sounds like you should de-stress somehow @Glisten  nothing worse for brain than stress sometimes. esp when becomes fatigue. drink lots water ? breathing? get ontop of sleep? gon on sleep meds for few weeks maybe to re-set? see dr?

[Glisten]

@TAB  I can wholeheartedly reassure you that I have done and am doing all of the things on your list.

✅ Drink 2 litres of water 

✅ Box breath work & 4 - 7 - 8 in the sauna

✅ Have sleep meds

✅ GP follow up in 2 weeks 

I was having trauma responses until I started on new medication.

You got to remember I was in a psychologically, emotionally and financially abusive relationship for 13 years.

I’ve got to give my lawyer as much ammunition as she needs.

okay, well maybe make a cut-off date for the self-pressure. do you have one ? @Glisten  not very understanding of me, guess make hay while sun shines re brain then, try to use it when it works, say 2am maybe or whatever then dont the other times

@TAB  my daughters are taking me out tomorrow night. Drinks, dinner and then ARC Led Zeppelin IV at Perth Concert Hall.

I don’t think we will get too messy 🤔

But it will release some pressure.
