pointless crud + a couple of questions (long)
Question:
There is a dog (yapper) barking incessantly across the way. Not loud enough to keep me awake. Just loud enough to be heard. I’ve been listening (well not actively) to it for about two hours now. Wonder what people think of when they put a dog like that outside for the night. Probably they’re thinking "we’re not home so it isn’t bothering us" My dog is sleeping peacefully. My husband is sleeping maybe not so peacefully (work stress). My kids is off to the ex’s for the week. I’m wide awake. I’ve had five atarax. I was told I could take that many. I could guarantee sleep if I just popped an Ambien. But I just wish I didn’t have to do that. Atarax at least is just an antihistamine. So does anyone know what class of drug Ambien falls into? My doc said "tranq-like". What does that mean? Not as addictive supposedly. *As* addictive. I’ve only been taking it for a bit over a week. Still got the damn ants-crawling feeling but less so. Meerkat’s capsaicin cream suggestion helped but I honestly haven’t taken the time to try the other methods. Lazy bum. I’m feeling marginally less crashy now. Although I wouldn’t be posting such boring garbage if I were completely out of the woods. I just have to get through tomorrow and all will be allright. Made the mistake of watching X-files tonight. I never watch it. Oh, I’ve sat through 5 or 10 minutes of it before. Tonight I watched almost the entire thing. Found it frustrating emotionally and wondered why so many people are hooked on it. Does it always end so ambiguously? Is that its appeal? Why the HELL am I rambling like this? Guess I’ll try to call it a night. Need to rant and rave. Need to tell everyone on asd about my life and what hell I’ve been through and how that hell is in the past now. This is just purgatory. But I can’t. So frustrating that I can’t tell you all what brought me here in the first place. Some folks know. But I want to vent it to everyone. And I can’t because *the ex* from hell could be looking over my shoulder with his own little hell.

*hugs* you’re not a whiner. ambien’s an anxiolytic that, like all anxiolytics, affects the gamma-aminoobutyric acid receptor (a small subset of the GABA-a receptors, specifically). however, it’s not one of the benzodiazepines, and lacks significant anxiolytic and muscle relaxant properties (it’s used for short-term insomnia). according to my book (1995 ed. of _handbook of psychiatric drug therapy_), its potential for habit-formation has yet to be determined. brooke — it doesn’t matter if we all die ~cure http://don.skidmore.edu/~bmiller/

Well, KCat, I wish you could spill it all too. I know the feeling. And you aren’t a whiner. When the big things get silenced the little things drive you crazy. Like the barking dog and the rude neighbors who can’t seem to hear the noise. And the physical stuff that is always there like a mosquito buzzing near your ear. Oh, well, who is rambling now.
