Relapse ... I wasn't expecting it so soon... help

[Clare_B]

Hi everyone

I posted previously and was coping so well, even managed to go back too work three days a week, then all of a sudden life became horrible. Mainly due to be unable to sleep. This feels so awful I thought I had it under control. Any advice would be much appreciated. I hope tonight brings sleep and that i can get to work tomorrow.

meant to say on my first day back to work in Feb a car drove into the back of me that's twice within a short period of time but i was so determined i went the next day. Goodness knows what will be next !!!

Hi Clare,

A few underlying facts, what have you been coping with? Life became terrible? Unable to sleep? Cars accidents can be traumatic even if no one is seriously hurt, I hate to be intrusive just wondering if there is some advice I can shed.

Regards,

Josh

Hi everyone, unfortunately on these forums it isn't easy to look up another member's previous posts - if you're wanting people to keep a running track of your ongoing story, it's a good idea to keep it all in one thread rather than starting new ones.  Here is a link to Clare B's earlier post:

Thanks Sophie_M

Sincere apologies as i am relatively new to the forums too.

Please can you advise if I should copy and paste the message back into my initial thread. As having had another look at the rules it seems to suggest not.

Any advice would be appreciated as i have found this website so beneficial and would be very sad if no advice from other members was received.

Kind Regards

thanks Sophie_M as I typed Clare B in the search bar but had great trouble trying to find her post, so perhaps it might be a good idea to copy and paste. Geoff.

Hi Clare

Hope your alright from the two accidents, that is bad luck. I dont have troubles sleeping with the Social Phobia i face, but with the hours i work i need too sleep. So i exercise alot crossfit 6 times a week, and when im ready for bed, im out like a light.. hope this helps

Thanks Slipsteam 55

I didn't particularly like exercise but it has been a big part of my recovery and I think will be a part of my life from now on. Thank you for posting, the forums are great with so many caring people.

Take care of yourself, I completely understand the long hours as I have been through that and it takes its toll on our mental health. I am heading off camping until Sunday but hope to hear back from you.

Take care of yourself

Exercise has changed my life, and im glad that its a part of yours too, i finished work today and did two hours in the gym. I feel really good , and ive been reading about how heavy exercise releases all the good stuff in our brains. I know its a saying we hear alot, but there are so many benefits in exercise. Please enjoy your camping, relax and switch off..
