Anxiety Dreams: Mental Health and Dementia

It’s been quite a while since I had a night of disturbed sleep like I did this past night. Every time I drifted off, I seemed to drop into one of my anxiety dreams. I’m going to get vulnerable, and share some things I don’t often speak of, so hang on.

Today, I had an apparent #migraine without #aura. That's unusual for me. 90+% of my migraines announce themselves. Since this one didn't, I had no opportunity to circumvent it ahead of the pain. I still took a #sumitriptan as soon as I realized what was happening. And it worked. But ... I got one of the fun side effects. As in, extreme somnolence. I fought to stay awake for maybe 30 mins. Tried to lie down and read for a bit.

That attempt failed miserably. Next thing I knew, my bladder was waking me up, urgently. ~2 hours had passed since I was last aware of anything. I'm still feeling hung over, but the pain was gone when I awoke. It's been about 2 hours since I woke up.

Migraines are so much fun. Ugh.
