Thank you
@TryingHarder. Thank u for the encouragement. I really needed it especially in times of uncertainty. P really knows how to make your life feel worse than it could ever feel. I'll pick myself up and try again and maybe change a few things in my strategy towards this.
If I may ask, which steps have helped you during this journey? Especially I'm the long run cos if I cannot be honest, going a week without P seems to a hefty challenge for me
Continuously Adjusting is the name of the game, so it's great that you said that. It's also important to accept that it's par for the course for the foreseeable future and since some one like you is struggling to do a week, then you also know that you have to deal with the emotionally draining baggage that comes with that truth. It's so easy to give in when we are carrying so much emotional weight, and our lower ego/subconscious just can't wait for those weak moments to pounce on us.
love the idea of getting outside in the a.m. Great idea. I also practice going deep within when I do wake up during a broken sleep. I'm getting stronger and more resilient, like a muscle. I've been doing it so long now, I sometimes actually enjoy the discomfort or being awake.
Also, I've stopped stressing that I've woken. I just tell myself that this withdrawal doing it's thing and that actually my body is craving to get back to sleep. so I give my mind permission to relax. It's lll bout perspectives and the subsconscious doesn't know if you're bullshitting it. just be convincing by believing in the TRUTH that our bodies love two things more than anything:
One: Food
Two: Sleep
Try also some over the counter sleep products. in the UK there is a good one that comes in a blue pack, but take for too long and you can feel like a zombie. But it can act as an aid until you establish a stronger relationship with broken nights. It's helped me a lot.
best of luck!
