Over the past month or so, more in November than recently, I mentioned drink a glass of wine on nights that I couldn't get to sleep otherwise.The sleep meds did not work for me for some reason, and we had already discussed that they did not work and I usually had an adverse reaction.
I tried:
Trazodone, Ambien, Lunesta, Klonopin, Benedryl, Ativan, and Tylenol PM.She would always gently disapprove of me drinking the glass of wine by saying "it could lead to dependency". I understood that but said I disapproved of being a sleep aid guinea pig and would rather enjoy a glass of wine, which worked, rather than waste money on meds that didn't.
She said I had to be careful because my father had a drinking problem. It wasn't my father it was my uncle, so I had to correct her. But she said it was still in my family history. I think she created confusion in her own mind esp with the father vs uncle. I definitely told her uncle when we reviewed my family history bc my father died from cancer, and never had a drinking problem.
I don't and can't drink nightly, it's too expensive and I don't care about it that much. My sleep is much better now.
I never drink to the point where I'm drunk. Which would be too costly too since I'm a big girl; I can't imagine how much wine it would take in my system to get me to the point of inebriation.
Now I'm angry that she has flat out accused me of this. I haven't bought wine in a while and I don't feel like I miss or need it, so where's the dependency?
I think she has a past that had substance abuse in it either with herself or with a family member and it's bc of those ghosts that she is so wary.
She also mentioned once that she was "afraid of cupcakes" because they're addictive. And another time we were talking about poker and she said that she does NOT play cards of any kind, and shook her head furiously.
I'm thinking she has ghosts in her closet that she's projecting onto me.
