happy I'm sorry you are feeling down. Have you had a check up at the docs? Sometimes a deficiency can do that, hormone imbalance, thyroid, clinical depression. I know you have had to deal with some health issues. Are they getting you down? If it's emotional YCDI has some great advice. I also say to myself "I am safe" or "this too shall pass". I hope you feel better soon.
((happy)) :-x
YCDI :^O Well, I could go to Specsavers ๐ I'm sure they have heard nuttier. I hope!

Thanks cat and YCDI.
I'm still trying to get used to this blasted cpap machine, and coupled with my chronic insomnia I'm fighting two battles. I know my Vit D levels are low, so due to the fantastic weather we've had in Victoria (not) they have probably dropped lower. I've been diagnosed with clinical depression for years, so unfortunately I sometimes slip into a 'downer' easily.
Cat I have to tell you about a funny story that happened to me. One xmas day I was driving to my aunts with my dad. As I'm driving down a country road I see an animal walking across the road in the distance. I said "Dad, there is a monkey walking across the road" ๐
Well Dad cracks up laughing "its a koala you twit" and I turn red faced when I realised what I said. He then muses out loud wether he should of got me a voucher for an optometrist for xmas.
I was on my P plates at the time so was either 18 or 19 years old.

Happyroo, are you taking a vitamin D supplement - I really think you should. I was gobsmacked when my GP told me i was vitamin D deficient, I didn't think it was possible in a country like Australia,

Higs and Hugs.
Cat....:^O:^O
Happy, (((hugs)))
If you need to take Vitamin D then the Eagle brand is the best, it is the only one that doesn't have lanolin in it.
Showed Mahogany's blood results to my Homeopath on Monday, she doesn't think it is Hyperactiver thyroid at all, so taking her to another Homeopath tomorrow , one who is very good treating animals.
OK's on for anyone who needs the ok healing power. :-x:-x

I'm supposed to take Vit D supplement, but I forget quite often.
Letting it all 'out' last night helped a bit. I haven't talked to my support people (family) because there has been a few other things going on and I don't want them to have to worry about me too.
It really means a lot to me that you ladies are prepared to listen :-x

Hugs and higs and 0/ to Mrs Braff and wearing my OK's for unwell kitties and Oker's.
I got a headache. :_| So I'm going to make myself a coffee with cream (part of my diet no kidding!) then go to bed.
People keep asking me if I've lost weight. I've lost 8 kg's. It's nice when others start to notice. It makes me want to continue .. oh and of course keeping blood sugar levels stable is a plus ๐
Ahhh insomnia. You know that's something that's never bothered me for too long. (I consider myself lucky). If I can't sleep I just get up and watch TV or read a book. If I still can't sleep I then self sooth by reassuring myself I'm still resting because I'm horizontal and it won't kill me and to enjoy the silence of the early hours.
This tends to work because after a couple of nights of "not worrying" my sleeping patterns return to normal.

Oh and I have good news!
I haven't been shopping at a huge shopping centre since last year because last time I had to stop every 10 mins and rest. It scared me so much I refused to do it again, making excuses. But the fact was I was very ill with undiagnosed diabetes.
Anyway, the other day I walked around the shopping centre for a couple of hours without having to stop and rest! By the end of it I was very tired but I'm so happy my energy levels are improving. ๐

Thats great news cat!
I'm feeling much better now, so thankyou everyone for your healing thoughts. It has meant so much to me knowing that someone thinks I'm important enough to have healing thoughts sent.
