in my country we associate a baby with a burden. Losing a tooth - someone dying. Empty house/apt - grave
It is all personal. A baby may mean one thing to me, while something different to you and something totally different to a third. You will get as many different "feelings" of a baby (for example) as there are people that you ask as this is all PERSONAL INTERPRETATION.
I used to have dreams of my teeth falling out from time to time. I was stressed over losing what was most important to me - those that I loved.
While I recognize that babies are most certainly a burden - THEY ARE - first and foremost for me, I think of love.
It's so silly to think of being terrified of being chased by a tiny creature and to have to tell yourself before you fall asleep that when you have the nightmare you can turn around in your dream and tell that little thing, "You can't hurt me." Would work to some degree, but obviously not well enough as I still could not sleep for the rest of my adult life.
With this drug (Seroquel) taken in very small doses (25mg) it doesn't knock you out like say Ambien. A drug like that would put me to sleep but it wouldn't KEEP ME sleeping. Seroquel quiets the mind so you can rest your body physically.
I have been taking it for 2 weeks now and for the first time in YEARS I can and crave sleep. I can sleep 8 hours now and it is a gift.
During the daytime I take anti-anxiety meds (Paxil) because my depression was so bad I was having increasing difficulty searching for a reason to keep waking up.... The meds didn't solve any of my problems, but it DID help me to be calmer and think more clearly so I could have the fortitude to do all that I needed to do in order to make our lives better, in spite of the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against us.
I will post up about it in a few weeks as it all plays out.
All I will say is that DYFUS dont like it when people submit evidence that is inconsistent with allegations of abuse. Someone is going down for their behavior.
