Onwards and Upwards - the cvq/ns support and hot chocolate thread

[Habbibu]

Since we've nearly tipped the last one over the 1000 posts mark, here's the new thread for cvq and for her friends to help this lovely lady to keep on getting better.

I know you're scared to sleep, but I do hope that you drift off a bit, and that it's sweet and dreamless.

You there, sweetie? I've read the thread now. Missed talking to you while I was away. I know you think you can be a burden, but you're lovely and so utterly likeable. I thought about you a lot.

Just popping in for a couple of mins before I go to bed.

Sorry about your dream CvQ. Perhaps you could just sit and read for a while or watch some daft tv to keep your mind occupied?

scared and worried it will carry on if i sleep.god i so wish my mum was hereshe would sort me out.i dont like being on my own.i feel lonely and vunerable at the minute.dam my head

Oh phew - glad you're here. OK, let's not think about sleep just now. Can you get some other stuff into your head to act as a "top level"? - just superficial stuff to get your head busy - something on tv? radio? Am a bit crap at this sort of thing sometimes, so am apologising in advance, but I'd like to be here for you, if that's ok.

Habbibu - that was a nice thing to say

What would your mum do if she was there?

oh lovey, so sad for you that you had another bad dream - please wrap yourself up in your purple fluffy blanket.

Tomorrow, please promise me, you will get some rescue remedy for just such times as this, and you will try and find an EFT practitioner so that these dreams can be stopped.

I know your head is full and it seems like such a lot to contend with, but if you can take that step towards ridding yourself of some of the PTSD load, then you will be able to sleep safely and THEN you will start to be able to cope better and feel better on a more regular basis - and you will lose the fear that the bad dreams will be waiting for you because they'll be GONE.

in the meantime, am here for a while if you are still around... (((((((hugs)))))))

If she would give you lots of hugs and say it will be ok, then I am sending those hugs for you

(((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))))
(((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))))) )

It will be ok CvQ.

Much love to you CvQ and maybe we can catch up tomorrow.

you sleep tight.thankyou xxx

Hello - I can promise I won't have "had enough" of you - I may get sleepy, but that's all. What would you like to do? Do you want to talk about it a bit (I know it's hard on an open forum), or just talk in general, and see where that takes us. It is terribly unfair - especially after a "normal" evening it's very cruel for this to happen - take you more by surprise, if you see what I mean.

i dont know that heres the right place to offload this dreami dont want to cause waves.but of me somehow.i do need toget it out of me somehow but ill work that out somehow

tell me about your week maybe?

god that made no sense did it.sorry im unsettled

No, it did make sense. Try typing what you want to say into a Word doc just now while we talk - if things come up while you type that you want to talk about here, then that's what we'll do.

My week was a bit uneventful! DH is away on a boys holiday, so dd and I went to my mum & dad's for the week - they're about 250 miles south of us. And then we both got colds - dd coped much better than me! - so we sat around not doing much. But dd got to play with her cousins, which was fun.

am here as well - listening to "DH" chucking his guts up downstairs - he's been out on a works do (their "christmas do" - they had it early to beat the rush or something ) and promised he wouldn't get steaming drunk; so of course he is absolutely bladdered and can't even make it up the stairs (good thing, he'd best not try and talk to me!)
I'm sure he's developing alco tendencies...

i dont know what i should an souldnt say.im all muddled now

do you have some truly engrossing book you can read to try and redirect your subconscious brain? Something really light and innocuous and preferably really funny as well - even though you might not in the slightest feel like laughing, humour will leaven your spirits

that doesnt sound like a good night.he will regret that tomorrow

OK - do you think you can just jot things into Word for now? Whatever comes into your head. At least then it's getting it a bit out of your head, and then you might be able to see a bit more clearly. And just report back to say hi or get us to talk crap at you.

sweetheart, this is your thread - say what you like.

yes, he will regret it tomorrow - gonna make daaaamn sure he does!

Ooh - actually - some comedy on the BBC iplayer may lift your spirits a little, if you don't have anything to read.
