2. Thanks


Since the lovely little nightmare I had precludes any more sleep, I'm hauling crap from my house through the quiet suburban darkness, down the road between my driveways, and setting it out for a yard sale. And waiting for the cops to come along and ask me why I am carrying a microwave down the street at 4 in the morning.
 
Better than doing nothing.

6. And just to make life complete.



I now have the big lime green aura with black center in my field of vision which is the marker of an oncoming migraine. Plus I feel like I'm going to be puking in about 3 minutes. I had to turn the brightness level on the screen to about 20 % and sit in a really dark corner of the yard to see well enough to post.

Another one with P.T.S.D. - what gave Dennis his? Opening the last credit card bill?

He/she/it is probably hoping for SSI. All this "PTSD" bullshit for a meal ticket is getting out of hand.

I'm sorry. I struggle with intrusive memories, too, and I know it's hell. I wish I could do something for you.

An article I read recently about dealing with this suggested changing your sensory input -- sniffing something with a strong fragrance, doing a physical task, etc. I don't know if that would help you or not, but I do get a little relief that way.

Doing a physical task?  Nah, that sounds too much like work.

I had a migraine too today (with aura), I stayed off the computer and slept it off DUmmie.

Dennis hasn't opened a credit card bill in months.

The last time he opened one, it put him in the loony bin and he nearly lost his job.

He just sends them a big chunk of his income every month.

Well, you get a hug and a kiss from me.
