It is really nice here, kind of laid back but supportive and tolerant of different experiences and points of view. :)

Hi Sparky,

As you should know, everyone is welcome at NeuroTalk ;)

Sometimes the best way to deal with those things causing stress is to step back and put some distance between yourself and whatever is causing the stress.

You can sometimes get a better perspective and calm when stepping away from the source. Finding things that occupy your mind and body helps.

Good ideas, Snoopy! Wish I could distance myself from my brain at times. It's the worst when trying to sleep. I try to sing songs in my head but they turn into snide memos, hypocritical phone calls, all the things I wish I'd done differently, etc.

Woke up at 3am this morning and the only thing that helped me get back to sleep was my kitty, curling up under the covers and purring in my ear. Very calming.

Kitty and tkrik, thank you for the welcomes!

Debbie, it is getting easier every day. :)

There are times, awake or trying to sleep when my thoughts go places I would rather not go. For my own sanity I use Klonopin (a Benzo) at those times.

Thanks, KarenN! And Twink, I was so happy to see my bubbling brain again! :D

Snoopy, I'm about to take a Valerian Root capsule and go to bed. :Yawn:
