Hey Jacques
I hope you get a sleep this afternoon. Listen to your body and rest when you can.
I sometimes wonder if I have chronic fatigue syndrome. It's just not normal to feel this tired all the time.
Sorry I tend to dissociate its a way to cope with the dark stuff.

Sorry My angel, i read your post, but was washing the car, so i could not stop.
I didn't manage a sleep but i am so exhausted, i was exhaused in the first 10 min, i only mowed 5-6 strips of lawn and i felt so drained, but i forced myself to push on, i am paying for it now, sneezing, ichy eyes and aching wrist.
Karen it is funny you should mention chronic fatigue syndrome, my mother only said at lunch time that she thinks i suffer from the illness too, i sleep so much but am always tired, it could be the medication, but sometimes i wonder.
Karen Maybe it is our bodies way of telling us to slow down, or it is a way for the brain to cope with the daily trauma, i know the more i push myself the more Lethargic i become.
My angel, please don't be sorry i disassociate too, quite alot i hate to say, i think this is another coping mechanism for our brains.
Please be kind to yourself, remember you are not alone with this, i have the same thoguhts, the same feelings, the same emotions.
You are a great friend, i would so like to hug you and tell you everything will be alright, remember it is just the illness.
Be safe my angel, i hope this afternoon is kind to you.
your friend
Jacques

Wow Jacques what an awesome effort today. I bet you are aching everywhere. Maybe a long hot bath to ease the aches and pains.
I agree the more I try and do the more exhausted and overwhelmed I feel. I don't understand what is happening to me. But the longer this goes on the worse I feel.
The anti depression medication is an SNRI it's the fifth different sort of anti depression med I've tried. I'm also on an anti psychotic med, then there is the prn and then night meds to help with sleep. I feel like a walking pharmacy.
The trauma certainly causes me to dissociate when things become too much.
I suppose the body would be exhausted trying to fight itself with all the symptoms all the time.
My mind races.
Maybe a treat for you tonight J a block of you favorite chocolate, for a wonderful effort today. I bet the garden looks great, nothing like freshly cut grass. Except if you have hay fever:-)

Oh yes, i had a nice hot shower, it felt amazing.
I am so tired i could drop off right now, i am trying not to though otherwise i will get panic attacks.
Yes me too Karen, i used to only sleep 1 afternoon per week, now i sleep every afternoon, i am getting worse, but i stuggle to fight the urge to sleep.
Yes i agree my body having so much adrenaline running through it all the time and the other physical symptoms of anxiety, i can uderstand my body being worn out, everything races.
Yes my mind is all over the place, racing thoughts, good and bad. fears and terrors, the only way i can describe my brain is like a huricane, that is the best description i can give, everything running 100Mph
Oh yes the garden looks good, i am worried about the infestation of Aphids on the new shrubs, i sprayed them this morning, so i hope it works.
My angel make sure you use destraction techniques if things get too much.
