PTSD Insomnia Triggered-Support Welcome
mujicaptsd
The stress of the Social Security check triggered my PTSD last night such that I lay in bed awake for 3 hours. At first I took 2 melatonin, then after an hour 1 more, then another after an hour, and another for a total of 5. Fortunately at least then I did get to sleep. Today I called their number 25 times and waited on hold every time without ever getting through to anyone. I'll try again tomorrow, hoping I don't get triggered into PTSD insomnia again tonight. Support welcome.

My friend invited me out for lunch at this nice, clean sit-in place, where I got to order a salad of my choice with two chicken toppings out of a wall-mounted variety. I don't remember the name of the place. However, it was a nice experience. Thereafter, we headed down to one of my favorite dessert destinations, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in McAllen. It had been a while since we just...

Jay's podcasts are really good. I watch them on YouTube for free. Today, I watched his video about motivation. In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject. Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence: I am stuck because? I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired. When I have energy, I do...

Im glad that you eventually get some rest
I hope that you get some answers and satisfaction soon...xo
Some nights I sleep great, Except when I get up to use the bathroom, Then can't get back to sleep,
As for Social Security, They are hard to deal with, I had to "jump through hoops" Just to have it re-directed into a new checking account, I tried to do it myself, But they said they needed to speak the trustee (Which is my mother, Cause I still live at home)
But, I'm the Beneficiary, So, I don't understand that.
I spent all day on hold via phone. Now I just sent an email to an address they offered to those of us on hold. I can't think of anything else to do right now. If any of you can, I'm all ears. Thanks for your support. I really depend on this income.
Doing things in a timely manner, has always been a problem for me.
Thank goodness, because I'm not making good headway getting this Social Security office to rectify its error and here it is 1 week away from a new month and therefore a new month's rent.
