Bad comparison. Gonzo knows where the damn popcorn is in our house.
I will, however, agree w/ those that say that Rx pills aren't the answer. I've seen what scripts can do to a person and it's heartbreaking. After witnessing such a thing, I told myself I will never get on scripts ever again. In fact, I suffer from anxiety issues and, up until a few weeks ago, I was taking a hefty med to help. I'll admit that they improved my mood, but I'm bound and determined to correct my anxiety issues on my own terms from here on out.
As far as insomnia, I've been battling that for quite awhile. I have no doubt that my anxiety issues play a big role in my disturbed sleep pattern. However, I work full-time, then I come home and continue to work, (dishes, laundry, etc.). On top of chores, I also have a 3 y/o boy in tow. Combine all of that and it equals exhaustion. Yet, when the boy is in bed, Gonzo is taken care of, (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), and the chores are taken care of, I want a little Lumpy time.
I honestly believe that the only way that someone can overcome their insomnia issue is to improve their lifestyle. Which is exactly what I plan on doing here shortly. I have an exercise routine planned out, began taking vitamins and eating better, and I'm going to quit smoking.
