Anxiety Dreams

This happens to me way more than I'd like. I wake up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep, feeling all messed up, because of some anxiety filled dream I was having. It happens a lot when I am under a lot of stress, which lately, is just plain a lot!

Today was a dream that I'd lost my job. I went through all the emotions in the dream one might go through losing their job 2 weeks before
Gastric Bypass surgery. I woke up and I found that I was still trying to figure out how I would be able to get through everything without a job, and wondering if my cobra benefits would cover everything, and if unemployment would be enough... Even though I knew it was a dream, I couldn't shake the stress and anxiety it caused. So, as I've done in the past, I got up and played around on the computer.

I went over to one of my newest favorite sites, the Thinner Times Gastric Bypass forum, and ironically enough saw a post from somebody else having the same sort of problem with these sorts of dreams. Interesting how a shared experience somehow makes you feel a little better about a situation.

And now, I'm here. I so can't wait for my surgery, this waiting stuff is getting old! :)
