    Sleep hygiene tips - the smallest things that help?

    Upside Down Eagle. I dont know if its more physical or mental stress but will share some thoughts. When we work hard enough physically, it usually leads to a good sleep. However, the body remembers things even when the mind forgets. IDK-but I have been waking up grinding my teeth this past week...

    Divorce Incoming.

    I probably should not be saying this....but I am going to anyway. When I read that the counselor only wanted to see him in the future (I recognized that as familiar in counseling) that he was already done when you went. I know that you say and I do believe you, is shared fault. Usually the...

    Conserving water

    That sounds pretty rough. I dont know how you can conceive water when it sounds like your not using it much. If you are in RV, you are likely not doing laundry or watering plants and such. I run a dishwasher almost daily and laundry too. I just dont see how its possible, but he likely has good...

    What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

    I had a veggie sandwich for dinner (tomato, cucumber , red onion sprouts, lettuce, humus, and cheese on Pumpernickel) Very tasty. Then I had salted caramel cheesecake and it was fabulous.

    Sufferer So tired

    I sure understand. Im exhausted too. Im also unhappy with marriage. I expressed that to husband and it makes me afraid of him. I am no permitted to share my feelings basically, and if I do, he either becomes violent or silent, and the rear is the same. Silent is a fear from my past...just...

    Can't. Do. It. Anymore.

    I totally relate to wanting to sleep and not wake up. I just cant think of a reason to get out of bed. My husband gets done work about 5pm and wakes me often. I also stay up half the night and though its not the norm, I really dont care. I dont really feel part of anything anymore, nor do I want...

    Can't. Do. It. Anymore.

    Im sorry you are going thru this. The cold and lack of sun and daylight feels like its doing me in. Any yes, the world seems to be getting shittier by the day. December has been bad month for me for a long time. The Christmas time that I use to love has dissipated over the years. I had a major...

    Emotional Amnesia

    Friday, WOW, that is what I would like to do, but think Im too old to just take off, and too many medical problems. Im just so exhausted that I am disconnected from everything and everyone. I am almost sure I have a bone infection from a break and surgery, but also know I sound like a...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    Applecore, that's what I thought you were referring so since you posted your own quote. Life is not long but I understand you cant see that right now. Seems like I was just 30, now almost 70. Ive been sitting here feeling sorry for myself today and know it doesn't help (the brain doesn't listen...

    Anxiety with fear

    Im sorry you are struggling with this also. I cant exercise right now so I find myself being a bit compulsive about other things.

    Anxiety when waking

    My anxiety is my worst symptom. Some trauma related and also general. I had it managed pretty well until Easter. I had an accident and really bad ankle breaks. Emergency surgery (very deformed) where I have to hop on one foot with a walker because I have an external fixator that will come off...

    balancing media intake

    I am having a hard time limiting political news here in the US. I have strong opinions about things and they are part of my daily life. Is it having an impact on me? Yes, but I think it should as our future is at stake. Every single day there is more drama going on and it feels very unstable...

    Sufferer Looking to give and get support from people who can relate

    Welcome Susan. Glad you are seeking out support here and Im sure you will find so much of what you relate to. I agree, it is so hard to accept that trauma is responsible for so much of what goes on with us. I was doing great until almost 50 and had some trauma. I guess it triggered something...

    Human Connection

    Before I read what you wrote, I was going to ask about any addictions, even cigarettes, as that is an addiction. There are groups in US such as Adult Children of Alcoholics, and not everyone in the group has or had an alcoholic parent, but they did have a parent with those characteristics. Some...

    Wishes

    I wish I had the energy that would help me to loose the 30 pounds I have put on. I feel like the weight makes it harder to be more physical, and without more activity, I cant see how Im going to loose it as its not my diet.

    How do you find hope?

    I hear your thoughts giving you a big whooping. Things you feel ashamed of, racking up debt because of . depression. Then you were called names, when you already felt shame about it. Your wondering if you can change, if you deserve to, and it seems that there is a record playing in your head...

    Desperation vs Delight… in finding someone like ourselves.

    I have not really. I have met those with similarities. I have meet those who pretend to be like me, think and act like me. I have been fooled by actors. I have seen thru actors and ignored because I needed "something" and thought that something they did made me feel good. I feel like we are as...
