Is there anything in particular that regularly haunts you while you try to sleep? ~

 But . . .

Lol no, those are my morning coffee thoughts, not middle of night thoughts. 

Why? Are you afraid of the wrath of Randy?

Absolutely!!!
If I don't write and read well, I feel I have let him down...
Besides, he has his Harem and much more power than I.
He's like George Clooney and I'm like Mr. Bean.

Sometimes saying the wrong thing has terrible consequences.
Perhaps he regrets what happened as a result of her reaction.

Yeah, right.

Of what, my friend?

It's hard for me to explain. I don't want to sound as if I'm looking for sympathy. (I've been accused of that before.)
But I got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) years ago. (My doctor and I worked together over time and he considered varying conditions that might be causing my 'issues' and I think he got this diagnosis right -- he eliminated  various other possibilities before arriving at this one.)
Though I've not found a great definition for GAD, for me, it's like a free-floating, (potentially constant) sense of anxiety and worry about nothing specific -- not like a phobia at all, where there is one specific fear -- GAD seems to just float around all the time and I sometimes allow the fear to attach itself to various thoughts I might get - - many times my uneasiness centers around fears that other people are mad at me.

Here is list I found about it, too:

Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms can vary. They may include:

• Persistent worrying or anxiety about a number of areas that are out of proportion to the impact of the events
• Overthinking plans and solutions to all possible worst-case outcomes
• Perceiving situations and events as threatening, even when they aren't
• Difficulty handling uncertainty
• Indecisiveness and fear of making the wrong decision
• Inability to set aside or let go of a worry
• Inability to relax, feeling restless, and feeling keyed up or on edge

I'm not so satisfied with my answer to your question, but I tried, ha! Thank you for being caring in your question to me. :)

Can I post a silly cure? (that may actually work.)

Sure. :)

Maybe the man and the weed. LOL

Yes! :)

And you know what? I should've posted what I deleted after I wrote up there :  "Sure. :) "

I was also going to post that I think I'd be a perfect candidate for medical marijuana. And, you're not the first to suggest this to me.
I have some great close friends --  some have suggested I try weed, too. Maybe I could more seriously consider it.

And I'm all for trying out that guy, too!  :)

Thanks, again, my friend.
:)

Glad I could help. It helps my pain, but I have to get it from MI.

You did help, thanks.
:)

I was  -- and continue to be, sort of - - a bit uncomfortable with what I posted about me and the GAD. But I'm going to leave my post there.
I may be a bit uncomfortable about what I shared but, at the same time, I was very comfortable in sharing with you, after your caring question to me. None of what I shared is anything about which to be ashamed.

Thank you again.
:)

(Interesting about MI, too)

;) :)!!

That was a great way to put it, huh? :) :)

And thanks for your like's for my posts on this thread, Merlin. :)
And, in case any of you might see this post, too --as I post at this moment, my same thanks for the same reason to SpunkySenior, Element 99, Randy D and Kittigate.
