What this "expert" left out about sleeping is that there is no rolling over in bed automatically while sleeping. That is a real sleep disturbance which I experience every night, waking up in exactly the same position, with all its pressure, as I fell asleep on. I figure out another position and wake up a few hours later again. No one knows or cares about this symptom. My doctor doesn't; my family doesn't; only in ONE conversation with a friend was there any appreciation of this for a few secs.

Please stop looking serious it is a demand of the job you are saying you are dedicated toWhy experts talking about psychic disorder are always serious to this extent that a normal person would be scared to this extent that he would try to run away from the world by hook or by crook if they are asked to meet these persons again.The only thing a person wants is the escape from you although a person or society in need of you wants to call you Massiah (the Saviour ).
