Hey all, I need tips on how to sleep without curling all my limbs! haha I try to fall asleep on my back with my limbs straight, but I always end up in the fetal position with my arms bent under myself, shoulders curled in, head tucked, and knees bent. My muscles are so sore and tense from the heat and picking up being active again. Any tips?

"We are like the dreamer who dreams, and then lives inside the dream. But who is the dreamer?"
The questions of echoes, perception, consciousness, and existence in this video viewed through the lens of everyday events makes life dream-like.
Twin Peaks has the most themes from this video, but I watched Inland Empire last night, which also melds well with these concepts. But when you sit back and look at the themes in Lynch's work, dreams and unconscious are everything. Being aware, but also detached and unaware of the complete truth. Meditation, which Lynch loved and said was his biggest creative tool, way be the closest we get to letting go of our perception biases and into the truth of the unconscious.
What do you think about the scientific and mystical themes within Lynch's work? What references have you noticed? I think Lynch really liked Carl Jung, if you ask me. Jung did a lot of dream work in his practice, and I always feel like I am listening to Lynch when I read about Jung.
I want to support local small businesses, but it is hard to find places just from online search.
Looking for home items, clothes, even food. Specifically, I've been searching for local bee-wax candles!
(I know the farmers market happening right now, but I also want ways to purchase from local companies year round!)
Thanks for the downvotes y'all? When did the cities get so mean?
How can I meet people and make friends without being active? Haha all I see is recommendations to join sports, and I really cannot do that comfortably.
What are other activities or events that I could go to?
All I want is an effective as needed medication i.e. a benzo. because I know it is the only thing to calm my occasional panic attacks. I have GAD, but honestly, I don't need every day meds. I have been off them for years at a time and been fine. I have CPTSD, so sometimes when life events happen... it gets bad for me. But having a support system works so much better for me than taking drugs. Plus, I'm bad at taking drugs on schedule, and I have had lots of side effects from antidepressants. I'm also a medical marijuana patient and that does wonders for my everyday needs. I saw a psychiatrist today, and he was saying its not good for anxiety and is "making my anxiety worse." I know what strains work for me, and only get anxiety when I smoke if I am actively anxious and trying to fix it. But also, anxiety is good!! I need to be able to feel something some time. Every time I have been on an antidepressant, I get numb. I don't want to be medicated and numb. I just want an as needed!!
How do I get doctors to listen to me when I say that I do not want to be medicated, I just want a good as needed to have available to refill? Idc, limit my refills, I can be responsible. Lorazepam .5 has been effective, but it is such a low dose that sometimes it barely takes the panic attack away.
Can anyone give any tips on how I can better express this to my doctors? Do I need new doctors?
I have stress-induced IBS, but I do also have food related triggers. I can only eat FODMAP these days. I have been on ami for almost 3 weeks now, and I am frustrated with how uncomfortable my stomach and intestines have been. I have been constipated, bloated, nauseous, and am having issues eating many of my normal foods. When I drink water by itself, I have been burping up stomach acid. I know I need to build it up in my system more to give it a proper chance, and I will try, but I am more uncomfortable than before starting these meds. I had my stomach in a stable state...
Edit: also been having sinus issues? Just me? I had them before, but its been a constant flare since starting ami.
I used to work for goodwill... I recently quit because my workplace was making me suicidal. I was being harassed by an ex-employee in store regularly, and corporate did nothing to secure my safety. When I told HR about my mental health state, all they said was, "Okay, thanks for letting us know." I haven't heard from the bastards since, so in case you were wondering if goodwill cares if their employees live or die, they don't.
