Just when I think it's going to be better

I was doing well for a few days and I started planing and getting ready to go back to work. I was so happy and relieved, I was going to get my hair done. My cave woman look is really setting in.But, alas, I didn't sleep a wink last night and today I'm just not right.

All this makes my concentration worse and I can't even distract myself because I can't watch TV, read, do my craft, design anything ... It's like getting a handle on things and find out that handle is broken too.

I'm gonna watch the Graham Norton show.

not getting sleep ruins things.

Hopefully you will be able to get a good night sleep tonight and be able to feel like you did a few days ago. It is so great that you were making progress and this set back doesn't take away from that. I hope you will still plan on getting your hair done. It sounds like it might help you feel better. We are all here for you.

Yes, I'm not going to let my plans go, it's just that I wasn't expecting this and it hurts that I can't get through a good week. Just one week!

I am glad that you aren't going to let your plans go. Good for you. I am sorry that you couldn't get through a good week. Hopefully next week will be the whole good week for you.

I can relate to what you wrote. There are days when you feel that can just do the things you've planned and then you can't and you end up feeling like a failure. But we need to remind ourselves that it is a just setback - and that we will try again. Lets not be too hard on ourselves. Be gentle and kind to yourself as you are with others. As I say this to you, I am also reminding myself. I pray that we all find relief and healing from this soon.
