insomnia

Sometimes I have a really hard time sleeping, usually because of anxiety. I hadn't had that for a while because of my medication, but now that I'm off of it, the tough things are coming back.

It helps being able to sleep next to Jesse, but it doesn't work as well when he's already asleep by the time I go to bed, and he has to work in the morning, so I'd feel awful waking him up and asking him to make me feel better. (The exception is those times where I just burst into tears or start having panic attacks.)

It hasn't been TOO bad yet, but I remember a little over a year ago, when it felt like there were monsters lurking around every dark corner of my room, waiting for my defenses to be lowered so they could start ripping apart my brain. (Figuratively.) I spent a lot of time suddenly panicking to turn the light on and make sure nothing was there.

I live somewhere else now. It helps. So does the dog, furry little alarm that he is. ♥
