The aftermath of my life after 9/11, when half my family died. How I am struggling to come back to the self my mother used to love and be proud of while still letting myself grow.

put hot-as-i-can-stand-it washcloth over eyes when eye muscles are twitching
I think you might need to stick "sleep" in there a couple of times, too. Otherwise you don't retain the material. You know the memorizing-stuff trick, right? If you've got to memorize vocab or formulae or something like that--anything rote--look at it until you've got it, right before you fall asleep. Then the second you wake up, grab the material again and review it. Really works.

Good luck!!
Does the washcloth work?? I hate it when my eyes get twitchy.
Good luck!
Sounds about right for this difficult moment.
Lyndsay, totally works. I lay down on my back, put the washcloth on, and within about 30 seconds the twitching has stopped.
