Wasnt Sure

I wasn't sure about this post. I guess I'm just very tired. I don't sleep well most nights. My husband and I have separate bedrooms because I have nightmares. PTSD and I'm 100% VA disabled and on SSDI.

I saw a news story today that for some reason just got to me. Being gay, married in CA, having money issues, a lot depresses me.

Then, this story.

https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/5-from-alpharetta-including-2-children-killed-in-head-on-crash-in-texas/GXTDFWVWOBCZJG34Q3T7BT2B2E/

Five people killed because some impatient ASSHOLE decided to pass a slower car in a no passing zone. It was Texas, but it could've been anywhere. I guess I'm just a bit sad that it seemed society gas become so obsessed with ME ME ME and screw everyone else. I'm in such a hurry I have to kill some DAMN KIDS. I mean come on.

Sorry for the rant. I'm sitting in a bar having a drink and burger. My husband is here to drive me home, he just got his 12 year or something AA coin. So I'm going to get plastered.

Very similar. Gay too even but no one around, too complicated of a life right now. I have trouble getting to sleep more than sleeping through but if I’ve had nightmares I haven’t been told by housemates, I certainly have reason enough to, so if I ever end up with anyone else that has PTSD it just wouldn’t register as an issue. I’m glad you found a solution though for the sleep right now. I can’t wave a wand and fix the economy (already tried without one, unauthorized math and suggestion box stuff only make so many impacts) but if you want recipes or any cost cutting ideas, things that might help on the financial side just give me a DM.
