My sleep has been HORRIBLE. I wake up 1AM wide awake for hours. Then crash at 3 and it’s so hard to wake up at 5 for work. That’s with taking ambien at 8:30. I’m scared to not take the ambien and be awake all night and not functional for work. I begged off another week of hosting the daily Checkin on the stopdrinking community and I feel awful like I’ve let everyone down there. I’m on fire at work for the most part so that good. I am in need of some self care which is so hard to do with the child here. I see my therapist Wednesday and I’ve been needy texting her most of this week. My psych knows about my sleep and wants to switch me to ambien cr but AFTER I finish my bottle which is two more weeks. Something just isn’t right. If I didn’t have the child I might check out and do a reset at the hospital but that isn’t an option right now. Thanks for the vent.
You just can't catch a break! I hate that you're feeling like you are letting people down - I would like to believe that's not the case at all and that the community would completely understand and support you. I know I would. Self-care with children can be a lost cause, but I do hope you are able to find some moments to reset. Sending you all the positive thoughts I can muster.
