Unkie, why is it that 10 minutes ago I felt wiped out, but now that I'm in bed, I feel wide awake?

 

You're in a lower-stress environment. Or, perhaps (and here I am invoking my gestalt-leaning therapeutic insight - such as it is) you have an association with bed that is lower stress. . . and it's completely backfiring on you with the medication.

You may need to do some guided imagery to get to sleep.

 

I've been thinking and kinda wonder...when I was drugged up, most of my computer time was spent in bed. That might've been a bad call, because now I think I associate my bed with the computer instead of sleeping? [And of course I'm ing in bed now ]

Definitely gonna do the guided imagery thing. There's one that has always worked - sometimes I have to restart it because it's hard to focus, but it's awesome.

 

is age really nothing but a number??

 

which is feared more spiders or snakes?

 

Not necessarily. 15 will get you 20.

 

The actual answer to this question depends on the severity of the anxiety and/or phobia towards each respective animal.

 

chicken or the egg?

 

Furious masturbation might work too.
