Thanks everyone for your replies!

Makes me realize that there really are a whole laundry list of reasons and ways that sleep can be affected. It's so crazy. I think I kind of messed up my sleep schedule on top of it all, which definitely didn't help.

I'm hoping it's either just because I apparently have a SUPER small airway, causing lots of snoring. Though I don't like the idea of having to use a CPAP machine. They're kinda loud and I like to sleep on my sides. I feel like I snore more on my back. Dunno. But I have a doc appt tomorrow and I gotta look into the sleep test I suppose. I'm kinda spooked about it tbh.

Wildfire, That's a good point. My hormones def are whacked, but I'm on BC now which has been helping; I wouldn't be surprised if I needed vitamins too, haha. Maybe I should sign up for that like vitamin delivery service - they're usually so expensive so I didn't buy any the last time I was suggested a specific one (by my doc), though she said it was mostly a small lack, nothing major.

Lina, thank you! I usually sleep like a rock, but it's the quality of it that's lost. It feels like most days, (3-4 a week) I'm exhausted all day even though I slept 9 hours (I tried lessening to 7 and 8 in case I was oversleeping, didn't help). I have to double check with my insurance but it does seem like a study will be my best bet. It's been like this for years, and didn't go away with adulthood/being done with college, so it's worth looking into so I can hopefully fix it and not live my life forever like this, haha. Insomnia is really rough - I'm glad you were able to mostly get to a better place on that!

Priestess, That makes total sense. The first few nights I tried CBD oil, I slept really well. Unfortunately it doesn't always work.

Shark, I'm not sure if I do have sleep apnea, like I feel like my breathing is consistent through the night - I never wake up with gasping for air or anything like that (save for a few times several years ago) , but I feel like I do show other symptoms of it... So def possible

Glume, No that totally makes sense. Sometimes it can be easy to self diagnose at times like that. I hope it gets better for you! That sounds really rough. ;-; I'm def gonna get one but im kinda dreading it OTL

My doctor said I need a sleep test. Worried about the cost.

I apparently have a SUPER small airway, so I snore and snore all night. It's possible that that is causing me to have awful sleep. I told her I suspect that I get too much REM sleep because my dreams are extremely vivid and feel like they last all night.

Most days are pretty ok. Days like today are really frustrating because I am so exhausted. And at work. So I can't do anything about it except for guzzle some coffee.

On a new depression med that might help too. We'll see.

Not sure why I am making a post about this, but I guess I wonder if anyone else has experienced this? How'd you get through it?

Two of my friends lost friends to depression this year. I haven't known what to do rather than be there for them... No matter the circumstance, it's so tragic. I wish you, your family, and their family some semblance of peace in the coming times. Eventually life will go on, but those lost will always be remembered and cherished.

Remember to take rests when you can - nothing is more exhausting than mental pain.

Ok so. I have never been in a relationship before but I have a friend who is in a rather similar situation, though she was/is fine with poly/open relationships and things had been going fine for a long time. Then he started lying and not telling her when he was meeting someone for a date, also lying to the people he was dating, saying he wasn't in a primary relationship (to get more swipes, apparently). Among a lot of other things. What your person is doing would be fine if he was being completely open and honest with YOU, giving you the opportunity to decide what you're okay with.
From a completely unattached opinion, it sounds like you might need someone monogamous who will make you the priority. And, there's nothing wrong in taking time to see what you're comfortable with. Good luck!

Congrats!!! I bet it feels pretty awesome to finally have her out of there. Make sure to take it as easy as you can for a while (must not be easy, considering there's now a baby to care for, but still!!)

I thought it looked kind of crazy so I haven't watched it yet. But I love bingeing reality stuff when I'm bored. Looks super stressful though haha. Maybe I'll give it a go.

I have only watched the first episode so far. It was really good! I need to watch the rest, but I'm so behind on a lot of other shows, so I'll catch up. I haven't read the books or played the games though.

Last one I watched was that weird dark comedy/mystery(???) movie with Anna Kendrick where she's a single mom who makes friends with this crazy rich lady. Can't remember the name, lol. It was pretty good. I definitely hadn't seen a movie like it before.

The cacophonous sounds of about 300 vintage arcade games going off all at once

@inatlaka: Thank you! <33

I have to say this one was pretty tough. Fun though!

Hiya, quick thread to sell my Aquarius. Or, I would happily trade it for Taurus. Thanks!
