A better few days at last!

Hi everyone well this is going to be a more positive blog. Actually had a nice weekend for a change with hardly any anxiety which is my main symptom at the mo. it was soooooo nice to feel more relaxed I just can't tell you. I'm sure the weather helped being less cold. I went to a garden centre with my daughter on Saturday(one of my favourite places). I'm back in my own bed after sleeping on the sofa because of nightmares. I did change the bed around Moffy. I did have a nightmare the first night but last night was ok . The other problem I have is my bed I wake up in agony but when I slept on the sofa i woke up with no pain at all. Thing is how can you know if a mattress is right for you? You can hardly sleep in the bed shop overnight to see if you wake up in pain mattresses are not cheap but I can't carry on like this. Anyway compared with some people's problems on here I guess I'm lucky to have a bed at all

I'm so glad you feel a bit better, TM.

You might not need a special mattress - maybe just a decent new one - they deteriorate a lot after ten years.

I suggest you get a soft one if you can, well-sprung with a padded top. Most good quality mattresses are very comfy, anyway - bit there's a lot of sales hype!

The new memory foam mattresses have mixed reaction - some love them, some can't get on with them at all and they are very expensive.

I slept on an hotel mattress which was topped with a layer of this foam, and it was amazing! If I was buying, that's probably what I'd go for.

As you say, we are indeed lucky to have a bed at all - I'm sure there will be a bed tax before too long!

Stay strong and carry on getting better!

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better TM. The weather here was lovely at the weekend and I pottered in the garden ... I felt much better for the warmth ..today its back to normal dull and cold but it seems at last as if the warmer weather is coming and I for one feel a lot better .. Central heating is great but it doesn't compare to the real warmth of the sun

Hi TM so pleased you have had a better weekend, going to the garden centre, great I love them too. Gardens give such pleasure don't they, even if its just the odd potter here and there, I did a bit of one handed weeding of a trough outside on Saturday, but the gloom had returned yesterday and with it the cold wind.

Skipping subjects, have you ever thought of a memory foam topper? They are nowhere near as expensive as a new bed and could possibly help.......whoops just realised Moffy has already said about this, so here are two people who have found them better

Take care and hope the anxiety levels stay down. Foggy x
