burned spaghetti!

I woke up like every hour! My dreams had to do with a huge mall again. I’m beginning to think I spent too much time at the mall of America when I lived in the twin cities. There was a full sized train in the mall going back and forth between the two sides.

I’ve watched stuff about that mall ! It’s like a place to have a family vacation lol. I really do think it’s cool tho.

I fell asleep around 6. I woke up now. I didn't take any melatonin and that is rare when I don't take any. So I wonder what was up with me yesterday but I feel ok today. I left some canned chicken in my room and I thought one of my cats had diarrihea real bad or something until I realized what the smell was.

Nammu I insist you sleep tonight. None of that fish out of water on the dock !!!!!

I’ve had to drip faucets the last couple days and that always causes me huge anxiety ( years ago we had almost all of our pipes freeze and break) So anytime I’ve needed to drip I set my alarm for every 3 hours to go flush things and run the water full blast. Yes Steve tells me I don’t need to but it’s truly a ptsd situation. So I really don’t get any sleep.

Hugs to all

My mom almost ate the canned chicken I left out all night today at noon. I had to really tell her not to. She whined and said "I wish you wouldnt do that because I like this." She has this thing with food waste its almost like an obsession. She's taken bacon out of the garbage becauae it was "just sitting on top of paper towels." She's eaten food thats been left in the microwave all night. One time I had to hide a container of brazil nuts from her after I found out they are poisionous because she'd eat them all.

I'm in bed but I have not taken my night or sleep meds.

I thought I was going to bed at a pretty good time. But I guees 8-3 is still technically enough sleep.

I got another hour or so of sleep around 5.

Mountaindewed · Dec 25, 2021 at 11:00 AM

I slept from 9PM-7:40. I have a lot of family stuff today so I'm glad it wasn't one of those nights where I woke up at 2:30 or earlier. I had a couple iced lattes to keep me going though.

Mountaindewed · 07:39 AM

I fell asleep at about 8. I woke up right before 11. Its 4 now. I didn't really think about it until just now but 8 something until right before 11 is basically no sleep. I didnt really want to sleep though so I had 3 cans of watermelon zero sugar Mountain Dew. So I'm not very tired right now.

I got some more sleep around 4:45. So I feel better and I'm not anxious from the caffeine.

Nammu · Dec 26, 2021 at 10:01 AM

Slept pretty well. Woke up early but I didn’t wake up constantly though the night so a win. Had hospital dreams. Was chaos but they were building a new hospital wing and I applied to move. The new rooms were cars. You basically lived in a car!

Mountaindewed · Dec 27, 2021 at 11:50 AM

I struggled with falling asleep. I had anxiety and physical stuff going on. After going almost 24 hours of no sleep I fell asleep around 9. I woke up a few times but I got up for good at 6:30. I felt gross physically and mentally. A hot shower didnt do much to make me feel better. I can't tell whats up. It could be a geodon issue though. The bottle says I can get it refilled on the 5th but I could probably get it filled on the 3rd possibly. I dont know what would happen if I tried calling it in now. What kind of trouble I could possibly get into.

Nightmares every night past few weeks, added to that this morning I woke up with a muscle spasm. NP says its trauma related because I thought about "it" for 10 minutes in therapy. Starting prazosin tonight so hopefully that helps.

Nammu · Dec 27, 2021 at 12:49 PM

Was awake on and off all night and then woke much too early. Dreams of alien 👽 abducted. And being posed for pictures. Something to do with standing in a pool and being forced to work. There was a small group us that bonded together to over throw the aliens and free everyone. Sort of like a cool movie!

Mountaindewed · Dec 29, 2021 at 02:39 AM

It took until 9 for me to fall asleep and then I woke up at 1:30. I was low on the caffeine. I took my normal meds. I think its just being out of that one since the 24th. I think it helped with my sleep a Iot because I don't know how many bad nights I've had recently since I ran out.

Nammu · Dec 29, 2021 at 12:40 PM

Still not sleeping. Last night I tried meditating and building an dog crate. Just a simple square frame with black wire. It took concentration to weld it together. But then my mind took over the project when I had the sides and bottom assembled and I was using a hot glue gun. Never the less it worked, I do feel less ragey today despite the lack of sleep and the buzzing white noise in my head.

Breaking Dawn · Dec 29, 2021 at 01:15 PM

Still mostly naps here & there. Like most of you, I yearn for a good night's sleep & to wake up feeling refreshed, & to feel energy!! I dream.

~Christina · Dec 29, 2021 at 04:04 PM

Sleep but very broken and I’m just miserable from this URI.

Sleepy germ free hugs

I slept soundly from 6-3:30 and then off and on until 7. Yeah being without that geodon sure was an issue.

Mountaindewed · 05:06 AM

I woke up around 1:15 because I was hungry. I ate some pretzel Goldfish so I feel ok right now but still not very tired.

I feel ok physically unlike yesterday evening so I think I just get really stressed out at night.

Breaking Dawn · Jan 01, 2022 at 10:58 AM

I think I slept 2 or 3 hours this morning, which helped me feel better than recently.
