If there is a god, in any way shape or form, I will not be sodomized while I sleep today. I just want to sleep in peace. I'm bringing the therapist with me. He said he is here for me and cares about me and won't leave me, so I'm jumping on it. I got a visit from this boy while I slept Wednesday morning. He was lost. Desperatley lost in a dark and very scary place and he needed help. I heard my therapist talking to him on the phone and telling him to come home. Then he was talking to me through the walls of a child's playroom. He was so afraid. He was sobbing terribly and was so very terrified and desperate. We kept asking him where he was. Then... there was so much pain and it woke me up. It's colder here now. The air is different and the light, too. I don't like this time of year. I'm so afraid. Bad things. Someone hurt me and then someone washed me and I was very afraid. I dread the shower. I dread what might happen while I sleep. I wish my therapist could sleep in my room. I want to grab him and never, ever let him go. Even Rambo says it would be okay to do that. I just want to feel safe. This is not right. It's not fair. Against all odds, I've made an actual fucking life and I would like to live it without being attacked this way.

  1. Grace, a few weeks ago I dreamed that you came to sleep in here with me. Maybe you can come with me, too. That dream wasn't the best, because we were both terrified and then my father came in the room. You threw up and I had a stroke or a seizure or something, but I still felt better that you were with me.

    I'm so sorry sweetie. If I were there I would watch over you while you sleep. I can read in your words how hard this is for you...and how much you need T to watch over you.
    Your dream is probably not far from my reality with the puking stuff...but good lord! Don't have a stroke or a seizure - when I'm in those puking places I don't do well under pressure :-)
    I am with Lynn...as you sleep, in your tears, in your fear and pain, I am with you.
    I just read this - after escappinmg the germ infested United 757...You may be sleeping now.
    I'm here...
    Love you Girl!
    Grace

  3. Ya' know . . . while in the Army, I found that sleeping with an M16 in your hand is very comforting. If you don't have one handy, perhaps a Beretta? Or a baseball bat? Such reassurances in hand kept away many bad dreams . . .

    Hang tough, mi amigo!

  4. Thank you, Grace. I'm doing better now and I got out of the house and did some things. I think I'm going to focus on getting some things done inside the house now and see if I can make the better feelings last a while.

    Welcome home, Jim!! Thanks for the tips. I like them. Totally my style.
    :-)

  5. I used to sleep with a baseball bat under my bed and a stuffed dog in my arms. Best of both worlds. Maybe you could sleep with Rambo (baseball bat) and T (teddy bear) too.
