starrieskies , WTH?! I wouldn't go anymore, either!

It would be a little bit easier if she would try to do these things on a Saturday, instead of a Sunday.  She just doesn't seem to realize that since they moved 45 minutes away from everyone else (an hour from me), it makes things a little bit more difficult and it means that I actually have to PLAN to be there, rather than just taking a 15 minute drive down the road.  And then to be treated rudely, and have to drive an hour back?  No thanks.  She doesn't seem to get it.  Her response was, "Well, we werent' sure if you were coming and everyone else was here, so we decided to eat earlier."  Um, if I say I'm going to be there, I'm going to be there.

Yay spindle92! That's terrific news!

Hugs, starrieskies. That sounds so frustrating, and I don't blame you one bit for feeling the way that you do.

I have been really tired this week, and I don't really know why. I guess I just haven't been sleeping well lately. Plus, today feels like a Friday, but it's not. Why? This is unacceptable.

So my doctor prescribed me some sleeping pills today. He took one look at me when he walked in the office and it was the first question he asked - how was I sleeping. I knew I had been having trouble sleeping, but dang if it's showing all over my face. Things are so good with A, but I still always feel stressed/anxious that he will turn into someone I don't recognize. I know this is some type of PTSD from what I experienced in my marriage and it is getting easier, but I wish I didn't feel so stressed out about it like this still after almost 6 months. It's easier to not be stressed when he is around and we are together because I can constantly see his behavior and actions and body language. I feel like I'm in my head all the time worried about this when he is not around. I'm hoping this will get easier when he does move closer and we're around each other more frequently/living together.

I don't think there's anything underlying here that I'm missing and no red flags with his behavior, I just think my brain was so fu@ked up believing words over actions and being controlled/passive aggressively put down by a manipulator for so long. Ugh.

doglove does your fitbit have the ability to track your sleep? I'm curious how accurate that is, Mr. PPD's fitbit tells him he sleep for 5 minutes each night (OK exaggeration) when he is in bed for hours.

Yes - I try to go to bed every night at 10pm and wake up about 6, but I toss and turn all night so it regularly says 5 hours and some change. A lot of times I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. A lot of this seems to be anxiety driven too though stressing over things I can't really control.

I hope the meds help you, I think i might have mr.ppd make an appointment with a specialist of some kind because he does the same thing and his regular doc was just like meh try benadryl. 

Ugh that's frustrating, especially because for some people - benadryl or any anti-histamine does the opposite and makes you feel restless. I know for me it does. TBH I was taking a dose of my xanax (maybe 1-2 times a week) as a sleep aid when I've gone for days in a row with restless sleep, so I'm glad he noticed how I was looking and prescribed me something similar in the benzo family. It'll help with my anxieties at night and sleeping.

He still has some swelling that stubbornly refuses to go down, but he's walking (and much to my annoyance, leaping in his field) in total comfort. I wish he'd stay nice and calm and quiet, but I'm really glad he's not in pain.SaveSave
