Hi Peeps from the time of this thread its Saturday morning and at last I fell asleep.
My stress levels are through the roof having to rob peter to pay paul again to get to the end of this month but I was exhausted I just fell asleep
If the powers that be and the hand of fate keep throwing Cr**p my way like they are at present that Jacket with the straps and the men in white coats will surely help me to sleep in that square room with no furniture.
Well onwards and upwards to fight another day but with a much clearer head listening to Status Quo (thanks Sappy) but sorry Puff I will give your link a miss even I could sleep without pressing play knowing that song

I just read this
A man was walking into town when he met Death,Im going into to town to take 100 people Death said.The man quickly ran into town to warn everyone,the next day the man said to Death you took a thousand people Death replied I took a hundred the rest came through worrying.
Oh how true that is so whats the secret to less worrying in this day and age

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

I am now convinced I really am a weirdo If I am stressed or worried about anything now a days I can sleep like a log !! It's like my few brain cells shut down to protect me
BUT if life is swimming along merrily,I have chronic insomnia,to the point of needing heavy duty sleeping tablets !!

Hi Inca
I could actually be weird too I love reading meaningful quotes when I`m unsettled it occupies my mind.
I had a major fall out with my Sister in law a couple of years ago and I read a quote "I love long walks especially when taken by people I don`t like" it made me smile every time she tried to hammer another nail in my coffin until one day I found the strength even with all I had going on (loss of my Dad etc) to tell her exactly what I thought the look on her face was magical and I have not let her in my life since bliss!!!! I think I have an overactive brain though my body tells me get some bloody sleep your wearing me out and my brain tells me its no rest for the wicked I must be a really wicked person!

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

Now there's a coincidence I have a brother who I no longer talk to.Didn't like him when we were kids,damned if I will poke up with his sorry arse now we are adults.We are solely connected by DNA and believe me,I would change that if I could.He is neither use nor ornament.
I told him EXACTLY what I thought of him on Feb 28th this year,,every filthy word you can think of fell out of my mouth lol,I left him in no doubt that he no longer exists to me.I was asked by my kid if I would be upset if the brother died and my honest answer is NO,,too much water under the bridge,,he is everything I dislike about the human race and as my Mum and Dad are no longer here I don't have to pretend.I shocked everyone because I'm normally the peacemaker in the family,thats how serious I am about disowning him.
What he did wasn't illegal or abuse,,nothing like that,it was morally wrong and I'm not prepared to deal with a moron like him.He has made his mess,he can live in it

Hi Inca
The saying is so true about been able to choose your friends my lovely daughter bore the brunt of some of her games which was unforgivable I think she chose the easy target
But my daughter fought back and said when she is dead she wont go to the funeral just sing Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead ( The Wizard of Oz )
Its funny how once she could not get under our skin she tried her Brother who is my OH it caused no end of problems but in the end she is the one growing old and lonely
If life over the last 3 years has taught me a valuable lessons its the fact that all that matters is my small family unit which consists of me my OH and 3 lovely kids because when the chips are down no one gives a stuff especially sibling Family .I can remember as kids my Mum and Dad giving us all the love and support we needed we never saw our so called extended family and we never pretended it mattered we never had big family gatherings or if we did we never went just like me now and you know what its much more peaceful even if a little disfunctional at present with all our financial woes a fresh start is called for just not sure where yet or how to get there !

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

As long as my little family unit is safe and well,,i'm fine.I have another brother who I adore,and 2 sisters (did have 3 but one passed away) I'm very very close to them and all my nieces,nephews and their offspring so I have plenty of love in my life,don't need him.The others rarely see him,same reasons as me.Basically he let money become is God and they say what makes you can also bring you down,it did in his case.
We have just been able to relax a bit about money,but not enough to stop me appreciating what I have,,I've skidded along on the bones of my arse financially and it's not nice but this site put me right .My mantra now is,,they can't kill me,hurt me,or take my family so they have to accept what payments I can make.I don't have credit cards or store cards,nor will I again,Got a couple of debit cards but use cash where possible.
Take all the advice you can from this site,,and don't ever feel ashamed to ask,,it's only debt and everyone has been there,some more than others. You WILL get there in the end,,i promise x

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

Thanks Inca for your kind words
I do appreciate this site as it brings all sorts of people together to share their experiences and support I stayed on the straight and narrow for 3 years up to June this year when a drop in income has thrown up worm hole so to speak,I`m trying my hardest to contain it at present without the help of Credit Cards and Loans(wont go there) the only hope I have is to keep plugging away ,but I`m being bombarded from all angles at present and every time I turn a corner something else comes up to scupper my plans so not sure how to work things out which equals more thinking and less sleep

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

ok, have asked The Brother for advice, and as a qualified lunatic and fitness freak he knows all about herbal rememdies and other goodies like that. He asks have you tried visualisation techniques?

From: Puff's Brother
To:Puff


Heyya sis,
You asked for a few relaxation excersizes.. sprogs giving you grief again?
I'm telling you, stick em in a box and send em over for a few weeks, Fed ex, if it fits, it ships!!!

Seriously though you alright?

The best option for you is visualization, its really easy, if my husband can do it, so can you!
Most anxiety is caused by feeling out of control, so we need to make you feel you are in control again and its simple.
Put on some relaxing music, and I MEAN relaxing, even if you do find GNR relaxing the lyrics are anything but, put on something like Rumor or Dean Martin, I got some whale song somewhere you can have that the Killer Midget got me for chrimbo.

Now, you need to imagine yourself sitting on a cliff in a storm, but the rain is warm. Watch the tide beating against the shore, as you inhale, the water comes in, as you exhale, the tide comes out. The rain eases your muscles as it hits them, and as the water drips off your fingers, that is each worry. You do this for as long as you want (you are in control remember) and you should feel 4 stone lighter and sleep like a baby afterwards.

Let me know if you need more

Love you

M

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

If I was you,I would start a thread stating exactly what has happened re drop in finances,what money you have coming in,,what are your priority debts (rent /mortgage etc),and any 'rogue' monies you have to pay out (loans etc) and I virtually guarantee someone will find a way to sort you out.They are pretty on the ball,this lot,I find things out every day. Just do NOT go to PayDay lenders,,that will open up a huge can of stress.As long as you have a roof over your heads,food in tummys and each other,nothing is so serious it can't be sorted

Re: Sleepless in Seattle hardly

Hi Puffrose
I can remember doing something similar imagining walking through a field on a summers day its clouded now though thanks to the film Gladiator using the image that the gorgeous Russell Crowe
was haunted by (behave sapphy with your thoughts)
Thanks for the tip so if I get a quiet relaxing moment in my Mad world I will give it a try although my other half might ask me to switch off the whale music because he cant get to sleep so will try it with him driving the pigs home snore snore !
