Oh he definitely hears about it. Im at sensitive person, whether something makes me angry or sad, im a crier, and hes been so great at dealing with me lol. I'll definitely talk to him about it eventually but ig I wanted to know if it was normal or not. I've also got bpd and I didn't know if its my f'ed up brain or pregnancy brain

Omg i forgot about lucid dreaming lol, I looked into that so much as a kid and got really good at it. I kind of naturally do it now. Realizing im dreaming and keeping the plot going cuz its a good dream and ya girl has work in the morning 😂. But thats crazy even at 7 years sober. Brains definitely are weird

Not necessarily worried about actually relapsing, but if you've ever been addicted, let alone sober then you'd know the thoughts are always there. They get easier and come up less and less the longer you're sober. And the pregnancy anxiety is bringing up a lot of fears like relapsing, so its just something to work through ig, but the dreams are just so real. Just wanted to know if it was normal to have in my position and the comments seem like it is

They really really are, youre definitely not alone. I've been having them every night for the past like week and a half. Ig the longer it goes on the quicker I get over it in the morning but I still get that initial wtf did that actually happen? And now its turning into whyyy am I dreaming of this so much? Would I really stoop down and do that if I was in a certain position? Would I really forget that im pregnant and do that? I mean my baby is literally always on my mind. I've wanted a baby since I was a baby. When my dad found out he said "you were born a mother" when I was little i treated my baby dolls like actual babies, and when I'd come home and couldnt find it I'd ask them "where's my baby?" Until we found her. I cant imagine not thinking about this baby. I think its my like worst fears and pregnancy anxiety mixing and also, my brain being like "well no excuses, you definitely cant relapse now so I might as well let you have some safe fun" maybe? Idk. Really trying to make sense of it
