Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Tell me not to blow up in my brother's fb status. Tell me not to blow up in my brother's fb status. Tell me not to blow up in my brother's fb status.

Not only does melatonin not help me sleep, but also when I do get to sleep after taking it, I have weird, frightening dreams.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Rozeram was a joke. So was Sonata and Lunesta.

I've tried all kinds of sleepy drugs, including an anticonvulsant sample given to me by a psychiatrist that literally made me feel like I might die.

I've had sleep studies, electrodes, teas, tisanes, capsules...

I get incredibly anxious when bedtime approaches and I am out of Ambien. My Rx only lasting two weeks just exacerbates my insomnia problem and I HATES it, precious. I just want to know that if I need to sleep from a certain time to a certain time, I can. And will. Because if I am out, my body will NOT. DO. IT. I can guarantee you, I will be up until at least 7 am this morning, and tomorrow and Sunday, and every fucking day until I can get my next prescription, no matter if I walk, do yoga, meditate. I don't drink caffiene except for the 4 hours after I wake.

And every doctor is all "Oh, no, let's try something ELSE because 20 mgs would JUST BE AWFUL OMG" and I'm like "Dude. It WORKS. Why is that so damn bad?"

"Because it's potentially addictive!"

"I DON'T CARE. Sleeeeeepppppppp."

He and a friend are joking about personal responsibility (as referenced by Palin in the debate) and how they can get "their handouts."

Here's what I've written so far: "In response to 'Now where's my handout?'

"Apparently you can have mine when I'm done with it.

Remember that people actually read this stuff, and you don't know everyone's situation. And sometimes you do. Some of us don't appreciate our struggles and fights being reduced to incorrect assumptions. They also don't appreciate people continuing to spread incorrect assumptions. Even as jokes."

Don't blow up, vw.

Oh lord, Rozerem. With the fun hardly-anyone-suffers-it side effect of increasing depressive tendencies. Gosh, thanks. That was a gift-with-purchase I didn't need.

no matter if I walk, do yoga, meditate. I don't drink caffiene except for the 4 hours after I wake.

I suspect that much like migraines, chronic insomnia is something that is people don't understand how debilitating it can be unless they go through it themselves.

And that's your BRO, vw? Does he just not think, or does he actually think THAT?

I'm in tears. This is stupid. I just don't get my brother sometimes. He just doesn't get it. I love him, but he just doesn't get it.

You know, my boyfriend's family found out this week (at Rash Hashanah dinner) that I'm on Medicare and Medicaid, and they didn't bat an eye. But my brother gives me shit and spreads incorrect shit about "handouts." I could kill him.
