessment to be done. There is a backlog so I have to be patient! Our local government systems have collapsed in Northern Ireland. 

I'll let you know when I get assessed. 

I really appreciate all your advice 

Sandy_123

Hopefully it's soon @Marydoll5 my sisters are off to Dublin on Monday everyone seems to be going off my end lol

Marydoll5

@Dannibell have you tried listening to meditation for sleep? Sometimes it helps me to nod off

Hopefully things start improving now that Stormont actually exists again. We can only hope!

@Dannibell
Sorry you’re struggling to sleep and don’t have an appetite, you maybe need to get some blood tests done just incase your irons low or something else.
Would you try Nytol until you can speak to your gp.
They are herbal and can buy over the counter.
Take care I hope things improve for you.  

@Marydoll5
Oh hope you’re not waiting much longer. 

Dannibell

Lou67 thank you for your suggestion’s I’ll try the Nytol hopefully that’ll help, the appetite and sleep problems are unfortunately a ongoing problem I’ve had for year’s a symptom of my mental health, though it seems a bit worse recently as before I could at least sleep with music or after pacing until I was tired I’m waiting on a appointment with my dr but until then I thought I’d see if anyone had suggestions that could at least help me with sleep, thank you again for your suggestion I’m going to try it ❤️

Dannibell

Marydoll5 I’ve tried listening to music as it usually helps would meditation be similar? I’ve never tried it though heard of it but I thought it wouldn’t work for me as my mind is active to the point that it’s hard for me to calm it or clear it as I’ve heard you should for meditation?

Evening @ada

Marydoll5

@Dannibell a simple meditation concentrates on breathing and relaxing muscles starting with your feet  and going up to your head and there's soothing muscles. There's loads free on apps. I put earbuds in and end up waking up way after it's over. My mind wanders too. Give it a go and see what you think 😊

Marydoll5

Soothing music even 😆

Sandy_123

I'm alright @ada how are you
