It is so good to hear that you have DH and your friends there to support and encourage you. Hugs.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

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!

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So proud of you, Strix.

{{{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.

Thrive to spite them
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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
{{{{Strix}}}}} Good on you for asking for help, getting help, and being self-aware. That's so damned hard when the monsters keep trying to take control.
In totally other news, I had my best Dr visit every with a uro-gynecologist. I expected it to be utterly terrible, just given the area in question and the fact that it was with a specialist at a teaching hospital (OHSU) so I knew there would be at least one student doing the "ooooh, so THAT's what it looks like IRL" route and that's never super fun. But the Dr was fantastic, super personable, totally listened to me, totally asked all the right questions and gave all the reassurances and while not a pleasant experience physically it was a great experience emotionally. When has that ever happened to me? I'm giving Dr Mary Denman all the kudos.
