Thank you very much, amandalouise. It is meaningful to me that you took the time and energy to share your experience with me.


I have been so busy checking on the sleeping one; there was a traumatic/stressful event that took place; it was severe. In another post here on PC (I don't recall where right now) I posted the circumstances following the traumatic event. What had happened was that (***TRIGGER***)


(***TRIGGER***)


there were too many pills (Klonopin) taken. The purpose of that action was to dull the emotional pain. She didn't take a lot of pills, just enough to cause sleep. Well, she remained asleep for 7 days.

Apparently she had also been asleep for 3 full days a few weeks ago. I told my pdoc it was a bad reaction to a new med, but pdoc believes that some part of me was asleep due to a type of dissociation.

Anyway, I don't intend to ramble on. I have just wondered if others tend to have a part that "goes to sleep" when it is overwhelmed.
