Take care of yourself

Just don't forget.

I, myself am caught up in a messy situation and am forgetting to take care of myself. That's toxic behavior.

I'm determined to correct this!

*Just take care of yourself. Don't ignore your mind. If you need to eat but aren't hungry, eat something small, if you need to rest, lay down, if you need to retreat, then you should, if you need to cry, let it out, if you need to sleep, then you should. I need to remind myself of this all the time.

Allow yourself to be kind to you.

I don’t have the luxury to lay down when I need to sometimes. I work 7 days a week due to financial concerns. When I can I grab some extra sleep. I have 3 PM- Midnight shifts 5 days a week. At night, I listen to music I like to get me thru my shifts.

Apologies, never meant to offend. Music is very helpful ✨️ that's you taking care of yourself. 💛

[Shnookie in reply to Hidden]

U did not offend me at all. U gave great advice. Music is so important in my life. And where I work, they play elevator music that I need to compete with lol 😂

[Hidden in reply to Shnookie]

Lol! That's tough competition 😄 🙏💛✨️

[Shnookie in reply to Hidden]

Annoying competition ! I just put my iPhone into the drawer next to me and play the music I’m in the mood for on you tube.

[Hidden in reply to Shnookie]

That's a damn good plan!

Thank you for this Swilly79!! I forgot to eat today and it’s late afternoon! I’m cooking Pasta for dinner so I plan to overcompensate for the deficit in calories. 😁 Great post!

well I wish I could forget to eat! Lol🦛

[Hidden in reply to CLB1125]

Lol it's not good, I promise. Then my tummy is upset. 😕

That's just what I'm doing, but after a good night's sleep, after breakfast, I nod off again. It's not my eyelids drooping; it's my brain going wobbly and giving up. I don't know what's causing it.

[MaggieSylvie]

That's what I'm doing. However, after a good night's sleep, I'm getting up in the morning feeling refreshed and then after breakfast I nod off. It's not eyelids drooping kind of nodding off, it's my brain going kind of wobbly and then giving up. It's like having a second sleep. Bright daylight, TV on, reading emails but I can't stay awake.

[Hidden in reply to MaggieSylvie]

I love little naps if I can get them. I typically need quiet which I don't get a lot of lol. Hell, I'm/my brain is tired right now and my eyelids feel droopy so I understand.

Take care of you! 🙏

My therapist always tells me to nurture myself....

[Hidden in reply to bethelbee]

It's so critical but, I find it hard to do sometimes. Hug

[bethelbee in reply to Hidden]

I totally get it, hugs back...

It's hard even though I know it's true. I tried getting a service dog when I first got out of the Army but it didn't work. Thank goodness for me that I have pets and other vets. If you ever with the vent let me know.

Peace and goodwill with you and your family.

[Hidden in reply to Frenchie3]

Peace. ✨️💛

I went to the VA for lab I had to have. I asked my husband to take me out go in with me to see my doctor. I feel much better now.

[Hidden in reply to Frenchie3]

See, that's great! You're taking care of yourself ✨️
