Something just occurred to me re: my recent move and getting laid off.

[NightTrain]

When I lived in my last place and still had my job, I frequently woke up screaming from a recurring nightmare. Since I got out of there and since I was laid off, the nightmares have stopped!

Coincidence? You decide!

1. You're self-medicating more?

2. HHHHMmmmmmmmm ....no more nightmares....new place

3. New job? Feh!

Why do you think God created severance pay and Unemployment benefits? :evilgrin:

7. from experience.... I know that is a trappped.....

it is easy to get complacent.....
and finding a job that pays more than the unemployment gets harder as the time goes by.....
.....

6. I do believe you're onto something, Amaya!

My new roommate is a political progressive, as well as a former Connecticut state legislator. And for the first time in my life, I'm living with pets, which occasionally can be a nuisance but for the most part has been a delight!

5. I say ...

Great!

Maybe the old place and job were nightmares...

I'm happy for you.

9. In my former life i was an accountant for the May co.

I really hated that job but it paid really well, i felt trapped by the golden noose. By the time i was 26 i had an ulcer and recurring nightmares, thats when i finally quit, got rid of my expensive car that i never got a chance to drive and in general just started to live within my means. If you don't have your mental and physical health, you have nothing.

10. Sounds like you found some peace.

I hope things continue to go on a good path and your next job is a good one. :D

11. Now if I could just get myself *a* piece...!

Unfortunately, it ain't lookin' like that's gonna happen any time soon. :(

12. Reminds me of when I "turned gay"

so to speak.

For years I'd been having screaming nightmares.

My wife never got a decent night's sleep because she was wakened up by my thrashing and screaming.

We separated and I ended up in a gay relationship.

Not a nightmare since.
