Well, I've sleep through half the day today, but I felt like I needed the sleep so I don't mind. I hope you are all engaging in whatever self-care you need to cope. Sunday is often a good day to catch up on self-care for people who work Mon - Fri. But of course, so is every other day. ;) Well, let us know how your day is going so far and what, if any, plans you have for self-care today?

There was no have to, it's that i wanted to. I created a resource for my Christian Union using aluminium composite panels and nail polish. They look amazing. I get to spray paint them with clear today to protect them and then they're done :)

I'm really tired and I'm not feeling up to going to work! ! I've been having a lot of nightmares and some disturbing dreams which has me thinking about stuff and feeling more paranoid! I'm also not feeling good and I don't know what's wrong with me!... Today is going to be a long day for me, so I'm hoping I'll be able to get at least some stressful rest before making my way to work!

@live2die1 I feel for you, L2D1. Sometimes it's difficult to leave nightmares behind even after daylight. You're not alone and don't be afraid to reach out for support here whenever you need to -- that's what we're here for. ⛺

Blanket fort kind of day after a difficult night (getting triggered right before bedtime makes it hard for one to settle into a proper sleep afterwards, especially when nightmares and racing thoughts descend upon you when you finally do pass out). Panic, mental exhaustion, and struggling with the basics seem to be the trend for a number of us today. Trying my best to hold the inner critic at bay and do what I can to feel safe and show myself compassion while these feelings that I'm having pass by. ⛺

I took time yesterday and Friday for self care, but today I have a lot of homework I need to do. I'm seriously not motivated at all either. I just wanna curl up under my comforter with Netflix and call it a day. But I have a paper to write, a rough draft to edit and submit the final copy of, and two quizzes, and I really need to get to work on all the Spanish stuff that's due tomorrow, but I'm just...

I haven't been sleeping right at all. 3 to 5 hours ato a time. I keep waking up with headaches and just plain exhausted. This cycle is going to make me sick.
