@QuietMagic
Hey Quiet 🤗
I would love a hug right now!
I'm honestly running on fumes.
And I need sleep but have a hectic few days ahead of me, so don't know when that'll happen and I feel myself during the day, running low on energy and getting upset and frustrated over the smallest things.
It's intense right now and sometimes I feel as if nothing I do is enough and theres just more to be done 💛
@Amanda84
Hey, passing along hugs 🫂 That sounds pretty intense. That's the worst when you can see all of the conditions and it's like "yeah, I'm getting more upset than usual because I'm sleep-deprived and running on fumes"--but you're still kind of powerless to get more sleep or reduce the busyness because things need to get done. I guess you can give yourself some grace knowing that whatever's happening isn't inherently you and is just being put into a really stressful situation. 💜 I'm sure you're doing a great job under the circumstances. (If for some reason things do crash and you stop being able to do things or have to rest, can view that as recovery for the next wave/burst of activity.)
@QuietMagic
Thank you for always being a safe space for me 💛
@QuietMagic
🐇 How has your week been?…. Overall it was well & I got various things accomplished... But my sleep was not the greatest. And I’m feeling it.
🐣 What are you doing to take care of yourself lately?…. This week I had to make time where I could in my schedule to squeeze in lots of naps, in order to catch up on the rest that I didn’t quite get this week... I’m just ready for the weekend to be here~
@PoliteOcean
Hi, glad you had a good week overall and were able to get some things done. And sounds like you added some naps where possible to compensate for sleep not being amazing. Hoping you're able to catch up more fully on sleep soon 💜 (I'm trying to work on that myself)
@QuietMagic
Thanks 🙂..
Sleep is so very important! It can be challenging some days, but I hope you’re able to get some in as well!
This week has been busy and emotional. My emotions have been running high to being sad to feeling annoyed. I have tried to remain calm but got annoyed at a loved one because I got frustrated. Time also feels like it is going really fast so you don't feel like you are getting anything done either.
To take care of myself I have been in nature and had moments of silence.
@Harmony8682
That sounds pretty stressful having feelings all over the place and feeling like things aren't being completed as quickly as you'd like. That's nice having the ability to retreat into calm/silence when needed though. How are things with the loved one after that frustration? 💜
Thanks for your message🙂
Yes things are better with the loved one as we had a conversation about it the next day when we were both a bit calmer and I explained how I was feeling at the time. I think that helped them understand why I was feeling that way in that moment and the loved one mentioned they were annoyed and calling me out in that moment as they wanted to help me. So talking about it helped.
@Harmony8682
That's great, I'm glad that conversation was able to happen 💜
