@25years----------sorry your problems are worse than mine. I am. That seems to be the reason everyone gives me here when they tell me to shut up about my problems. My wife never had a historectomy, though. I'm sorry about your husband and your issues but millions of people have it even worse than that, too, if it helps. Again, I'm a good husband, and I only come here for advice on one subject BECAUSE it's an area of expertise for the woman who created the site and wrote books on the subject. For now, I'm shutting up about it even here because that's the advice I was given, but for what it's worth I don't think about it much, it's only even some of the times I do think about it that I get stressed and I'm trying to find a way to deal with that stress----for now, getting better sleep is a priority.
@GG---------I may yet have Apserger's. If I do, I manage it, much like you, but the guy I KNOW who has Asperger's on the radio, Bean Baxter, well, he's clinical in every way----fascinated with maps, dates, numbers, he SAYS creepy things on live air, he loves ship wrecks, can't stand when people say "daylight SAVINGS time," I just don't think AS is the outlier for me right now is all but still give Kevin and Bean a shot just to hear Bean. I think you'd be entertained, at least.
After my therapy yesterday, my therapist says I'm doing great. I feel good about everything, but her encouragement is truly inspirational. Right now, my focus is on better sleep. So I'm taking a bubble bath every night. No joke. We have a nice tub, jets and everything. No internet two hours before bed. No TV. No sweets 4 hours before bed (I was already doing most of these things). If I can't sleep, I have a pad and paper to write anything down as fast as I can, non-stop. I'll be getting more regular exercise running the dogs.
I'll also be training the two dogs more myself, both together and individually. I'm setting up a budget with budget-planning software so it's transparent, I'm getting a calendar tomorrow so we can both keep better track of events, I've started working with a group of people on a curated group art show for the fall and getting other artists involved (painting on vinyl records) and doing some TV spots for it, and also TTOFWDNS+ FN
