Exhaustion doesn’t tired me anymore. Rarely sleep these days. You’re fine. Not negative at all. You are allowed to do whatever that feels right. So don’t bother about others 🙂 . I know saying it is easy than done and I do also feel a tinge if someone said something bad about me. Life…

Aww…. Hugs…
I do understand, Fiona.
On the outside, we put on a brave front, so as not to make other people worried, but inside, we’re crumbling like cookies!
Thanks for the tips. I will look out for the St John’s Wort supplement.
I can fall asleep easily nowadays, due to exhaustion.
And I run around like a headless chicken, getting things done.
People say i’m a cynic, and like you, i always think about the worst scenario.
But that’s what reality is all about. We tend to protect ourselves or prepare ourselves with the worst scenario, so as not to be shocked or suddenly thrown off our axis. But to them, we’re seen as negative. Duh!

Thank you. People has been telling me how strong I am. The fact is, I’m not. I may look strong but I’m actually not. I’m on the brink and no one sees it because they think I’m strong. I’m the most fragile person you will ever know.

I find St John’s Wort helps in mini anxiety and also puts me to sleep. Whenever I feel that I’m slipping in, I take that. It’s supplement so it’s more healthy.
I cried yesterday after holding up for 2 weeks. Things are harder now.
