I've got a load of shit going on and I need to start another thread on that (I've had a couple recently) bit I can't deal with right now talking about it.

It's come to a head tonight, but will just rant on and on and I need to sleep!

If anyone is up can you just send me a joke/silly pet pic/say something soothing cos otherwise I'm going to go insane and I need to be up at 6.

Maybe a relaxing podcast recommendation?

I don't know, I'm so fucking tense and need to actually relax.

Inhale deeply through your nose for 5 counts, hold for 5, then exhale slowly through your mouth for 5. Do this about 3 times( no more or you will get dizzy). Hopefully it will relax you.

I'm feeling similar things tonight and I've just been to stand outside and look at the stars. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but tonight it's so clear.

Would 5 minutes outside on your doorstep or peering out the window be possible?

My kids’ favourite joke…

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Cows go.
Cows go who?
Cows go MOOOO not who!!!!

Pretend you are 4 and fall about laughing

When my mind feels over full, I visualise packing all my worries up into a metal chest, locking it up and dropping the fuckers in the the middle of an ocean.

Or here is a lovely poem called Up-hill by Christina Rossetti

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.

But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.

Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

Hope you manage to get some sleep OP 🤞🏻

RozHuntleysLeftHand · 04/10/2021 01:07

Omg Tara first time I've laughed all day!
Thank you!

Gothic I will try that thank you, though will try not to get dizzy (though passing out might not be the worst thing right now!)

Oh ftw sorry you're feeling the same shit isn't it? I'm in bed hiding from xp but I can see the stars through the window
The nested That looks fantastic, cheers!

Hi Roz, when I feel a little like you do tonight, I have to write everything down. Literally everything that’s cramming in my brain. It could be what needs doing, what I’m worried about, etc etc, until I can’t think of anything else to write. It helps me calm my mind so I can sleep. Oh and the breathing exercises too.

TaraR2020 · 04/10/2021 01:10

I like desert Island discs when I need something to help occupy my head to sleep Blush

alexdgr8 · 04/10/2021 01:11

note ! the tuning up.

TaraR2020 · 04/10/2021 01:11

Oh I'm glad :)

It'll all work out OK, op Flowers

Say if you want more random stuff thrown your way

NorthernBirdAtHeart · 04/10/2021 01:14

In the meantime, here is my cat, Mittens 😁. This is her favourite position to nap in.
Do you have any pets op?

Anyone awake? Can you just chill me out a bit??
RozHuntleysLeftHand · 04/10/2021 01:16

Mabel cheers I wish I could lock xp in a chest and drop him in the ocean but I'll settle for thoughts instead!

nervous thanks for the lovely poem will save to read more.

This is why I love you

why did the bald man place rabbits on his head ?

because, from a distance, they looked like hares.

this is my brother's favorite joke.
