Yes, I slept OK thanks. @Lee71 

I'm sorry to hear you get flashbacks and nightmares. 😞 And that it's broken sleep. 

Just when you need some relief from your pain and trauma in sleep. 😞

It's ok @NatureLover  I'm so used to it .

Have had sleeping issues for a long, long time. Sometimes it's just worse than other times.

Today I am pretty much over it, done.

Fighting through each minute or hour takes so much energy. Eventually that energy is all gone. If you know what I mean.

Yes, I know. 😞

I used to use distraction when I couldn't fight any more, although I didn't know it was a strategy back then...I just couldn't stand reality any more. But you say distraction doesn't work for you? @Lee71 

[Lee71]

At times distractions work for me @NatureLover 

You said it perfectly, don't want to deal with reality. So I won't

I'm glad distractions work for you sometimes, Lee.

You're kind of dealing with reality by coming on here though? @Lee71

Kind of @NatureLover 

If I focus on here and the minutes to check in, right now it's helping me keep a handle on the bad thoughts and temptations.
