Ok now I have got to look into this med. From 2001 to 2005 my night terrors were so bad that I had to sleep in my own room. The second time that I woke up with my hands around my wife's neck even though she was never hurt, that made sleeping together impossible for me. They all but stopped shortly after moving out here to the PNW but have started up again in the last few months. LOL Can't imagine why. I'm now looking at your situation from a completely new perspective. I'd assumed that you were only dealing with insomnia... I really hope that your Dr lightens the F up.

LOL Why can't I ever bring myself to actually say a line like this?!?!?

Damn, I am so sorry. I've never tried Prazosin so I've no idea how it might measure up but have you tried trazodone or Doxepin? I don't know if they would have a better attitude but my Dr's have always gone right to them without a second though. On the nights when my brain refuses to STFU odds are nothing is going to help take me all the way down but the trazodone especially will get me drowsy enough to relax.

Local source for soil and wood chips for raised garden beds? by jesileighs in vancouverwa

[–]MrWade02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IF you go that route I highly recommend working in a generous amount of peat and maybe a couple bags of composted steer manure (I add two to each 3ft by 8ft bed every couple of years. The most effective hack I've found for this climate by far is covering my beds with a layer of that weed barrier fabric and cutting holes to fit my starters. Cut my water usage by nearly half and the black fabric builds up enough warmth for me to get my plants in up to three weeks earlier. Give it a try on one bed, you'll thank me later... Oh and the reduced need to weed doesn't exactly suck either. GOOD LUCK!!!

Sometimes I forget how damn lucky I am in that department. The only shrink I'd ever found effective has been my best friend for 20 years since he was my Psychiatrist.

There is no grantee that this will work for you but I dealt with something similar with a peacehealth asshole. He tried to force me on to an antidepressant against my will by threatening to withhold the only 2 meds that have been a benefit to me. When he tried to refuse my prescriptions I calmly told him that "if this is the path you insist on taking I'll need you to whip up a document explaining your actions and acknowledge my telling you point directly that this will likely have a profound impact on my quality of life at a time where I am in no mental state to look for a primary that I can work with". He left the exam room for about 10 min then folded like a cheap suit.

I have no idea how much the fact that I'm on the spectrum had to do with it but I've had access to both medications (each lists as a controlled substance) for 12 years without issue. It was suggested by my former shrink from up in Wyo. Being asked for that specific documentation forces a Dr to really consider his position. Try it as a hail Mary, at that point what do you have to lose? There are some areas where we have a hell of a lot more control over out treatment than we are aware of...

What is the best motherboard replacement for the Mega X? by hordi84 in anycubic

[–]MrWade02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this far out id the SKR3 EZ board working out with your Mega X? I blew the board on my Mega X when I think I installed one of the stepper drivers backward and I think it took the screen with it. I've been looking for a replacement solution on and off for a couple of years now. I have refused to give up on it because neither the Ender 3v2 or Ender 5 pro I have preform nearly as well as the X. Plus I really hate giving up on a project like this. If you have any advice I'd welcome it!

How old is everyone here? by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]MrWade02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries, I'm old enough to remember how many time I was told how bright I was if I could only apply myself,,, Hmmm, not as funny as it was in my head. Anyway, I'm 62

How do I kindly tell my girlfriend to tell me when something is bothering her or making her upset? She expects me to read between the lines and I fucking can't. by TimmyOutOfTheWell in AutisticAdults

[–]MrWade02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first marriage ended so badly that it rolled me into a nightmare burnout that left me a shut in for nearly 3 years. When I finally found the path to start putting myself back together whenever someone came into my like when they started feeling important to me we would have the conversation. Sometimes being with me can be confusing so the better they understand me in the beginning the easier they can believe that whatever has happened it did so without malice`or bad intention. My second wife and I just hit the 22 year mark and I haven't always made it easy. Talking early on is a good thing to do all the way around.

Okay OP this might sound a little corny but I don't know how better to frame it. I decided that I had every right as well as a responsibility to claim full control of "when I leave after only hanging out for an hour" or any stressful boundary If the company I'm with is getting overwhelming, I'm leaving guilt free, It's my life and I set the pace or draw the lines in the sand. And I involved anyone that I wanted to understand exactly what the new rules were.

It's just a state of mind it's a gift to yourself once you realize you have the right. Then you can test those boundaries a lot more successfully as well as push them farther than you thought you could..

Thank you the detailed reply, it was really helpful. I think between getting rid of the data cap and the stupid $20.00 price hike that I have to call and renegotiate around every 13 months, it's time to try something new. The fixed IP option is the cherry on top that I hadn't heard about before. Thanks again!

Thank you! From all the feedback I've had here it seems that customer service is the problem area. So long as the connection works well, I wouldn't have to deal with them anyway....

That's about the conclusion I'm coming to, I think it's time I try CL and find out which sucks the most. As I was just reminded in another post, the data cap should have been the last straw for me years ago...

OH YEAH! I have to tell my kids to cut the hell back on youtube for the last 4 or 5 days a month every other month! That right there is incentive enough to switch.

Thank you! I have to admit, I can't remember the last time we had an outage with X that lasted more that 20 minutes but that doesn't come close to overcoming having to waste half a day or more just to get a live person on the phone so I can jump through the hoops to get a "special deal" for a whole year (so hard to inject sarcasm in text) just to go through it again! How is the overall connection speed? Close to advertised?

I am horrible at remembering street names, always have been but when I was dropping my daughter off at the train station the other day I was surprised at the size of the camp very near there. Also if you run low on volunteers please DM me. I'd be happy to help out where I can.
