I was sitting here thinking about halt. I'm not angry or lonely but I can and will do something about hungry and tired. I haven't eaten anything for about 24 hours now so I got up and made myself a small bowl of soup. I don't feel hungry but I know I will sick soon if I don't eat something.....so I'm taking it small and slow. I plan on getting as much sleep as possible. I will make myself better one day at a time....just the shock was really scary. Oh and it's still there ...I'm scared for my son.
I'm not about to start missing work like I have done in the past. I will continue with my life the best I can and pray that God will take away my fears.
Thank you all for the support right now...I really needed it and I'm sure a whole lot more going forward.
((( hugs ))))

Prayers for your continued program work and peace, Cathy. You sure have a lot of friends here, sister. I loved one member's suggestion to let her worry for you for awhile so you can sleep.

Hi Cathy
Please do be gentle and take care of yourself. I remember when my AH was spiraling last year, I barely ate or slept. And I stayed home from work. It was terrible, I really wasn't using my best program, but I was doing the best I could at the time. I found so much peace on MIP and at meetings. I wish you a calm and restful night. Just take it one night, one day at a time.
I got a tip from my counsellor when I am not sure which one it is. She said if you listen to the sound of water running it stimulates the part of the brain that felt safe in the womb. I thought I would share it works for me.
((((((Cathy)))))))), I hope you manage to get some quality rest and just enough food in your tummy to keep you afloat, going into work for me is a helpful tool when I have had a bad episode with our son, it seems daunting and yet once I am there it helps to ease my mind of worry and being around others makes me feel glad I didn't curl up and isolate, I am so relieved your son is safe and in good hands, i hope you find some peace in this outcome, thinking of you.
Well the rest didn't happen. Last night around 10pm I was awakened by the cats fighting. I was not in the bed right, dark, turned over and would you believe I fell off the bed right on my head. Now I can hardly move it and the pain go's down my arms. I'm sitting thinking...should I just go to the hospital or wait and tell the doctor when I go. Can you get a whiplash type injury or is it just a sprain. I don't know just concern about it a little. What a mess I'm in now.
This too shall pass but right now I don't need to physically hurt. Just makes my emotions worse.

I am so sorry that you fell and hurt yourself. I believe it is better to be safe than sorry so that it would be best to check this out with your Doctor. I hate Ers myself so maybe just a call to his office would help
