Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Yeah and I wasn’t dreaming it either I’m sure I was awake at one point and convinced I had to find a bag to pack this happened last time I was really sick I thought our baby was giant and walking around the house (she was 5 months old)

We only have an aircon in the kitchen and living area but every time I thought I was falling asleep I just got woken up my wife took the kids to playgroup so I could at least sleep while they were gone for a bit
I actually just want to lay on the cold floor and I have a massive headache

Re: Not Coping

I will say I do feel slightly better now that I have slept for a good stretch and got somewhere cool it was just SO HOT last night here even with the windows open there was no breeze or anything felt like 30c when I went to bed
I think that could be hit, heat exhaustion from being the sun yesterday, dehydration and poor sleep (over a long period) has probs caught up with me

Re: Not Coping

Hahaha no @PizzaMondo 

Lol, when am I not here? It's been a challenging few days.

I'll post some photos once my friend sends them.

Re: Not Coping

Oh no I'm sorry that happened @ArraDreaming 

Re: Not Coping

I can imagine having those thoughts in that moment, would have felt so absolutely real to you @ArraDreaming ! How did you feel when your wife reminded you there's no plane to catch though?

Hey, if the floor is nice and cold - get cosy and lay there, but I want you to make sure you have a BIG glass of water beside you too. Because if it's still hot, you need to make sure you're filling up with fluids and keeping yourself well fed so you can feel somewhat human still, while this cold... or whatever it is, does its thing before it can go away!

Maybe you can cool down the home with some aircon in the living area and chill there for a bit too if the cold floor gets uncomfortable..?

Re: Not Coping

OOps, just read this post after responding to the other - glad you're feeling slightly better now - you describing the windows open but no breeze.. I KNOW THAT FEELING - I hate it too, I had to bring the fan into the bedroom last night to have some breeze because it was unbearable..

Perhaps all of the above as you listed has caught up with you and your body now.. especially after starting new work too!

How has that been going for you by the way - I haven't been able to check in - my apologies @ArraDreaming !

Re: Not Coping

@PizzaMondo the aircon is out there but I need quiet (2 of my kids are home)

Re: Not Coping

Well I know you're active on here, but I haven't been in over a week, so that's why it's nice to see everyone here 😛 @Birdofparadise8

How does it feel to be back to study and normalcy after the last few challenging days?

No rush, excited to see what these chemical reactions/digestions look like though..!

Re: Not Coping

maybe I wil tag you in the thread I am usually on so that it doesn’t take away from bofp8 @PizzaMondo

Re: Not Coping

Whatever you are finding easier, sorry I muddled the threads up too!! - tag me and I will respond there @ArraDreaming
