[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 560719, member: 3419"] Dstc, I am so sorry, but so glad you did the treadmill yesterday! Yes, it does change things. It changes your seratonin level and cuts down on your cortisol. That will help ... it will keep you from catching colds and help you sleep at night. I love sleeping too. Hibernating, reading in bed, being alone. I crave it. I would narrow your stress scope and forget about your mom and totally focus on you and your kids. I hate to say it, but there is nothing you can do about your mom. There is only one of you and you are not responsible for her. You are responsible for yourself and your kids. Get Caller ID ifyou don't already have it and screen your mom's calls. Do not answer no matter what, even if you get a msg that she's in the ER psychiatric unit. In fact, that would be a good thing because someone else would be dealing with-her. If you feel guilty, send a card every 10 days, something generic, thinking of you but I've been sick/busy, etc. I would also get a test for Epstein Barr. It does not come with-a regular CBC. You have to specifically ask for it. I had it several yrs ago and seriously thought I was losing my mind. I didn't even want to open Christmas presents because the thought of writing thank you notes sent me to tears! [/QUOTE]
