I have actually used subliminal and hypnotic sleep therapy. It helped a lot and then, I didn't have to use it anymore. I am kinda lazy sometimes, but I can sleep pretty well and actually have nice dreams. I am going to assume that you have tried the tips like relaxation, stretching, deep breathing, avoiding certain types of media, sleep/relaxation herbs, and all that. I also sleep better if I am really bundled up, no matter how hot it is. And no, having a warm body doesn't necessarily help if it is the wrong type of connection, of course.
There really is a lot that one can do to help the body rest. In fact, sometimes relaxing rest without sleep, can help. The best thing I ever did for my sleep was to stop myself from being so cranky all the time. I couldn't just keep worrying about stuff and being neurotic when it didn't do anything to help me or change my life for the better. Hahaha. That's what crazy people do. Saved! It took a lot of study and dedication and relaxation and letting go, but now, I consciously decide to be more balanced and everything else balances itself at least a little better, even if it's not just perfect all the time.
PS: I miss long spaces between periods from my youth. Sometimes, because I am so regular now, even sans BC, I feel like ugh, I just finished that! Hahaha![/u]

I'm starting with the capsules with the intention of eventually getting the powder again. I know that the capsules have fillers in them, but I'm putting money and convenience first right now.
Oh, and I know MSM affects one's cycle, too! I can't remember how it affects mine, but I hope it starts things sooner. I'm really fed up with how long it takes me to get my period.
Very suspicious white powder in a bag!!

LOL, I hope no one decided to get cheeky and try any of it! Unpleasant surprise right there! Imagining snorting MSM!
You and i are soo alike! I constantly and i mean CONSTANTLY am trying to busy my mind as it just WONT SHUT UP!!! I too had traumatic experiences as a child, loss of my mother (grandma). Also traumatic childhood experiences which destroyed the way i think.
Theres a therapy you and i need. I listen to you what you wrote to Char and I was like this therapy would benefit us both, probably wont be cheap.
Ive never done this cause like you my MIND wont allow to try help myself but they say EFT tapping to work on past experiences .
Im really going to look into some healing now.
I wonder if Reiki would work? Although i appreciated Reiki might not be for you BB
Another thing and i know how this works for you and me but i found reading "louise hay" or listening to her youtube clips, she teaches you how to love yourself etc. Affirmations. At the very least at the time i read or listen to her speak i feel immediate relief.
I honestly think I would feel a lot better about myself if I got a significant other. I'm always so perplexed when girls have issues like mine, yet they have boyfriends or husbands. It makes me feel extra messed up. There's definitely something I'm missing. Like I really and truly don't know how to get a boyfriend. I can't bear to even have guys look at me and I can't make eye contact with them, even though I'm so lonely and really want to be with someone. I'll literally try to hide from attractive guys (or at least shield my face in some way) if I encounter them in public. Truly pitiful.
Got my period today! Got it on day 31! *pats self on the back* Nice. It's always a treat when my cycle is less than 35 days. Breasts are still big and sore.
I'm going to try to record my intake later. If I'm not too sleepy, that is.
