I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Zen, I hope one or all of your doctor's suggestions turn out to be useful.
I've started doing yoga, for certain definitions of "yoga". Have I mentioned it here? It's 45 minutes of gentle poses and half an hour of finding new ways to lie comfortably while a kind person covers me with a blanket. It's very soothing.

In my continuing saga of trying to find a rheumatologist, UC Rheumatology doesn't take new patients with EDS anymore. So, I got a recommendation for a doctor at yet another practice who I can try calling.

How do you not fall asleep? Conversely, how do you not lock up in constant vigilance over having that much attention paid to you?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
How do you not fall asleep? Conversely, how do you not lock up in constant vigilance over having that much attention paid to you?
When both urges exist in perfect balance with one another, then you have found your centre.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So, my center is that moment when you're falling asleep but you suddenly jerk awake for no reason? That sounds about right.
