Re: Table manners / food issues

I cannot eat with my mouth closed as it hurts my jaw (its deformed due to having too much cartlige) so I occasionally get people commenting on it. My usual response is to carry on while looking directly at them as if to say you eat your way I will eat my way and they usually look away :lol:

Re: Outbursts! Anger and fraustration!

I have outbursts occasionally but I tend to take it out on my bed more than anything. Had one the other day as my laptop needs a repair (no idea why it just wont start up and only way to turn it off is to take the battery out)

Re: Dream Recollection

I just remembered I used to sleep walk as well and sometimes wake up screaming. I can also control my dreams sometimes and be aware I'M dreaming. The worst thing is not being able to move when you are half way between sleeping and waking, I've had it a few times if I get too hot. you struggle to mo...
