Not feeling the world today still, barely made it out of bed this morning. Feeling absolutely exhausted, drained and washed out. Still haven’t had the energy to do any house work, just about made a bowl of cereal but that’s about it. Could sleep for an eternity.

Someone was trying to open my front door at 0445hrs; that got me moving!! And Snicket who was NOT AT ALL happy, bless him, but doing his 'job', all 6kgs of him, very well 🤣🥰. It was actually just my paper being delivered 🙄 as the delivery/supplier was changing they obviously come a lot earlier. Need to remember to close my living room door on Thursday, Sat and Sun (delivery days) in future 🫠😊.

I can't remember where I've posted it/to edit it, but I made a comment about our lovely Bluebell a few days ago with a reference to empathy.
I apologise: it wasn't actually directed to any particular individual (despite appearances) but most importantly, it was not exactly what she said. It is not for me to speak of how Bluebell thinks, or doesn't think, nor why she left the forum; I don't think she would want me to. I will let her know when we're in touch later this week; I pass on anyone's good wishes to Bluebell too.

Today I am telling myself it is okay to worry, as long as I don't get carried away, not losing myself in it.
Life is hard, being a chronic, housebound, there are uncertainties, self-doubt, so it is not weird to worry. It is part of who I am.
I am a worrier, but also more than that. Life is hard on so many people, and apparently 'We live in an epidemic of anxiety.' I am guessing there is nothing wrong with me :)

I cannot 'power nap', if I fall asleep in the day It's guaranteed to last between 2 and 4 hours, if I set an alarm on my 'phone, I guarantee I will not hear it. If I wake up and my dogs are staring at me that's what then gets me up straightaway.

Thanks for your support and kind words, @Catherine21 Yeah, telling myself not to worry is only adding fuel to fire. But often it is difficult not to go down that road of self-blame, isn't it?
Wow, Karl Jung - sounds interesting indeed.
I am currently reading a few pages a day of Tara Brach's Radical Compassion which is definitely about being human and all our so-called flaws (those can turn out to be our strengths actually, but that is another book by a different author).For me it is mostly the feeling of responsibility, but not much considering what I myself need. I am learning to change that, but it is far from easy as indeed we live in a demanding society. Not much room for people who are ill. Makes me sad.

I will tell her and thank you Catherine. My dogs, minus a fair few teeth between them, would have anyone's 'guts for garters' (not heard that for years ha ha) if anyone got in here, especially Snicket, he thinks he's 50kgs and 5ft tall 🥰🤣. He deserves his name (brave little soldier ha ha). This is him at his bravest 😉🥺 and the black and white one would have their nose ha ha. xx
Edit: the blanket's just a 'cover' 🤣😂.

Sounds awfully familiar, especially the guilt. Sometimes it even activates my flight-fright system when I don't know how to get it out of my head.
Today's self compassing was this guided meditation, it changed my perspective from 'I am stupid' to something entirely different. Thankfully. May appear easy, but it is not.
And then something else came up and now I am back to being sad and shaky, feeling unworthy. What did I ever deserve for life to become such a nightmare?
What do you do for self-compassion, Catherine? Or anyone else here?

I did not go out today.. it is getting harder to go out so I missed my two hour session.. I never stay the entire two hours ... I hope tomorrow will get the courage to go out for another volunteering two hours as well .I hope you are all ok..so far… good afternoon, evening and night.. and sleep tight. And try not to get a cold ...

Sorry you didn't make it out today @Schildpad. Tomorrow is a new day so see how you feel. Where do you volunteer?
Too late for me, I already have a cold!
