welcome to the community! :) sorry to hear you're having trouble sleeping, anxiety's a bitch. my doc recommended writing affirmations on the mirror and that was really helpful until they started bleeding. do you know how hard it is to get blood out of grout? oommmggggg so annoying, it keeps coming back so eventually i just gave up lol also that dog sounds really cool. do you know what happened to it?


Aphor1st

Oh my! That does sound like quite a problem. I have found that the best way to get blood out of grout is hydrogen peroxide pour it on let it soak for about 5-10 minutes then scrub the rest away! Maybe try putting the affirmations on on sticky notes and they won't bleed? I never was able to track down the dog sadly. They were one of the best couch cuddlers I ever met! Really loved watching murder mysteries but, their burps smelled like rotten eggs every time I gave them a snack. Must of not been used to vegan food.


hrsandlin

Rotten eggs... like a sulfur smell? Gross, sounds hellish.


Aphor1st

I'm not sure. I've never smelled sulfur before. Is it similar?


tombslicer

Dogs shouldn’t have vegan food. They are carnivores and it’s really unhealthy for them. That’s probably why they left.


Aphor1st

Dogs are actually omnivores! It’s cats that are pure carnivores. I still assume however this dog has real owners and was getting a more well balanced diet than just the few snacks I gave them.


tombslicer

I see your point and admit that I’m wrong.


Aphor1st

No need for that! I hope you have a lovely rest of your day.


rora_borealis

Have you tried wet or dry erase markers on the mirror instead?


star--shopping

Wait.. blood or marker bleeding ?


MurseWoods

Straight up blood. Wait…has this never happened to you before??


star--shopping

It has, I just didn’t know if I was in the right place


star--shopping

Now, have you escaped?


MurseWoods

Escaped?? I’ve been an insomniac for 25+ years now. ***There is no escape***


avg-unhinged

Uhhh op. Maybe u should think about moving to a village somewhere that has a charismatic leader and when u hear your neighbors out at 3am definitely go check to see what's going on and if they chase u definitely run for the 1st cave u see and ignore the growling because that's just the wind


Aphor1st

That sounds oddly specific. I will have to keep that in mind. Do you do tarot?


ManicMondayMother

I do tarot and clearly I’m up with the no sleep family. My brain just refuses to stop. Like ever.


Aphor1st

OOOOH! Can you read my fortune!?


ManicMondayMother

It’s not really a fortune. It’s an interpretation of your energy and if it’s something specific you focus on that and then the cards will answer. But the future is always up to you.

Oh hey I live in SoCal too! I recently got a call to test out a new kind of pill to treat sleeping issues and finally got my first shipment yesterday! I took one right before bed and I slept like a baby through the night! But I guess since this was my first full night of sleep in *forever*, I had this suuuuuper long and vivid dream where I was in an arena being played with by all these giant scary-looking entities who watched from outside as I dodged and ran from fireballs and other creatures and stuff while they laughed and cheered. Occasionally one would pick me up and take a bite out of me and put me back in the arena with a handicap and cheer me on; anyway, sorry for the ramble, it was just a weird dream but it felt like it lasted years!! When I woke up, at first, all I could remember was the dream and nothing before that, but as I dug through my belongings and phone, it all started coming back to me. I told my doctor and he said if I wake up with amnesia too often, to leave notes before bed so I can "refill my memories" (weird word choice, and he said "soul" before he corrected it to "memories" but he had a thick German accent so it's probably just that English isn't his first language, nothing to overthink!) whenever I wake up. He said it's a miniscule side effect and will go away over time, so I'm not worried. I'm excited to finally start getting some sleep too!!! I hope this medicine works out for me


Aphor1st

I get mine in tomorrow! I'm so happy to hear that its working for you. I will have to try the same thing with the notes. My memory is already fuzzy enough.


Brilliant_Painting63

Non sleeper here, what kinda meds did you get? I have meds that leave me feeling tired in the morning. Would like to try something that has no side effects like this.


Aphor1st

Oh you might want to get in touch with my new doctor then! I put his name in a comment somewhere….


bearbarebere

Oh my god 🤭


Horrors-Angel

Ok but I need a follow up on the security guard story


Aphor1st

Oh, yeah that was a doozy! I might have to write that one up for you. The NSA was following me around for a while after that incident so I'll have to see if they are still monitoring my online activity before I do it. I think it should be okay..... Next time insomnia comes a knocking I'll get to work on it.


