Welcome to the wonderful world of those of us with PTSD.

And it doesn’t have to be very post at all.

This may be a new term: Present Traumatic Stress Disorder. Either present or past, it seems the same to me.

We are/were sleep disordered before this. I hate to think of how this will impact so many people who will add this to their sleep problems. it’s frightening.

From bad dreams about Trump to bad dreams about Covid-19.
But I’m not sleeping.

Please, no. I would much rather a virtual SotU.

As for the vans full of subpoenas, I think they should be accompanied by search and arrest warrants, but by all means bring them on. (It’s time we acknowledged that he’s committed enough crimes in public that if he weren’t President, he’d have been arrested and indicted out the wazoo. And should be.)

I am sleeping well, but have numerous recalled dreams, many of Covid. They seem to be extensions of all the stuff I am reading. Guess I can journal them on Twitter, eh?

More interesting to me is how formerly recurring dreams have changed since retirement.

PTSD - Present Trump Stress Disorder. I can’t believe I’m the first one to post this. When (and if) he leaves office we can rebrand it to Post Trump Stress Disorder. Notice I didn’t say President Trump Stress Disorder because he doesn’t perform the role of president. Never has and never will.

“Be careful how you touch her, for she’ll awaken
And sleep’s the only freedom that she knows…”

They just don’t write songs like they used to.

I’ve had a lot more dreams. It’s because I can sleep in after waking up the first time since I don’t have to get up and drive to my office.

It’s. Been. Awesome.
