> Can you write a letter to T using stream of consciousness at the moment when you feel the wave of anxiety? Or you can spew it on babble? Anything to get a release of nervous tension?
*** Usually my computer isn't on at that point. And I'm afraid that might make me more upset because when I've done stream of consciousness stuff before it took me into some very upsetting places. So it's a good idea, I'm just not sure. I'll maybe ask my T what he thinks.
> What kinda sleeping pills?Unisom sleepgels, it's something close to what's in Benadryl. I don't know how often you can take Xanax is the problem - I don't get a hangover, and I wake up nice and relaxed, but I absolutely don't want any chance of getting addicted.
> I hope you can sort through this with T too. are you pushing away any big thoughts? when I do this (like right now) it gives me anxiety that shows up when my mind relaxes (like right before bedtime)
**** No big thoughts that I'm conscious of. But it's quite possible something is going on unconsciously. Quite possible indeed. And I don't like the idea of that, because whatever it is is likely to be big and upsetting.
Thanks ll! I hope you're able to sleep tonight as well.
