Life is a journey-- that isn't woo-woo. I am not spiritual, but I do think that our 'job ' is to find as much happiness,/cotenntment that we can and give as much as we can.
as much as we can - differnt for everyone, different at every time of our lives.
I think Yoga is good, because it promotes body awareess. And I just picked up a new yoga magazine with 21 poses and 17 routines.
because more serenity might be my goal for my 5oth year
I hope you can get a scholarship if the yoga works for you .
Sorry the sleep tests didn't work out. I hope your psychiatrist is really good and helps you taper off safely.
It is so good to hear that you have DH and your friends there to support and encourage you. Hugs.
Nora, no big deal. I mean, what DO you say?! Its awkward.I just figured you were busy.
Definitely been super busy and it's not the kind of email I wanted to toss a quick response off to! And when I say, "I didn't know what to say," it was more, "My words and I feel inadequate to impart comfort or support." So it wasn't like I felt awkward, I just... I dunno. I'm happy to see you here though. Easier to converse!
My words and I feel inadequate to impart comfort or support.
Heh...I have SO been there!
askye, I think sleep studies can be really useful for certain sleep disorders, but just not for mine. And all those electrodes! "Now sleep normally, Miss." Are you fucking KIDDING me?!
Thanks all, for letting me blab all day. My IRL support are at work, and you kept me from obsessing all day, and watching "The Body" and "Once More With Feeling" 8000 times and sobbing hysterically.
Aw, Strix.
Two thoughts:
Take a look back at your life. Think, "Dude, I could be sooooooo much crazier than I am." Because you're a marvel of mental health relative to what you could be. And you should pat yourself on the back for that.
Have you tried anti-anxiety medication for the insomnia? Sometimes my insomnia is better treated with Ativan than Ambien. I can pretty much feel which one will be better but sometimes its a matter of one didn't work two nights in a row so I switch on night three.
{{{Strix}}} It sounds like you are taking the right steps to get help.
Suzi, I'm sorry today didn't go well for you.
My fever is down a bit, but I still feel lousy.
I had my "pre op" appointment for the tubal occlusion. I'm not going to be under "twilight" anesthesia so I'll have to go without food and water. My doctor was really really nice and told me that based on his schedule I'd probably be at the end of the day but to ask the surgery center if I could eat or drink something about 12 hours before the procedure rather than just saying nothing after midnight.
