I'm new to this forum, just joined today in hopes of finding some support, and I have to say it's comforting in an odd way to hear that people share some of my habits. I can't sleep without the TV on either, or at least in my case, without Netflix playing on the laptop, which stays on through the night next to my bed. I can't seem to take naps in the afternoon, because the one time in my live I had the flu, I woke up from a nap and v*ed. I sleep with a two liter of flat ginger ale and antacids next to my bed. If I start feeling n*, I usually start sucking on antacids and sipping ginger ale. I also can't bring myself to eat for days at a time if I feel n*. PRobably my most unusual habit is putting ice packs on my stomach. It's not a pain thing, either, I just seem to be able to remain calm better with something freezing on my stomach. I can go through all four of our ice packs in a few hours if I'm having one of my worse days.
