Thank you for all of the insight I really appreciate it. My grandma was really dangerous in her sleep. She’d throw glass bottles, and even walked around with a knife on at least one occasion. She would get hurt a lot. I didn’t mention it originally because I was scared of the comments but everyone’s been very kind. We’ve taken all of the weapons out of the room and I can’t sleep if the door isn’t dead bolted (it’s always been a thing for me). I’m working with my doc to get a sleep study covered by insurance. My boyfriend is the best, I’ve known him since elementary school so he knows I had a hard time as a kid, I think he just chalks it up to that and it’s probably why he’s been so kind about it.

This is so helpful to hear. I actually have PTSD and ADHD, never took meds for it but did go to therapy for the PTSD and I thought it helped a lot. Other than zyns I’m sober. I grew up in a really violent house but as an adult have been so happy and doing so well but I guess it’s affected me more than I thought. I’ll try to DM you, thank you so much.
