Good night :)

That would be hard having him take the kids. You said he really is not a bad person in your bio. I am sure you would not allow them to go if you did not feel they were completely safe.

You are right, taking things as they come is a huge help. You will be learning so much about yourself thru all these changes.

I hope this other woman is ok.

good you are sleeping! hugs missy, debilyn

Pushka! I am just catching up on the board having had a crazy work week and two sick kids. I am sorry you are going through this right now. Your ESH has helped me SOOOOOOO much in the last months. Sending huge hugs and lots of support.

I know all too well the plague of insomnia, especially worry about the AH and overall guilt of just plain parenting and dealing with this disease. I can go weeks on end with my eyes suddenly wide open, just like you around 3AM!!!

I am so grateful every time I open my eyes and realize I have gotten more than 6 hours of sleep--that I was given the gift of sleep to have my body recharge. When I pray to my HP about my issues with my AH, I am usually worried most about trying to maintain my positive energy....sleep makes all the difference. If I can maintain that positive energy, I can do anything! You can too--(((((HUGS))))))

Sleep is a gift. I am going to start throwing in some exercise during the day. I've been taking the melatonin and that helped the night before and I think I'm overly hot which is so ironic .. lol .. room is probably 40 degrees and I'm sweating!! Well I'm bundled head to toe so that probably isn't helping .. lol .. with the heat. So maybe with the melatonin and exercising .. things will start to level out.

I'm having a difficult time with eating and I don't know if it's this stuff OR if it's the fact of course I'm fighting off a cold .. ugh!! The kids have both been a tad under the weather as well .. sooo it could be we all have some kind of virus. It's wearing me down a bit. Anyway, thank you so much for the support. It's literally one day at a time and usually it's more like one min at a time.

It's made such a HUGE difference to HALT each moment, .. a couple of times I have caught myself, realizing I haven't eaten or what I have eaten I really haven't eaten that much. So I'm paying attention to making sure that I have breakfast, checking my HALT again during the late morning especially being up early and then making sure I eat again. Having the kids here is a big blessing because dinner of course has to come for them too. So that reminds me it's time to eat as well. I think I have times where it's HHALT (hormonal, hungry, angry, lonely, tired) and now I'm going SHALT (Sleep, hungry, angry, lonely, tired).. lol.

Hugs P :)
