[soleil518]

I guess in my last post I didn't specify the main question. I appreciate ALL info (trust me), but I just want to know everyone's input on how long this torture will last.
God bless.

Its always worse at night because normally it is our reat time and these 45mins here, 1/2 hr there spell of "dazed sleep" I guess it could be called really get aggrevating. About the only way I even got a gauge on what sleep I may have gotten came in the form of a dream I would remember bits and pieces of..Then, somewhere around the two week mark I wasn't having any and that kinda drove me nuts as I had lost my gauge..One night you might get a couple hrs, maybe 3, and the next one of those constant glance at the clock nights..Once you get past the 2-1/2 to 3 week mark it start coming back pretty quick..Try to avoid naps during the day and get increments of exercise as best you can during the day. Sleep will improve for you but is just going to take a little longer..Its a struggle I know..A number of evenings I just threw a movie on and stared at it. Thatwas better than staring at the ceiling..:)..

Just keep counting those days and keep moving forward. When the aggrevating thoughts come at you, find a diversion. Even if its a walk to the mailbox, throwing some laundry in the washing machine, get a broom and sweep just for the heck of it,,get a piece of wood and take a piece of sandpaper and just sand on it for the H*ll of it...Anything.

Little by little things are getting better for you..Its hard to notice right now though. Within a week you will be able to sense it happening more and more, then the week afTer that ,it will be very apparent to you...Especially Sleep!

Thanks for all the sound advise (by the way had to change name- from soleil, as I forgot my password and COULD NOT log back in!) just to keep u on your toes! Anyway does it always seem worse at night? It's 1am here and I just wanna sleep!

Today should be your 6th day isn't it? Thats great(forget about the slip with your mom,,I'm not counting that as backing up)..

At first it was one day, now it is six, and soon to be many more..:)..If you can find the time, taking short walks that elevate your breathing some come to play now..Not overly exerting, but just enough to get your blood moving some..It feels tough at first, but it has a side effect of relieving some of the stress and anxiety in your system..

yeah I can understand the confusion with the two threads. Guess it was the WAY it was said. Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive right now. Like maybe,
"hey Soleil, can you just stick to one thread so we don't get confused?"
Anyway that's OVER. Lets move on.....
This morning I feel cills, freeeeezzzzing oh and a migrane from the pits of hell!!
