You know how that happened, don't turn your Auntie Shan into a harpy!  :icon_blahblah:

Yup.

When I feel rubbish, I go for wine and cheese, and it's doing my weight no good at all.

My weakness list - I've severely limited the first two but refuse to cut back on third ::) :
A nice hoppy IPA from the local brewpub and salted peanuts or pistachios
Black coffee and dark chocolate
Cookies and milk
:P

Not sure if this is the topic to post what ticked me off today, but here 'tis: one of my contact (gas perm hard) lenses decided it wanted to live on the top of my eyeball and refused all attempts at removal.  When I first looked in the mirror I couldn't even see it.

Well, that sounds like you have a serious problem. "Feel depressed, grab alcohol" is sort of indicative of such.

To be fair to Deeper, I didn't quote all of his post.

You're right, it's definitely a problem. A few people have expressed concerns, online and off, so I'm not trying to only have one, maybe 2 bottles per week, and have at least 2 days in between. I feel that's a more reasonable amount, instead of the 6 or so bottles I have been having per week.

------------------

Himself has just basically stuffed me back into the closet.  :(

I decided to start coming out, and changing my online stuff to reflect that. Two nights ago, I essentially outed myself on one particular social network by updating my profile to showing as FTM and having one of my male-presenting pics as an avatar. However, Himself is also a member of said network, and our profiles have connections, in that we're linked as engaged to one another etc, and we share friends. He's just told me quite sharply that it makes him very uncomfortable. I tried to make my case that, whether or not it says so online, he is engaged to a man anyway, but he has basically indicated that he doesn't want to be in a relationship with me if I try to present as male. I've changed it all back to what it was now, but I'm utterly miserable about it. I probably should have talked with him about it first, but I didn't think it was going to be a problem, as we had a conversation last week where he told me that he would be ok with staying together if I transitioned. Now, apparently, that is not true, and has never been true. Suffice to say, I feel a tad messed about by that.

I hate this. He keeps saying he supports me and wants me to be happy, but I'm feeling like his behaviour isn't reflecting that, as he keeps repressing me all the time.

I keep welling up, and I really, really want to drink myself into oblivion right now.  :'(  :'(  :'(

If anyone has hugs going, I'd totally appreciate them.

Big hugs! Drinking won't fix anything, hon. It's up to you to do that. Hugs, Devlyn

I'm sorry, that sucks so much. It doesn't help that he's sort of jerking you back and forth, saying it's all OK and you're going to stay together and then putting roadblocks in front of you when you take steps forward.

Thanks, all of you. I'm not going to drink, I've gotten into bed instead. It's going to be awkward when he comes to bed, as we haven't spoken since I went to change the profile, nearly 3 hours ago.

Insomnia has infested me good and proper. Amitriptyline? Pff... doesn't even make a dent in it.

I found Amitriptyline and Temazepam useless. I sympathise, I too have chronic insomnia.

I've had insomnia for about 10 years. I take Prozasin. It works really well for me.

Another insomia sufferer. I've tried all those, too, with no luck. I've been taking Elavil for the past year, and it seems to work. I'm sleeping for 4 straight hours, a personal best.

DeeperThanSwords, hugs. The situation isn't an easy one. If you ever need an ear, I've got two.

V M, thanks. She seems to be doing a little better, despite everything, which is all I can hope for.

As for a little unhappy, got a 'shut-off notice' from the gas company...I've been trying to reach them all day, with no luck, for an extension. Fingers crossed I can get through the lines tomorrow.

I have also found that an herbal supplement called HTP is helpful with the insomnia.

Can you find that at regular stores? Wal-mart or Walgreens maybe?

I have never tried to get it from there. Where I live natural stores are every where. So I just get it from them. Sorry.

Nah, it's all right. I was mostly curious. I don't think I have any natural stores around, not without driving to the city.
