    Mistakes I have made in the past. Fears about my future what little there is left of it.  This post was edited by Art Lover at May 13, 2020 6:11 PM MDT

    The past can't be undone and the future is not necessarily within your control, so why worry about them?

    I try to think of those things a lot, too. It helps me.

    There are a few open wounds that will never heal. Those wounds I think about every waking and/or sleeping moment. This post was edited by Zack at May 13, 2020 6:11 PM MDT

    Every year or so, I seem to get a neutral dream concerning my old business building that was in a somewhat bad part of town. There were various wacko types and gangs around the neighborhood. Creepy at night. I sold the place some 25 years ago, and the new owner had a nice new building put up. Yet it still bothers me that somehow I escaped that neighborhood without being robbed or even shot.

      Seems like survivor’s guilt.

    Post-menopausal hot flushes.
    I'm one of the unlucky ones.
    They wake me in a sweat - sometimes impossible to get back to sleep.
    Then I'm a walking zombie the next day.

    Yeah. It s*cks.
    I've become amazingly stoic about sleep deprivation.
    I'm aware of how it affects immunity and longevity, but all attempts at solutions have failed.
    Have accepted that I'm a chronic insomniac.

      How many months or years have you had insomnia?

    Since menopause at 50, that makes it 13 years. This post was edited by inky at May 13, 2020 6:12 PM MDT

      It hasn’t let up since it started? (Well, I guess it’s changed a lot over the years without ever having disappeared completely. It’s probably dissipated and increased in varying degrees like the ebb and flow of the tide, right?)

    No, I’m lucky in that I can decide what time I want to go to sleep and as long as I shutdown all my distraction 15 minutes before, I’m out and always have good sleeps.
