Feeling caged up

[creative_writer]

@GezzaP it’s okay to go at your own pace, especially when it comes to preventing injury.

@AuntGlow I’ve tried stretching and I’ve wrapped myself. Feeling a bit safer, but it’s hard. I don’t want to feel what I’m feeling

[GezzaP]

Yes I will go at my own slow pace @creative_writer . I just did my stretches. They feel good. 
Hope you feel better soon.

@GezzaP also be super careful if you already have existing pain, do you have anyone you can consult for any adjustments that need to be made.

I've taken my night meds and supplements. Hoping to be in bed my an hour.

[GezzaP]

The exercises were recommended by my physio @creative_writer  I am careful. I’m going to bed pretty soon too. Hope you sleep well and feel better.

Hey @creative_writer, 

I think the fact you're feeling safer is a really good sign. 

I wonder what you could do to stimulate your mind right now? 

@GezzaP What are you up to? 🫶

[GezzaP]

@AuntGlow  I did a bit of gardening and intend to do more today. 
Slept over 7 hours at long last! Feeling better. Will walk up to local shops this morning. Am getting quotes for a solar battery today too.

Glad to be able to spend the day in the garden.

@AuntGlow finding something to do that stimulates my mind is hard, I have way too much spare time at the moment. Studying was stressful last year but I had something to do. I volunteer for a few hours per week, but it probably isn’t sufficient.

@GezzaP I hope today has been kind towards you💖

[GezzaP]

I’ve had a good day @creative_writer . Best thing is I’m not tired. Planted seeds, did Spanish lessons and dishes. Having a break before I do weeding. I pour boiling water on weeds easier than pulling them out.

Hope you’re ok today. Sounds like you need to find a hobby to occupy your time.

[AuntGlow]

Good afternoon lovelies! @creative_writer @GezzaP 

@GezzaP SO glad to hear you got good sleep!! Are you finding yourself more grounded today? 

What kind of gardening have you been doing? 🍃

And I understand @creative_writer, there's a fine line between feeling stimulated and overstimulated. How has volunteering felt for you as of late? 💛

[GezzaP]

I’m still hypomanic @AuntGlow @creative_writer . It will

take a series of good nights’ sleep to cure that. 
I sowed portulaca seeds and bamboo of various colours. After a break I did some weeding. There are lots of weeds still got more to do. Too scared of snakes to weed back on this warm day (it’s 26 today). Will do it one cool morning and make lots of noise. Expecting to get more seeds in the mail and want to buy some indoor plants,
