I totally understand the feeling of being out of control. It's incredibly frightening. I haven't blacked out per se, but REM creeps into my reality and I see things that aren't there, making me question reality. I feel much better after these brief sleep attacks, too, but trying to fight them off is miserable.

Today I went to court for my traffic "incident" where I totalled my car- and the other car as well. I'm not driving anymore until I get on some meds or something, and the judge was suprisingly supportive- cut my fine in half. :)

Come back to the board and visit, if only to read the messages here. It sure makes me feel better to know that I'm not going through this alone- that there are other people out there struggling with fear and uncertainty too. It's not stupid at all to be afraid of the lack of control- as adults we're supposed to just handle things and, to tell you the truth, I went through a period of intense shame along with the fear.

You're not alone Eric. We'll pray for each other, ok? :)
