How's Everyone Feeling Right Meow?

[Thumpalumpacus]

For me, there ain't nothing better than waking up with my woman in my arms. Another bedroom may as well be another house.

I'm feeling like this damnable pain is going to keep me awake all night long. Again.

I'll be here for a couple more hours if you need to yell at someone. Let me go fetch another mineral water, light a smoke, and put on my helmet.

In seriousness, sorry you're having a rough night, and I wish I could offer more than easy words in an Internet post.

Well, ain't this all topsy-turvy? 
The ladies wanna stretch out and have their 'space' , and the fellas wanna snuggle all night long.

That is adorable.

Changing my vote, dammit. I'm pulling for Team Snuggle now.

I love snuggling. I always try to maintain some degree of body contact with my love the whole night.

I'm feeling like the cocktail of tramadol, anti-convulsants, anti-inflammatories, a sedative and weed will put me to sleep. Not holding my breath though. Hurts so bad I can't think of much else.

Thing is, I find with chronic pain second guessing myself (come on, CD. Don't be a wimp, how bad could it be?). Bad enough to deny me sleep, and I'm prone to bad mood swings and eventually psychosis when that happens. Nobody in a position to do anything about it appears to give a fuck. I know that last part isn't true - they're bound by policy - but it *feels* that way. The individual providers, doctors, nurses, and assistants have all been warm, compassionate people. But policy is affecting my health. I don't know any more about my condition that when I started seeking treatment again six months ago. I know a little more about what it's not. It's all frustrating.

I know I've been venting on this a lot the last few days but I'm just at wits end.

I think sleep is just around the corner.

Living with chronic pain as I do, I cannot imagine this level of it. I can feel my pain in my sleep, but at least I can sleep.

I guess the only thing I can do to help, and it's probably a long shot, is to tell you to quit downing on yourself. It takes a tough motherfucker to get through your days.

I think that's good advice. This shit just about drove me to suicide, from 2012 to 2015 I had zero fucks to give and was basically slowly killing myself. Pretty sure I've never revealed that here.

If I'm nothing else, I'm a survivor and ain't nothing going to kill this motherfucker if I can help it.
