I just wanted to chime in with RJ to say that everybody has their own kind of dysfunctional cycles. I joke that I have the opposite of an anxiety disorder and call it a passivity disorder but it's not really a joke. Instead of "whazzing" out about things that might be relatively minor, I don't "whazz" out about things that might make most people rationally concerned. My second sister who suffers from anxiety was once caught in a car with me in a pour-down rainstorm and we had to pull off the road. She turned to me and asked if I didn't think I ought to call my S19 to make sure he was okay since he had driven off at the same time and she thought it was really odd that I hadn't even thought to worry about him. Perhaps this is unrelated but I very rarely suffer from insomnia. I pop out of bed in the morning and I pretty much fall down asleep wherever I am 16 hours later (even if I'm in tbe passenger seat of my current swain's car -lol) I generally sleep so hard that I rarely remember my dreams. But being the way I am isn't necessarily a good thing because I can so easily lose myself in a book and a bowl of rice pudding and not wake up until the house is on fire and the baby is screaming and the waistband of my jeans is getting painfully tight.
