I'm always a little better in the am.
Bad dreams again. Wake up with panic attack. Takes a few moments to realize it was a dream and didn't really happen.
My mom is in them frequently.
Trigger.
She was an unhappy alcoholic who hated both her husbands. Migraines and depression.
At least I'm not an alcoholic and picked a nice guy for a husband.
How are you today?

Good morning! Sorry to hear about your bad dreams. They can be bothersome and seem very real. I've been having night terrors lately.
I'm okay so far today. I'm drinking coffee like I usually do Saturday mornings. I'm trying to take a break from work since it's been so stressful lately.

Yesterday afternoon and evening were troubled and I have to continue dealing with that situation today, but this morning my headache is gone and I am able to approach things rationally and with a steady hand!

Well here's hoping we can all manage some happy moments today.
I'm watching a dvd. Drinking coffee and the kitten is peacefully asleep. Big cat too, only on sofa in living room. Cats have good ideas. Eat well. Get lots of love and attention. Nap often.

Good morning to you too! If I'm honest, I'm feeling fantastic; amazing. Never felt better.

But I'm sorry to hear about your bad dreams and panic attack. Been there, had that. Definitely not fun!

Are your dreams triggering?

Good Morning, sitting drinking coffee and watching lucky dog on TV. It's a guy who rescues dog, trains them and finds them happy homes. Hope your day is good and sorry you had bad dreams

I love that show. I watch it too when I'm in CA. Also The Dog Whisperer. Dr Laura.
Love animal shows.
Yes. My dreams have triggered bad mania before.

Good morning! I woke up early (for me on a weekend) at 6:20. I don't know why. I made breakfast for myself since my son only wanted cereal. I wish I could go Christmas shopping today but unfortunately I don't get paid till next week and only have $72 to last me until then. So I'm stuck in the house. I guess I'll clean! Have a great day.

I'm on a list for email Daily Deals. I just look, not buy. It's fun.

A little groggy (think I slept too much), other than that I feel the best I have in months. This year has been very rough on me mentally and emotionally I am glad to have some peace, even if just for a little bit.

Good morning! Money is tight so we're making breakfast at home. Presents are all bought. Have a couple stragglers next week. Another quiet day at home.

Good morning! Sorry to hear about your dreams. I am thankful to never really have experienced that. I slept really good. I woke up several times (as I usually do) but it was a nice long rest.

So just sitting here listening to upbeat music and enjoying myself. Trying to stay in a positive mindset.

Going to try to get out the Christmas decorations today and get them up. I can't keep procrastinating forever.

Good morning! Been up for a while, but just drifting in and out of sleep. Trying to get a good sleeping pattern down.
