It’s happening


[Sh...]

Recommended Posts

I just came back to tell you all, I am so much better than even a month ago. I averaged 28 hrs sleep one week there. That’s more than I’ve had in a very long time. Over 2 years probably. I thought of writing a success story but not yet. Im getting there tho.

 

My heart isn’t palpitating much now. I have runs of it, but it isn’t constant. I put this down to cardio excercise. Getting my heart rate up around 130 bpm. I’ve been running or getting on the bike/elliptical and doing a lot of weights. Even after zero or really low sleep nights I still go. It hurts more but I do every rep.

 

My eye damage is still there but even that seems like it’s improving. Yesterday after a very rough night I had to drown it with eye drops so it didn’t feel like it had sand in it. But most days it’s fine. Always looks a bit sore tho.

 

I’ve been taking melatonin and 1/2 a unisom as a bit of support. I got to a point where I thought I need to take some help and I think it’s helped a lot. I’ll eventually stop the unisom in the next month and keep the melatonin .

 

I feel more and more normal every week. I’m almost a year off.

 

Staying away from negativity has helped too. I don’t use any social media and don’t watch the news. I get up, go to gym, go to work and look after my family, go to the Beach and read. That’s it.

 

I hope all my buddies here are doing better. Taking time to focus on myself has definitely helped. I love u guys and send u healing ❤️‍🩹

Shayna -

 

So good to hear from you.  Glad you are healing and getting some sleep.  YAY!

 

I just came back too, just the other day.  I have thought about you, so it’s so good to see your post.  Glad you are working on “you” and focusing on your family and the positive.  I can relate to tuning out the negative and that includes the news and social media.  I don’t hardly ever watch the news either and I don’t spend too much time on social media either (it’s just a lot of the same….) there are too many good books that need to be read on my shelves.  I just started a new series myself  :thumbsup:

 

Keep keeping on, you are an inspiration to us all  :smitten:

Great to hear Shanya.  Something that I did that has helped me is to write a letter to myself when I am feeling good.  When I dip back into a wave, I pull out the letter to keep me positive to pull me through.  This was recommended to me and it helped as a wave after a good long window can feel like a punch in the stomach.  I am so happy that you are doing better and reconnecting with a stronger self.

ThNks everyone x so sweet of u all.

 

That’s a great idea newbie. I have days where I honestly think, I’m done it’s over now. They are the days I need to write that letter. Yesterday was a hard day but I honestly don’t even think about not having slept I’m so busy. Well yesterday I didn’t realize I hadn’t given it a second thought until I was getting ready for bed again. So it’s nice that it’s just not in my head all day coz I know I’ll get thru it and tomorrow will be better x

    OMGooooodnesssss.  Shay!!!  I am so happy for you.  I was thinking about you a few days ago,

    But I figured you were giving yourself and the family much needed love. Thanks for checking in.

    I don’t post much lately. I’m 15 months out and still juggling these weird O symptoms.  However some days I do get a tiny window.  I went to the beach for a short walk, was great. Ok my Aussie

  Adopted friend. Hang tuff.  Kudos 2  :-*

Well she’s been better since I lost it at her one day and quit. Then I called her the next morning and told her I’d be back if she promised to calm the eff down. She did for a while but today she had a crack at me over nothing so once a pain on the ass always a pain in the ass. I think she’s just a stress head and maybe doesn’t get laid much.  8)

shayna, it's obvious that that woman is an abusive bitch.  Next time she abuses you punch out her headlights.  I cannot stand abusive people and they should all perish from the earth.

I haven’t been on here in months but I popped in and saw your post. I just wanted to say that is fantastic news! It definitely shows that time is a great healer. I ended up staying on .5 indefinitely because I am doing well and don’t want to go back to where I was a year ago but I definitely will taper off the rest eventually. In the meantime I’m enjoying feeling well and stable.  :)

Hey girls Thanku so much x I have had a rough week I’d say but still nothing like it used to be. The last 2 days have been almost too good.

 

SRR it will happen when u are ready. Feeling well and stable is fantastic. There’s nothing worse than being completely non functional. I tried the completely med free thing for a long time and was not getting anywhere (or it felt like it) so now I take 1/2 a unisom and some melatonin and the last 2 nights lemon balm tea and I’m getting some better sleep. Seriously there’s so much unnecessary scaring of people that u must get off u mustn’t take anything but when u are doing ok with a bit of help I don’t see the harm.

 

Ur day will come and I’m so proud of u for deciding ur good and not pushing urself. Good for u honey x I’m so glad ur doing well ❤️

Shay,

 

So happy to learn that sleep is starting to even out for you...it WILL continue to improve although in it's typical nonlinear roller coaster ride fashion!
