Even though I have been going through a lot mentally, I didn't lose my hope and faith in getting better and the recovery process.
This is such a beautiful relief to read. I worry about you, but I also know you are strong and I trust that strength.
Recently I used clicker training to teach Pilot how to wake me up during a nightmare. He does the "trick" really well, lol. I lay down and thrash and moan and he gleefully launches himself onto my stomach to get the treat. I don't know yet if I actually trained him to wake me during a real nightmare because I haven't had the thrash-and-moan kind in a while, but the idea is comforting. Mostly it's just cute and roller-coaster fun anticipating him jumping on me when I fake the nightmare. I think in real life he's like, dude, I'm trying to sleep here!
I was thinking of writing to you but often forgot, I don't know why. I keep forgetting many things because I always feel tired.
Pilot is such a sweet boy and I guess he is very close to you. Gigi is also comforting but if she does this on me, I might die 🤣. She sometimes lies down on my chest and I feel like I am dying. Joke aside, how you have trained Pilot such a special trick? It's actually a cute thing and I hope you will send me the video... I wanna see the trick... 😁
I'll have to figure out how to record it!