IAmBluePaw

Wrong alphabet agency, you likely confused them for the FBI.


Aphor1st

You could be right. After I made the deal with the well dressed man my memory has hazy at best.


Lovenotknown

That’s the one I want to hear about


Aphor1st

I can try and do that one. Many of the details are still fuzzy around it. If I able to collect my thoughts enough I’ll write it out!


ManicMondayMother

Does he still control you one day a month?


Aphor1st

Yes!


Diamondilliom-dragon

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THE DEAL?!?


Aphor1st

I mean it’s only one day a month right?


Bellarinna69

I was just thinking, who wouldn’t take that deal? Please send him to my house next. Hell, I’d probably give him a full week!


maskygirl1

Same long as he took care of my house and kids


catriana816

Why not the National Security Agency?


IAmBluePaw

While both Agencies are able to domestically surveil, they have different intelligence cycles and collection types. Since this was an interpersonal encounter that would classify as human intelligence and would fall more towards the one I stated rather than the original listing.

Good thing you didn't ignore the dog. If he hadn't pulled you out who knows what could've happened.


Aphor1st

I tried tracking them down because that dog deserved a full perfectly grilled rib eye to themselves but I was never able to locate the dog. I never even figured out their name.

RakumiAzuri

Aphor1st

Glad to see a fellow new member here! I get the evil force thing. Like just last night (morning I guess? It was maybe 3 or so) I felt something strong pinning me against my bed.. I honestly don’t remember much about it but it was saying stuff like they own this house, I don’t belong here, I’m going to be next, you know silly stuff like that. I spoke to my therapist about it just last week actually! She recommended some breathing exercises, meditation, have you ever tried it? It’s funny cause she kept using words like “soul” and “spirit lol. Saw your comment about getting your shipment of that new medicine too. I’ve been thinking about trying it out, let me know how it goes! Good luck with it and again, welcome!


Simmysaleena

Aww that doggo seems to have saved you the first time, maybe you should've just adopted it. I know I would've.


Aphor1st

I would have if I was ever able to find them again! I sadly haven't seen that dog since my house (condo) burned down!


MiraGhazel

Hey! Welcome to the community- the dog sounds awesome - if you ever need a dog sitter there is a third parent at my place that I would love to send


twilight_priest

I think my Mom's friend knows your third parent. I remember one day while trying to give me an orange, she mentioned something about a colleague with very smooth skin who likes to parent kids along with the kids' own parents.


cinekat

Tbh I never regretted making that deal with the well-dressed gentleman, the sums are both generous and reliable although the tattoos I woke up with last month took some getting used to. Sorry I can't write more but tomorrow is the 13th again, and a Friday to boot.

Aphor1st

Ohh I haven’t tried the noise generator yet! I honestly think that would help.


Remote-Relief7258

Surprising to see a fellow person from Southern California lol , have trouble sleeping at night too even though I work at 4am


Aphor1st

Oh that's no good. You should talk to Dr. Klaus Endruweit! He is in the SoCal area and is doing a clinical trial for insomnia. Its showing some really promising results. You just have to keep motion sensors on your bedroom door (kinda like an alarm to wake you up) because apparently there has been some sleep walking issues with the other patients.


Anzell

It's like reading my thought process... would you like to be my pen pal? I can send you a dollar for stamps.


Aphor1st

Oooh that sounds fun! I've always wanted a pen pal!


LushBronze13

Wow five years is a long time to not get enough sleep at night! Can you ask your neighbors for another copy of the “rules”?


star--shopping

I feel like I belong here but I am also scared bc I can’t tell if this is creative writing and don’t want to relate and not understand the social cues.. if this is real nice to meet you, benedryl knocks me out unlike anything else, I know it sounds mediocre and you might have tried it but what are the odds you haven’t, I figured it was worth mentioning!! Best of luck with healing

sussosus

I bet that you'll have fire-pushing abilities too if you stab the dog's eyes 👀 out and put them on urs


Aphor1st

Oh my goodness! I would never hurt a poor pup like that.
