I'm ok @Former-Member . thanks for asking !

Hoping to sleep better tonight.

I have psychiatrist appointment tomorrow but its the last appointment of the day at 4.30pm but I am going out for lunch tomorrow.

Thanks @Former-Member

I think that is a brilliant idea - I was seeing a psychologist and I still have a Health Care Plan - you can get an extra four visits - and I have those four visits

It is still traumatic that I was in a car accident and my son died two days - not two years - after that - and the flashbacks are unbearable - but not so dark all these years later that I am not prepared to visit them if someone can practise this.

I will look into this - I am leaving some space between my last psychologist moving back to Sydney - how hard it must have been for her having built up a Melbourne practice and then having to go back to start again - and my doctor had referred patients to her because I said she was good,

My decision might have been different I think - but we are all different

I often wonder about REM sleep - we are dreaming when we do this - and I have heard it is the brain sorting out our day to day issues - but I had not thought about the intrusive issues of PTSD impinging into the normal process. My cat shares my bed and I have noticed her dreaming - and wonder what she can possibly dream about - sometimes she has nightmares and I wake her up - maybe our flashback in our sleep cause nightmares

But I have watched my cat and she has rapid eye movements when she is dreaming - and her paws twitch and she sometimes seems to chew - I would love to know what goes on in that mind

The idea of such a primal idea that cats dream - and I have heard that dogs do to - so it is in a very basic part of our mamalian brain - and this gives me the idea that it really could work and I am interested in this

I also have private medical cover so I can use my medical insurance to continue if this works for me - this is a brilliant idea

Yes @TAB

But were you only 3 years old?

My mother sewed bells into my brother's slippers - I never had them - but then he was inclined to get into mischief - like my son - and when the noise stops - mother notices

I don't know what you are talking about ?? @Decadian if you mean something I said this afternoon about a wagon, it was playing on your squeaky bicycle reference, and the saying 'fixing someones wagon' I was talking about me 'fixing my own wagon' Today. Inference was self-sabotage ..

Yes, there was a 'today' in it. And yes, it was idiomatic, @Decadian ..any hoo..

Sorry @TAB

My mistake - my reference was to my neighbour using her oil can to fix the squeaky wheel on my son's tricycle when he was outside in the street - he was not inclined to be a good boy much - even at 3 - so I was annoyed when my neighbour fixed the squeaky wheel because I could hear it and knew what he was doing

But "fixing your own wagon" - yes - that is quite a different subject - it's getting late I think
