    Finished my giant vent 🙃
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    @Redemption My local football team is actually inviting new people to join, so i was thinking of trying out football myself. They do it at 8-9pm, so when my younger brother is in bed, which is ideal for me. I was thinking about trying it out to keep myself occupied with my time and to start to socialise more and get better at it, but it's gonna be more so baby steps then leaps and bounds i imagine when it comes to making friends and stuff.
    And i get what you mean with not wanting to go. Drinking sessions aren't everybody's cup of tea, especially after a long game of football. Only do what your comfortable with when it comes to them.

    @DonnerKebab cool, maybe try it out bro maybe. Yh baby steps are important. Yh I'm leaving it. Anyway going sleep now but we'll talk again tomorrow, earlier too so maybe we could talk longer, msybe in the morning if you want, you sleep well.

    I didn't get much sleep @Redemption
    Was up till 1:30am coz I couldnt sleep. Had a nap till 2:30am but then had to take my mum A&E at 3am and didbt get back till 4:15am. That just did it for me i couldn't sleep after that. Had about another hour or so before waking up for the day.
    Just been back to the hospital as well

    @Lottie5433 big hugs if you're confortable with that. I hope your mum is OK too ❤️. All sounds so overwhelming for you.

    @Lottie5433 glad she's OK, hope surgery goes well too. Understandable to be overwhelmed. Hope everything is fine with you bf too.

    Thank you @Redemption
    Everything is somewhat okay with him, ive made him worried so now keeps checking in with me like every hour or so to make sure ive not dont anything stupid or that id regret.
    The surgery should go okay, shes just got to wait on another scan and that will decide if she has it today or as an elective

    Im sorry to hear your overwhelmed, is there anything you want to get off your chest to maybe reduce the overwhelming feeling. Evening can be a hard time, but ill be here if you need anything.

    Im okay just running off 3hrs sleep, 2 energy drinks and caffeine tablets
  • eylaheylah Posts: 7,347 Master Poster
    ive had a monster so maybe thats not helping rn but just missing my mum. tbh evenings are harder bc of memories etc but im just hoping for my brain to slow down and then hopefully 🤞🏼 i fall asleep. thankyou <3

    Maybe the monster isn't helping with the rest part. Hopefully your brain can slow down enough that you can fall asleep.
    I get that with how evenings bring up memories, im not sure if it would help but could you replay memories of maybe how your mum helped you get to sleep. As I know your missing her so it might just remind you she isn't gone but still in your heart and memories.
    Wishing you a restful night

    @eylah Monster definitely is going to keep you awake. Caffeine lasts about 5 hours from it, so it'll make it harder to fall asleep for about 5 hours, but if you time it 5 hours before bed, it will make it doable and easier without having to cut it out.

    I'm so sorry about how your feeling about your mom. It must be really difficult for you right now. Heartbreak from grief is one of the hardest things out there. I wish i could offer some advice, but i'm clueless about it. I think lottie might be right about talking a bit about your memories of her if your comfortable. And, maybe it might be worth looking at sleeping tablets, if your struggling come evenings.

    And can i just say, we are all proud of you Eylah. So many others would have crumbled, or fallen apart in grief, but here you are, still encouraging people, still supporting people, still a kind person. Never forget that. Have a good night eylah, you deserve it.

    is there anything that helps when youre unable to sleep and having negative thoughts? i know for me listening to rain sounds helps a lot. of course i care abt you so much and you are deserving of being cared abt and deserve to feel supported too. <3
