so do i... a longer acting one, it's an anxiolytic type like klonopin but even more long acting. initially or with dose increases it makes me sleepy but i'm used to it now.

lorazepam i am supposed to use prn... i can use it if i need to but i tend to "save" it for anxiety attacks or severe insomnia when, say i have to be up and rested. tonight i think i'd rather stay up and go to sleep when i feel tired.

it's nice and peaceful now. (in contrast to daytime.)

yeah, a lot of it is about avoiding negative stimuli for me, too. that includes many sounds, tv, loud talking, general outdoor traffic and people noises (nature is ok). i am awake at night mostly now. it is quiet. and nobody asks me anything or watches tv or tries to plan food or outings or get information from me.

and i also can't stand decisions right now.
-- do you want this piece of chicken or the other one?
-- i don't care, either one.
-- no no, pick one.
-- any.
-- come on, decide!!! (and gets mad!)
-- argghhhH! sigh. flip a coin. anything. just don't make me pick.

decisions = major anxiety surge. do you get that too?

i guess your kitty cat doesn't try to make you decide too much stuff, huh?

Me to. It's hard to make decisions when I'm feeling anxiety. It's also hard to take the initiative to do things when I'm loaded down with burdens,and anxiety pain. I dislike my condition.

I use to dislike myself,but I now realize that I didn't choose these mental health problems,and they don't make me worth more,or less then anybody else.

Live. Keep living. Hold on to life. Hold on to your identity. Hold on to God. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Waves,
I love the nighttime. It is magical . . . or at least it has the potential for magic.

M.

Yes, I too love the night. Did, even as a baby.
So tonight I'm up, enjoying the relative "cool" of 78F.
I've got the place opened up wide so can hear toads, frogs, night birds. What a group of noise makers!

I'll help release birds at 6:30, go to sleep after.

Did you see Phantom of the Opera? There's this song: "the Music of the Night" & it captures that feeling of potential magic.

blue car gal, what do you mean release birds????

i assumed she meant wait for them to wake up.

unless she keeps birdies and has them covered for the night, and needs to uncover them then.

hmmm.... now you got me wondering too....

:Scratch-Head:

Oh, guys, release is just release.

There are lots of rescue groups around including individuals that rehab injured birds. Seabirds ready to return to the wild are traditionally released at dawn (or shortly after). Carried out to water's edge,released, thrown food, then hopefully beaten back inside. That's why they're fed after release.

They seldom want to leave. Many come back & roost on the roof of the structure at night. As light as a single bird is, the combined weight of the returnees got so great we had to reinforce the roof.

Thanks for the giggleshttp://www.myemoticons.com/emoticons...ods/giggle.gif, you two.:hug:

ahhhh, enlightened and uplifted

thanks BCG, for doing that.

and just thinking of it is uplifting... rather fitting, eh, since we're talking birds... ;)

sigh
