Lately I am finding that life is not that easy: what a concept, huh? Some days I feel that I am coasting through life until I see my doctor. Not that it was all bad news but it was very disturbing & frustrating. I won't go into details but I am very uncomfortable.
Also, just when I think I've got it licked, my sleep goes crazy again! Oh well...it is an ongoing battle to survive the night & boy, do I feel mindless & useless when I don't get enough sleep. Yeah, I go on & on about my sleep. I know it will get better again & that it is just a cycle I am going through again. I am ready for it to get regular & normal for me.
But.. I am not really complaining. My life is really good. I am actually enjoying the good days & the good times I have been having. My mom & I are getting along better--my husband I have had moments, but really don't the moments seem few & far between as we recover?
I am still grateful & sharing precious moments with all my Alanon friends. We are still a pretty tight -knit group & when I do go to meetings, I can really see that & the growth there has been in the last few years.
Bless you all for viewing my posts. I am so in need of feedback; any kind you can give!
Hang in there! The only thing that's certain is change ... the bad times don't last forever, and neither do the great times - so just remember that this, too, shall pass. Savor the good moments and know that you'll be okay through the not so good. :)
I know what you mean. We're doin ok and think, hey I'm recovering, then something comes along that is a set back. I guess that's what is meant about applying Al-Anon principles in all our affairs - we're gonna need it for a life time of highs and lows. I personally hope we all have more highs, but I guess it's unrealistic to think we can avoid any more lows. Darn it!
Kath...I have been taking some generic "PM" type asprin that my spouse gets from Walmart. I have at times the same problem you do with sleep and then laying awake and having to listen to the "little bitty shitty committee" in my head. God their all crazy aren't they? The "PM" model has a bit of sleep aid in it which helps alot and sometimes more like last night I took one at 10 and then woke up at 8 this morning. Do the math thats 10 undisturbed hours of shut eye!! Better than the 5 I got in the middle of the week. Hope that helps. (((((hugs)))))
