In simplest terms E, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again (and again and again till it works). Practise makes perfect!
You will get there. You just have to push a little harder. Now I'm thinking of that little train who could...

You did not sleep with the mask last night. If you were trying, you would put the mask on when your head hits the pillow and leave it on.

Enc, just what is it about the mask that keeps you from sleeping. Is it something physical ? Is it mental? Is it something that worries you. Something that feels too close, too tight? Do you feel helpless with it on your face. What type of mask are you using . Have you tried others ?are you able to actually talk to us? Carry On a conversation about this? Dan

Because first of all, I already had inconsistent sleep. Therapy made my sleep go from bad to non-existent. And we know THAT'S NOT a GAME...

Even when I slept, I woke up after 2 hours. And that happened more than 3 times. That's uncommon for me. No matter what time I went to bed, I would wake up. And I'm sure it's from the mask because I'm sensitive to my body and have intuition.

Every time I took the mask off, I was able to sleep easier. No coincidence.

Keep proving my point! You do nothing but bully and pick people apart. You add nothing to any thread concerning Enchanter so why do you need to interrupt with your garbage? And again I ask who is the Russian guy named Eugene? You keep avoiding answering.

hey, hwmnbn, tell your apologist that unless someone quotes her drivel, I don't see it anymore... and I've got no idea what she's frothing through her obscene fingers about... the only 'Eugene' I know is a city in oregon.

Well that is pretty DAMN rude considering all the people on this site who truly did try to help you even though you did a "pick and choose" who you wanted to respond to. Yes, people got very annoyed with you and frustrated with you for good reason but they also did try to help you and for you to say you only have appreciation for Postitnote is just wrong.

Quit whining, grow a pair and help yourself for a change, why should anyone continue to try to support you!

Hey Cancun, could you perhaps have misread that post? I took it as Enchanter was saying they have nothing but appreciation for postitnote, not that postitnote was the only person they appreciate.

I read it the same way you did, kteague. Enchanter has expressed appreciation to many here via PM. He's a very nice young man who is having a really difficult time.
