Cellar Door, for obvious reasons...
And Pocket, because of the way it sounds when you repeat it super fast. Poketpocketpocket.

@Tsundererra: I never fully sleep, because narcolepsy is fun like that, but I finally got five hours in last night. It feels so great.


@Unicorn: Thats all very good advice. I wish eating bland foods kept me from getting heartburn but literally everything I put in my body gives me the worst heartburn ever. I had the acid reflux disease before pregnancy, and this is by far worse. Everything I read says that means I'm going to have a hairy baby lol. I guess that makes sense, me and my hubby are a bunch of hairy metal heads. Our kid will uphold the legacy :viotongue:

@kegs: I have a long body pillow, its good for falling asleep with, but I usually end up flopping onto my back and having it pin me lol. I had the best luck tonight lying on my uncomfortable couch. Having the back of the couch to lean on while I'm on my side, and having it help prop my knees up when I'm on my back, seems to be the best way for me to sleep these days. I got a whole three hours in a row on that stiff dang couch and I'm so greatful

@Miss Sandman: Oh I figured it would get worse, I'm only half way there! To top it off, I'm pretty sure I woke up with a cold. Boo.

@Tsundererra: I have mentioned it to my doctor and she just said yep that's how it goes XD
I've got a book with hints and tips about it but it's mostly common sense stuff like "try sleeping on your side" or "eat dinner earlier". I try my hardest to do those but sometimes it's out if my control :p

Already they won't let me sleep for more than two hours in a row, and they're not even born yet! Ha, I guess this is practice for five months from now. It's just super difficult combined with my narcolepsy because it's even harder to stay awake during the day and it occasionally gives me horrible migraines. Sometimes I just randomly wake up, and usually I can fall right back to sleep, but tonight it's been everything from heartburn to physical discomfort- my baby is half a pound now, no sleep position works . Plus, narcolepsy means I'm never fully asleep so I just feel like I'm lying there with mild hallucinations.

What do you folks do when you can't sleep? How do you cope with responsibility the next day?

I still listen to the same oldschool metal now that I did back then. It hasn't lost anything with time. I listen to new stuff, too, but... its hard to get nostalgia from something you never stopped doing

I'm so happy for you! I hope you're able to rest and recover my friend.

I used to work at and manage a Thrift store. There were rules about items having to be on the floor for a few hours before you could buy it, but it wasn't hard to get exactly what you wanted from the donations. When I first started, they would give us vouchers as incentive (and instead of raises :/ ) and I would save mine up to get the cool stuff. The day I got a pair of $100+ Harley Davidson boots for free, they stopped giving me vouchers XD
My style was never as on point since I left there, but my sanity is much better <3

@kegs: So I took some time to try to find you some good resources. Here is a wiki link about being aromantic: http://wiki.asexuality.org/Aromantic which sounds like it may be what you're experiencing, but really only you know that for sure. Hopefully it can be a good starting point for getting to know who you are, even if you find out it doesn't apply. You don't have to live up to anyone elses standards but yours. Do and be what makes you happy

It might help you to do some research on things like different types of attraction and relationships. You don't have to be with the person society expects you to. You don't have to be with anyone at all. Or you could be with as many people as you want, in whatever level of commitment you want. (as long as everyone is being honest <3 ) I know people who are far more content around animals than humans, and have made their pets their family. They're just as fulfilled as people in traditional relationships. Perhaps you just need a less traditional relationship type, and being tied to societies expectations are preventing you from finding happiness.
Its also worth noting that you should never feel bad for not loving someone. You can't force that sort of thing. A lot of people try and are miserable. You really did yourself and your partner/s a huge favor by being honest about how you feel. You're both free to try your own paths.

@Scribartz: Breakups suck no matter what kind. Its like ending a chapter of your life's story. Hopefully the next chapter will be as good if not better than the ones before it. But I agree with Totalanimefan. Feel those feelings, when you can. Crying and screaming can be so therapeutic. Put on some moody music and focus on you <3
Posted in It’s that time again... Posted 5 years ago
Hey. You can talk to us <3 What kind of stuff are you dealing with?
I hate how mental obstacles can have physical manifestations. Like we don't have enough problems ffs.
Posted in Glinda....... Posted 5 years ago
You poor thing! Isn't Glinda a good witch, though? Why would a good witch mock you? Am I missing a new pop-culture reference? Either way, that'd be a cute name.
