No solution @zeropoint but I have this same issue. If working on anything close to bedtime I cannot relax when I try and sleep and instead stay wired, jittery, and just stare into the darkness for hours. Sometimes if I stop and hour or so before bedtime and read I can soothe my mind enough for...

@Saria that is a really good idea! *big :hug: s to you. They are still crazy painful today but i am going to try and paint, as if i don't make art i may go bonkers. An audiobook or a movie by myself sound really good. :)

@Unraveling1 you forgive who you want and f*ck whatever the the rest of the world wants. What she said I'm sure she did say out of care for you, but she had no right to ask that of you. I will never forgive the one that trapped me, and I don't give a damn what anyone else thinks about that. As...

can't move hands much but am out of gloves for a few. my husband says he can see the swelling in my finger joints. i'm scared because i'm a painter/sculptor person and what if this becomes norma;. have to think about other ways to express and make art. little self in side of me is sad today as i...

SO happy for you both! Still, very much hoping she gets therapy, or maybe that you both join the site. maybe she could see properly that there are others here including me with PTSD and early trauma that went on to have thriving healthy children, and that therapy certainly helped that.

reasrching creepy stuff today has made the darkness palpable. worth it though as i need to get this out. the sun is shining and that a nice contrast to what i'm feeling. @jaccat gallows humor is sometimes the funniest and most poignant. @Recovery4Me you kick ass!

i'm angry a my joints and very nearly hate them today. and i'm angry that i'm scared.
