Checking in on the night shift! These 1 am anxiety attacks need to GO. I suspect that my last cigarette of the night is a contributor, and maybe the prednisone. Good thng I'm nearly done the latter. I really hate waking suddenly and panicked.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

smonster, the prednisone can definitely increase anxiety attacks. Or at least it did for me. Though, I still miss it.

Prednisone can have all sorts of effects which vary from person to person. Many have no significant side effects. My late father was one of the unfortunate ones for whom it led to outright clinical paranoia.

After awhile, I get tired of yes still not sleeping. If there is conversation, sure. But I hate starting it.
On A Plane. I could sleepbefore four a.m.

Um. I appear to have a new iPhone. Eep!! And gal at AT&T store said my area now has Uverse! Double Eep. They are installing Monday!!! Why yes, I am too old for family to give gifts to me. But happy to get for myself.
Cass, insomnia here too. If only brain was as tired as my legs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, Cass, no fun. But at least you`re on a plane.
I don`t have insomnia so much as I`m just not asleep. I was awake this time yesterday because of the eclipse, then slept in. Now I`m up because of the concert, and will probably sleep in again tomorrow. At least I`m on break and have time to sort it out. The SO teaches a sound clinic tomorrow; good luck with that!
And now the fire just kicked off, so I am going to get up to stoke it and eat something and then I`ll probably be up for a while.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My late father was one of the unfortunate ones for whom it led to outright clinical paranoia.
When I took it, I had vivid sensory fantasies about putting a gun in my mouth. I ended up having to take antidepressants for several years after to get my brain back into balance. It is a powerful medication, and can do a lot of good. But it can also have some powerful side effects. Smonster, it sucks that it contributing to panic attacks.

Tonight is just travel fun. Now that I got to a place with a bed, gonna try sleep. Once I dry off. Damn it's storming out there. Hi, SoCal, what's with the deluge?

Glad you arrived safely. Let us know if we need to send lumber to build an ark.
