Morning,
You need not reply.
I have anxiety, rage, disappointment, anger - feeling of disabled.
I have that elephant on my chest feeling. Tho, it's more than that.
Last two nights, very bad sleep. Crappy dreams. I am talking in my sleep. It takes every energy I have.
In my dream, I cannot talk properly.
(I work it out when I wake up i.e I must have been talking whilst asleep)
I have GP appointment today.
This anxiety.
It never goes away.
I have been drinking, almost daily. I'm going to try trade a break. I need clear head. I think it makes things worse. I crave the relaxation.
The anti-anxiety meds have limited use for me. I adapt within days. The anxiety is too strong.
I have psychologist. She is teaching me coping methods. They don't work on my own. With her, it went away.
It's these last two nights / days.
I am so angry, I cannot sleep.
xx

Just dropping by for a quick virtual hug and chat.
Hope your resting and waking hours even out.
We are in a topsy turvy mode here, but no pressures so it is alright.
Loved hearing about your work with kids on the Christmas thread.
Yep cats and kids have a few things in common and caring for them has its similarities.
My mood has been varied. Its a complicated time for me. Had a smoocher from fb try to chat me up, cheered me for a bit, but too much honey and sweetness and I am gone. Has to be pure and homegrown.
