Thank you, Yitzock. It did get better eventually, but I´m still dog-tired. Today, I printed 87 documents I wrote last week. Recently, I´m drowned in an insane amount of work... 

Thank you, Yitzock. It got better at last, thankfully.

You feel stupid because you're TIRED.
As you've said, you might have to take these sleeping aids if nothing can bring you to sleep. It might sound silly but meditation (or just breathing techniques, really) help me. Not fall asleep, not just yet, but to feel calm enough and ready to sleep. You could try it, it doesn't hurt -assuming you haven't already.

Thank you Lily!

I've tried a lot of things... even sleeping with a teddy to calm me... I have a lot of thoughts in my head that keep me up, and when I fall asleep I wake from nightmares after a few hours... so I guess it's time for meds. 

I think of nicer things than that!
Tee Hee. 
And incidentally, dunno why I'm giving any advice at all:  seeing as I have a first class honours degree in insomnia!
But possibly that makes me an expert.
I know I sleep better when I haven't eaten so much...

Good night Lily!

I can't sleep in silence.. I've slept with the TV on for most of my life... 

I'll log off too I think, and see if I can get some sleep at least before waking from another stupid nightmare... recent events and therapy has really brought some stuff back to the surface. I might contact the clinic in the morning about sleeping pills... 

Good morning.
Well I'm only surprised I slept as well as I did(for me) last night...considering we had our Macmillan coffee morning at school and I was stuffed with sugar!
But I did go for a bit of a walk.
Mind you, my bed is wrecked!
We are getting a new one soon, but I think hubby may have to nail the slats into place something...my side of the mattress was buckled.
Either that or it will be mattress on the floor, until we buy the new bed!

Hello friends.
I haven't been around for a couple of weeks because I had really busy and quite rough times...
My little daughter had an accident at school and has a frakture of the clavicula. The worst is behind us, the pain is not that bad anymore and slowly but surely she can start to use her right hand again (which is kind of essential for a right-handed girl...). Luckily this doesn't require an operation but rucksack bandages for 3-4 weeks. And she needs a lot of help with the everyday stuff, and that doesn't really help her anyway hot temper ... (ask gently about it...) On top of it her class teacher asks me repeatedly when she will be able to fully participate again. I explained to her more than once that she will use her hand again as soon as it is possible without tremendous pain. And I told her I will work with her in the upcoming holidays, she's a clever little girl.
And hubby was on a business trip for a week, so on top I was alone with it all. After four days she developed an allergic skin reaction under the arm. In the hospital they gave her much softer and lighter rucksack bandages and happily I was able to wash her hair for the first time after the accident. And when I had managed that and was already dreaming away of sending all the three into their rooms and closing the day for myself with a glass of wine and a bit of telly and I dried the little one's hair what did I find?? LICE.... I checked my other two children and my oldest daughter was full of them as well..... She started yelling at me that she had told me she was itching since summer (what a pediatrician Iam, lol) and she can absolutely not miss school for one single day and she has her exams and they count for her A-levels and.....(she has her nervous breakdowns on a daily basis at the moment and the A-levels will take place in one year!). So that was another three hours of hair treatment, freezing the most important cuddlies, changing the beds etc...
And work is quite busy as well at the moment. The season of infectious deseases is about to start. Sooooo, I'm not much online these days. Though I often just have a quick check for news. And I'm looking forward to writing the secret santa fic.

 

Thanks, besley. It gets a little better each day.
Aw, thanks, Lautrela
And may I mention: I hate lice....

I'm sorry for all of this, mrshouse, Ugh. That sounds so rough for all of you! 

I hope it all gets better soon!
