Found some balance today between what I needed and what I wanted to do.
Felt overwhelmed and agitated, earlier today with bills, paperwork, dentist and the real need to accomplish so much that I didn't get to. Did succeed in later balancing this with taking it easy.
Another day gone by, and looking forward to sleep, .....feeling pretty good tonight and overall a good uncomfortable day.
I recall making much progress in the past when I didn't put so much value on being and feeling comfortable, ....and I did what I had to do, bc I had to do it. Lately, working in this direction again, nevermind all the avoidance.

New roomate is moving in today... plus MIL is coming back over...
so as you could imagine I'm cleanig like crazy,
or at least I"m trying to.
I keep catching myself standing in a room with no idea of what I was doing or why I went there.
I get distracted way too easily
(for example... I'm on the computer right now, instead of cleaning, oops)
My back is still hurten... although physical therapy did relief some pressure and stiffness yesterday... my back/neck/jaw muscles have already begun to tighten up.
I don't even want to talk about the facial pain...
OHHHHH!!!!! Just now (while I was typing this) I got a call from the university hospital, my doctor had spoken to the sleep specialist, and they are putting me on something that will hopefully help me get in control of my nightly horrifying nightmare!!!!!! (or reduce them)
I'm willing to try anything at this point.
It's the same nightmare every f*cking night, with tiny variations added.
I crave rest, my body may sleep, but my minds running at full speed trying to sort out stuff.
I want to work on my issues while I'm awake, not in nightmares.
For almost 2 years now, I've been having the same dream every night and it's almost become an alternate life for me. messed up

Help may be on the way!!!
:hello: Having those pesky repetitve dreams..Heh? I learned a technique to break the cycle of repetitive dreams...especially the nightmarish ones.....During the day write up a different scenario of your dream...like something positive will happen at the precise moment that whatever is happening gets scary....An example: If in your dream someone grabs you...at that point write something in=a net falls out of the sky trapping the "grabber" allowing you to escape. You can go on from there and make the dream what you want it to be...example=the net comes down, captures the "grabber", you get away and meet a Knight on a purple spotted horse and he sweeps you up and takes you to Disneyland where you enjoy a 2 week FREE vacation with only the best accomidations and a free rental Cadillac that comes with a chauffer and with all this gas you need........Once you write out this scenario..Take it and read it over and over to set it in your mind....then just before bed read it over and over several times.....then sleep........It has worked several times for me so I reccomend you to try it......This way you have power in your dream and the stuff in the dream doesn't have power over you.......Since your dream has been going on for for a couple of years.....I would suggest that you keep trying this process for at least a week or till it loses its power over you.....I've never had a bad dream last more than 2 weeks.....However once I did this that particular dream went away in 2 nights........I would really give it a go if I were you [and I'm not]!!!!!! Let me know when it works!!!!:wink: wildfirewildone.....KEEPING THE PEACE

wildfirewildone, that's a great idea! :)
I've attempted to do something fairly similar,
but would never write it down,
I only thought about how I could change the dream.
But now my fingers are crossed, and my pen is ready.
Thank you :)

Feel like I'm speeding tonight. True, I had a cup of coffee about an hr. ago, but that shouldn't make me feel, like I feel tonight.
Restless & irritable throughout the day. Dealing with this gnawing low-grade anxiety in my chest and guts tonight, as well as thinking to fast.

Ugh long night last night. Was able to crash but as usual at the 3 hour point I came flying off the sofa and my husband looked at me and asked what is it with you and a few hours sleep? I always wake in the panic again. So body wiped out but mind going way too fast. Feel like I am hitting where I did before which pisses me off, I had stopped panicking at night and it has just come back and no recall of what I may be dreaming.
I was looking at pictures of my son and a poem that is printed on one photo and I cried. I am missing him so much but he will be here on the 9th. I was very upset his flight was canceled last month and missed his birthday he was to be here for. Debated calling my teen girl as I was think as fried as I was last night could she really make it worse? Decided every time I think that way it does.
At least I was able to go to bed late this morning and got a few more hours.

I enjoyed a nice, relaxing day today. I finished about 90% of my household chores yesterday (sudden burst of energy-yeah...like that was going to waste!) and spent a lot of today reading, watching movies with the family and cooked dinner. I'd forgotten how much I really like cooking and how much I've missed it for quite a few months now.
And having to go back to work tomorrow isn't even bothering me. Man...I must be relaxed. *grin*
