[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 184653, member: 3444"] Okay, so not to hijack this thread, but Janet and Heather you lead me to ask what you think causes insomnia in your cases -- 'cuz I just can't seem to get to bed before midnight most nights, and am usually up until 2am... sometimes later. I'm usually online here or reading email or surfing the net about stuff related to difficult child's or playing mindless computer games like Spider Solitaire, or reading or... you get the picture. I just can't seem to shut off my head. And yes, I take medications for anxiety. So WTH? I figured my medications were working because I'm not a raving b!tch like I used to be when the kids were little and I was completely overwhelmed with life. I am fairly patient. I don't cry at the drop of a hat. I'm not suicidal (tho up until about 8 months ago, the thought did cross my mind occasionally). I'm fairly productive during the day (but would like to be MORE so). (by the way, I usually only have 1 cup of coffee in the morning. One or two diet colas during the day.) Is it just the fact that I've been dealing with a load of stuff for a looooong time? (Hmmm, husband's brain surgery, difficult child 1's illness, difficult child 2's instability, and 17+ years of marital issues due to husband's undx'd mental health problems that were unresolved until his surgery... to name a few.) Huh? Huh? What is it? For the LOVE OF PETE, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME???? Okay. Good to get that out. We now return you to our regular thread programming... [/QUOTE]
