I’m halfway excited about the possibility of an answer but also scared. I don’t have near the GI issues that some do, but I feel like I live in such a delicate balance with trauma, GI issues, ADHD, and very difficult coparenting. Currently laying in a dark room with a migraine and exhaustion. probably bc I wore a ponytail plus tired myself out with an errand. hopeful things could be better if I have an answer to my health issues and consequently things that I can work on

Had a sleep Dr appt today. ended up taking 1.25 hours. i ask for details bc i need to understand what the dr is suggesting but also bc i don’t have the time or desire to explain hurdles with some of the solutions she proposed.

for example, she recommended ambien as one solution but i really don’t feel comfortable with the possible side effects, it would play into my past intrusive thoughts of doing something terrible while sleepwalking, and doing a trial run safely (to avoid real risks) would take a lot more energy and effort as a single mom. I wanted to walk through the other options.

i feel like I’m standing my ground politely without needing to disclose everything in my life. my dad commented that i often come across as shooting down other’s ideas or attempts to help. The dr was kind and polite throughout but definitely needed to run right at the end.

Not looking for opinions, looking for facts.

my child just shared that while they were at their ymca program and changing in a public locker room for swimming, there was an older, same sex person sitting there naked. it doesn’t sound like there was any interaction. it doesn’t sound like it happened at the ymca itself.

I’m feeling uncomfortable with this, especially since it was under the watch of the ymca staff. but I could be letting my fears get to me.
