True Story: Mulder & Scully Talked to Me

[bella_fox]

So, I may have mentioned a few billion times that I have horrible, horrible insomnia. I've been a bad sleeper my entire life, but it's never been as bad as it now. I think my current degree of sleeplessness is due to the perfect storm of stress and general feel-shittyness because ... well ... I generally feel shitty these days. There's so much

Oh wow. I'll never say anything against my occasional insomnia again, it's nothing compared to yours O.o This just sucks *hugs*

The second tag to this entry has to be my all time favourite from now on ;)

[bella_fox]

LOL... it's my favorite, too. And, sadly, it's not the only post wearing it.

Wow, that's some crazy shit right there. I've done the picking up another object thinking it was something else before when sleep deprived. I picked up the TV remote, thinking it was my alarm clock, then was confused because I was pressing the 'snooze button', yet the alarm was still buzzing. Took me a good minute to realise what I was doing.

Once, I was lying in bed in that weird fugue state of half-consciousness, sort of watching the X-Files with one eye -- and, I swear to God, I thought Mulder and Scully were talking to me. Being polite, I replied, of course -- but they proceeded to ignore me after that.

ROFL!

Ahahahaha... your avatar... it's talking to me.

I would die if Mulder ignored me :)

I will NEVER complain about my insomnia again! I have never hallucinated but apparently I did eat a truckload of chocolate cake once and not remember. I woke up with what looked like shit smears all over my face, which thankfully turned out to be icing :)

*hugs, hugs, hugs*

Oh, Jo, that is so horrifying! LOL

Once, I woke up with my own pajama pants on my stomach -- and they were piled as though someone had stepped on me and dropped the pants, then stepped out of them and left.

I'm a freak.

[paletendril]

Oh shit that made me laugh!!! You are a freak but I love you dearly anyway *laughs*. I'm a freak too, just in not so cool ways as you are.

[bella_fox]

LOL! My freakiness, it knows no bounds. You know this all too well.

Is there nothing you can do about it? I know there are alternative treatments like acupuncture and... well... I don't know... tea and stuff.

I couldn't live with the thought that Scully ignored me and didn't want to be my BFF. I would be her faithful Girl Friday and worship her from afar.

I hope so. I'm working with my doctors, but it's rough. I've tried every sleep medication out there, I think. The autoimmune disorder that I was just diagnosed with can cause sleep dysfunction on a neurological level, so couple it with stress and it becomes a disaster. And, I can't try herbal remedies like melatonin because I can't take anything that will make my immune system go into overdrive -- and melatonin boosts immune systems. I may end up trying acupuncture and tea. ;)

Also, if I can get my aches and pains under control, it would help some.

I knew you'd feel the pain of being ignored by Scully. The wound, it goes deep.
