ppl with power are often the least respectful, inner power comes from innerbeauty, integrity and courage, which you shine with :)

Hi wide awakers,

Late evening everybody. Hoot hoot.

hey owls

my sleep has been awful and unbearably broken up. night terrors plus unable to get to sleep for hours, then poor sleep. Awful.
Anyone having better luck?

thinking of u all and wishing u a peaceful night

Just watching some super early morning The Good Doctor.

Exposure therapy for intimacy for Autistic people...

Evening All!

Our night has come in dark, as it should. Dogs abed, wife nearly so.

Mypc fan spins away quietly.

Sitting in front of fire with a bad headache and unable to sleep

Morning ya crazy Harpbird frog! Im sad about ur headache, that sux. Have ya tried the ice pack on back of neck or between shoulder blades?

or the laying down on floor on back, with a small book under head to facilitate spine comfort?

glhf, dng.

Thanks D&G , I can’t do ice packs, I am a crazy cold frog, lol i do use heat packs and they help while they are around my neck. I have stenosis and that’s what causes the migraines. Due for in cervical injection tomorrow so hopefully that will get rid of them again.

hi harpbird, sorry u had a rough night

hi dng

enjoying ur profile pics.. what is this one? it's cute.

Hi sleepy, hope your doing ok.
I am good now that migraine has gone, but wide awake not sure when I will end up in bed

hi harpbird

same here, very anxious and destabilised.

i'm quarantining waiting for test results

I just had a nice hot shower , can hopefully get tired lol

not much on tv so cooking shows it is

we’re not in lock down here YET . Looking forward to my first vaccination in two weeks

sounds good harp bird

hoping u can stay safe and won't have to lockdown

weve been in lockdown in victoria for nearly two weeks, depending on case numbers tomorrow, we are meant to be "freed" tomorrow at 11:59pm

It's been open, a bit boring, and a little bit cold. Ive got a sniffly nose although feeling a bit better, tryign to stay warm but in the mornings I wake up freezing. Stay safe harpbird and all nightowls

Evening all, how are you? Hope you are well. Apologises for the fact I have been M.I.A as of late.

I baked some bread yesterday without a bread maker. What have you all been up to?
PF

I wonder why I am tired all day but at bedtime when I need to sleep I am wide awake.

can anyone relate.?

That’s it , trying to stay safe and be out and about with so many medical appointments, but everyone has been wearing masks and I over do the sanitizer. Other than that I do prefer to stay home.
I got the sniffles and so much sneezing, but I know mine is sinus, happens this time every year when the pine trees are pollinating , everything gets covered in a yellow coating, so hard on the sinuses

Oh I relate big time. I've noticed that no matter how I felt during the whole day, around about 8pm I start feeling a bit nicer and a lot more awake. 8pm onwards I am a better person, lol.

I put it down to discovering as an adolescent that whilst everyone else is asleep the world is a much quieter and safer place.

Hi PF what type of breag, did it have seeds or grains in it.? Was it tasty.

DnG when I was a child I went to then do my driveway and with my neighbour , we looked across to the valley and thought those people sleep while we are awake. Those people were in next syburb!! That was my understanding of time zones!!

It was really great thank you Quirky.
It was like a sour dough. How are you going today?

And the clock has struck past midnight, the Owls flutter away to the noise.

Hoot toot.

What's your favourite piece of software I ask random people?

Hi, I hope everyone is well. I'm really struggling right now and I'm in a very bad place. I had a medical test today and there's more bad news. I'm not sure how much more I can take.

I was hoping that maybe if I talked to someone it might help but I have no one so I'm reaching out here, no pressure though. I know that others are struggling as well so I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

I'm outside in the freezing cold as I just want to feel numb and safe. I think it's about 1degree. I will try to stay out here as long as I can. I hope you all have a great nights sleep.

Regards,

Emo.

Hi Sophie_M,

You are always so kind and supportive. I don't deserve your concern. You shouldn't bother with me.

I just keep sitting here and staring at the road and thinking maybe I should make everyone happy and just do it. The last person who truly cared about me is gone. Maybe I'm just speeding up what will happen to me anyway if I stay where I live? I just don't want to be hurt anymore.

Regards,

Emo.

Hey Emo,

It’s good to hear from you.

I’m sorry you’ve had some bad news.

Thanks for reaching out - I hope it helps to be able to talk about what you’re feeling.

I often struggle to get words out.

Your posts are always very kind and thoughtful to others.

I hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Take care,

Hi Emo. I would be happier if you told me about your days. Does Emo have an open thread somewhere I wonder... I go looking for you/ it my friend. Till then I am here and reading/listening to u.

Do you consider yourself an "emo"? I am very fond of the emo band "the Cure" whom I saw at concert a very long time ago. They Rock!

love dng.

Hi Lillylane,

I'm so sorry for my late reply but I've been going through a lot so I've been trying to focus on just keeping going.

My medical issues have gotten worse so I'm trying to sort them out while in lockdown. I hope you are going OK with the current situation.

I appreciate your support and concern, thank you.

Regards,

Emo.

Hi quirky, you had been asking about magnesium.,
I've been taking a nightly supplement which has valerian and magnesium, and licorice root

It doesnt do much, but sometimes its a little soothing. It's my favourite natural remedy i've sampled thus far

Hi Sleepy21,

Thank you for your kind words. I am really trying to help myself to keep going. I know that you have been going through a hard time yourself but I hope things are getting better for you. Sending you my best wishes for a nice relaxing weekend.

Regards,

Emo.
