My husband flails sometimes in his sleep and has spoken to me in his sleep.The flailing was more dangerous but the talking is...weird. Sometimes he can actually have a mild conversation before he's out again and it's always mildly creepy. One of them involved something about a boat and then he...

Oh no, talking to him like you used to =A+; I meant changing because you're afraid. A lot of folks don't talk about mortality, so suddenly bringing it up as a topic now that he's facing it would be off. Sorry, my bad assumption (for the record, mortality and philosophy are things I bring up too...

So you don't mean you obsess over a single thing, but about everything as it happens? Sorry it was sounding like you got stuck in a thought rut over one particular thing rather than multiples as they occur. If it is multiples as they occur-that is *definitely* overthinking. Difference...

Thanks hon, hugs right back at ya.

Not a member of any organized religion-my faith is personal. I pray every day. If for no other reason than to remember to be grateful and to thank whatever you may choose to believe in to have the things I do. Even were I an atheist, taking the time every day to remind oneself of all the...

As a sufferer-take care of yourself first. You can't help him if these things are harming you. Is he in therapy? If not, he should be. Any diagnosed individual should at least try it and should talk to their doctor. It isn't "all in his head" it's an actual neurochemical cause. It's even a...

I had a wonderful prof who was a dramaturge at the globe theater. I even sent him emails afterwards when I found things I thought he would like. I've always reacted to teachers and profs as peers-for one it didn't work so well-but for most it does. MIssing the rest of his course is a constant...

Yup, me too. On my worst days it's beer and nyquil on top of my regular meds (cipralex 40mg and seroquel 50mg) which I take late at night. I have another sleep test here shortly (for a CPAP) because I didn't sleep enough for their last test to count. We also have a specialist here I may see...

Hon-we need you. You can't leave us. You are one of those who are helping us all bring the world to where it needs to be. I know this neverending war against you, your every self and identity is hard, but we do need you. I'm cishet, and I'll tell you that your existence in the world somewhere...

Of course you do (sufferer here) I have even encouraged my spouse to look into supporter resources. Dealing with those of us afflicted is not always a picnic (faaaar from it-but if we could change it, believe me, we would). Take care of yourself, or you can't help anyone, let alone deal with...

I tried melatonin-no reaction whatsoever. Might be that it helps you. I mean it's not like a neurochemistry is all different or anything :P Do what works for you, but always check with your doctor and try to get as pure sourced as you can. Capsules are just as often filler as not.

While awake? Oh yes. I paint, draw, write, read, do the social media thing here and on facebook, have three news sites I keep up with, and anything else I can fill my brain with. Anything you can stuff in there can keep it from going on repeat, though, if you have some real problems, I found...

My eldest baby (cat) is seventeen. He's full of it when he's awake, but he sleeps a lot now and isn't as spry as he used to be. We had to remove a bile duct tumour the size of a softball from him last year and I thought it was it then. We had a very talented vet surgeon though. He's still with...

oh dear lords and ladies no. It is most *certainly* traumatic. Sure it isn't violence, but you're having your trust and care violated by something you have no hope of fighting. How on earth or varied dimensions is it *not* traumatic??? My final breaking point after denying my PTSD and...

Yup. Same things happen with people who stutter. Everything gets stuck-think of it like a strainer, only so much can get through at once. It all gets clogged up and turned into a mess. Honestly I only have the same part go back over and over if I can't distract it with something. Maybe it's...

So sorry for your loss. Our furbabies are our family and sometimes the closest friends we could ever hope for. Your choice not to keep her in pain was the right one, as much as it hurts right now. I hope your grief transforms into a permanent paw print in your heart to carry with you. <3

I am so sorry this happened to you. I can only hope that you get away from the jerk who made you feel like this soon. <3 to you, hold on hon, you're worth more than an infinite amount of any stupid jerk bigots. People like that make me want to advocate for retroactive abortion. :mad:

You mean overthinking a situation? ALL.THE.TIME. Seriously... every single night I spend hours while my brain chews over *everything*. From what I wore to what someone said, to ... just everything. It isn't that you're stupid-in fact, often it's just the opposite. You have an overly...

I asked you to really think about this, because anyone you talk to will ask you the same. It's to establish whether you're in a healthy or unhealthy situation. Given that you have other issues, depending on others for basic activities isn't that unusual. They're there to help you live...

I'd suggest looking at it as if someone else was filling the role. Imagine it-does it make you anxious? How does that idea make you feel?

It is both. Dealing with the terminal illness of someone dear to you is both traumatic and a cause for grief. My mother was a geriatric nurse so I grew up around mortality (she used to take me to work because the elderly patients loved the little girl who would talk to them). My husband's...

Does he meet your basic needs or could someone else in a similar situation? That's something you need to think about and find out first. That will decide where you're at and where you can go from here.

Beer after moving a bunch of stuff. Last of the renos tomorrow and we procrastinated. So now I'm sweaty, covered in a hardening crust of sweat and dust and beering my way to "ughhhhh". Also-shower columns are the shiznit. Best item we ever bought for our house.

Pot Roast is my go to. Beef+half an onion+beef boullion cubes+whatever spices+carrots and whatever other veggies. Water to top of roast. Put in oven. 6 hours later, take out. Watch as meat falls apart. Serve with broth in roasting pan or-if you feel energetic, set it in a pan and heat it...

Brave isn't not being afraid, it's being afraid and doing it anyways. :) \
