You probably need more than 6 hours in any case. I felt horribly depressed and awful for the longest time when I was trying to sleep with my ex, Mr Snuggly. I can't sleep w/someone touching me - he couldn't sleep without. I still remember the morning after I kicked him out and got decent sleep for the first time in 6 months. It was like being reborn.

But depression isn't something you win or fail at. It's an illness. the negative self talk about how you think you're handling it only serves to make you feel more like shit. and you know? That's not ok. You would have compassion for anyone else who is sick...where is your compassion for you? I love you, be nice to you. Honey. I adore you.

Too pragmatic, I know, but I had a horrible year a couple of years ago - dad died when I was 8 months pregnant, huz lost job just as I went on mat leave, roof needed replacing - and somehow, it got better. It always does. Keep on writing. The only thing I can offer is that the bad times never last forever.

Keep on Keepin on. We do don't we ? In spite of the fact that it might be such a challenge and despite the fact that we may just want to give up and run away from it all..

I totally understand about the stigma of taking medication. I've too been there. I am there. It's a rocky, hard road to travel. In time you will do what you know is best. *hugs* Thank you for taking the time to comment.

And reading this (while at work) has hit such a cord - as it seems to have with many - that I've got tears running down my cheeks. So, as I work with mostly men (construction too - how about that) I've had to stab myself in the arm with a letter opener, so I can say I hurt myself..... I think it's so much easier for someone on the outside to give a bit of perspective, as we get sooooo caught up in the "I'm not good enough" mind set (guilty here, too), we don't see our forest for our trees. What I've learned about you.....you've moved homes, you have two young children, you work full time, and right now it's supporting your family (my god woman!), you still to all the wife/mom stuff at home, because that's what mom's do, you're worried that your job is a little less secure, and trying to keep all that together on 6 hours of sleep?? That's impossible. For what you're doing, you need to go out, and buy yourself a catsuit, boots and a cape, because you are being super woman, and not giving yourself ANY credit. Or space. And it's hard to do those things. My husband is in construction, and we are treading water - added up our debt yesterday, and what we owe, on top of our mortgage, is like a mortgage in itself. So....I'm on "meds" to keep the anxiety at bay, and sleeping pills, so I can get caught up from not sleeping much since my 5 year old was born. And who cares about taking the medication - if you were diabetic, you wouldn't not take your insulin, because "you should be able to manage without it'? Why is this different? Keeping you in my thoughts - see, there are people you don't know exist out here routing for you. xo J Sam,
