Q: how long after you wake up in the morning do you truly feel " ready to take on the day". do you lay in bed for a while first?

A: I linger in bed after I'm fully awake for about half and hour or so. I don't like being in bed so long because when I'm up and just laying there I tend to ruminate and get intrusive thoughts, and I hate when that happens so early in the AM. I get up and start my day as fast as I can to start to distract myself even if I don't feel totally rested.

Q: Do you have any family members that still do not fully understand or sympathize with your Dx?
