Hi, i understand that you are having financial difficulties, but please see your doctor to talk about this! You say you want to be there for your child, so you need to get healthy again. This is no way to live, as you know and your post really worries me! Please make an appointment asap, if you have a psychiatrist it would be even better to see him/her. Do you have any family or friends you can confide in? I know how debilitating sleep deprivation can be, i've been there myself, but this is more serious than 'just' a lack of sleep. I could suggest things you could take but am concerned to do this because of your eating pattern right now and your weight loss. It really is important that you get some help now. Please pick up the phone and get in touch with someone that you think could help you. You shouldn't have to deal with this on your own.

I totally agree with my friend Delilia that you need to see a doctor about your condition. Not sleeping can really play havoc on our systems. Mine becomes pain issues. You could try some benedryl. You can safely take up to 75 mg at bedtime. I would try 50mg or 2 pills. You can always add the third. If this doesn't help, you really do need to see a doctor. I also am concerned with your weight loss. It sounds like something else is going on there. Only a medical doctor can help with these issues. A lot of communities have centers that go on a sliding scale for payment. If you can't afford one, they take care of it. Xanax is a good drug to help with anxiety & sleep issues. I have heard a lot of nightmares about ambien & apparently it did not help you anyway. Other than benadryl, the only other OTC I know of that might help would be sominex. Welcome to the site, & I wish you the best...

Maybe you can have someone you trust take care of your child and go to the ER??? If you get too dehydrated, lack of minerals etc, it could be a dangerous
situation for both of you. Stay in touch with us here, sending hugs

Go to the ER. There has 2 b some place for care. You have to figure out how to get strong and live for your kids. My husband of 37 years abused me and left. I was in a womens shelter, etc. I understand the panic and stress. My husband spent much of his life in Viet Nam and at sea-That wasn't as lonely as being rejected.
Do you go to church where you can be helped? Have you had your thyroid checked? Sometimes stress seems to set that off, and you might have too much thyroid in your system-go to an ER-call the county-call the state-

This is my 1st# time answering questions but I couldnt let yours pass by. Ive been suffering major depression for many years along with hole crap of other stuff. I feel your pain I too sufer as u explained n still do. I have pushed away all people close to me or so called friends deserted me when i m down n have nothing left to give them. I have 21yr old n jail on his way to prison n taking care of his 2small children listen to them cry daily for their daddy i have daughter who just turned 18n that was stolen from me at young age her father ran n ran till now she blames me n hates me n my 14yr old sees my pain n been living w/mom whos sick n depressed. My body has shut down n i have all kinds of physical issues. I try not to burden any1 n nowu due to my physical n mental probs i barely work so now i struggle to care for my family n have no1 to help. Sound familiar huh. We need help need support system need good dr's n counselors that actually listen.

Do u have any1 u can reach out n talk to? Wish i could say it cant get any worse cuz most of times it does. I do think of others that have it lots worse n find away way to help them. I try find energy to do small things w/the kids to make them happy n same w/try help others. Sounds crazy but giving what lil i have left of myself to others does help. I know we have to take care of ourselves b4 we take care of others so u need find way get some sleep etc. Definitely c a doctor or call ask a nurse for advice. My kids/grandkids only ones who have kept me going they remind me i have to take care of myself n reach out for help. I am more then happy to talk to u outside of this forum. Im not sure how we do this since I'm brand new but if u r still there reaching out for help I'm right beside u. Take care n let me know k
Oh spotfree u make me have hope I'm sry to hear your not doing gd either but ya unfortunitly I dobt have anyone long story short my mom abused me so I was put in fostercare at 8 and the system isn't yhe greatest I hd to go thru several homes until I foubd one safe that treated me right then I emansipated at 16 so had to grow up fast the cervical cancer at 17.

hi again machella, wow we do have a lot more incommon i too was abused as a child n was n abusive foster home. n there is hope sometimes i doubt there is but i know there is because we have children(child) depends on us n we dont want the same for our kids that we had. n i dont know if there is a way we can talk one on one since we r both new guess we will have to check that out. i have my grandkids right now n have to take a test (im taking online classes, which r suffering cuz of my issues) but I m gonna check it out how we can share our personal info without writing it on here if u get a chance check it out ok? i m sure others on here can let us know how we go about it. I can IM on whichever message thingy u use. i think gmail has im too. do u have a gmail ? i will b right back have to change a poopie. lol take care n smile with your beautiful child take some big hugs n kisses n know that i n many more people out there do care.

I feel your pain. So many of us are struggling with so many adversities & difficulties right now. Please know that I'll add your families to my prayer list. I'll ask the Blessed Virgin Mother to show her Mercy & Love to you both.
Good luck & best wishes! from Wendy :)
thank you for your prayers n for the info.
I agree we All have problems and difficulties and they are affecting our health. My advice is a little different. I listen to KLove Radio. It is called "Positive & Encouraging," and that it is for me. Online you will find it @ www.KLOVERadio.com. They have people ready and available to listen to your concerns and pray for you. They also have Counseling info advertised or persons offering advice each day. Personally they cannot refer you, yet even Online you can find resourceful information. GOD bless you ladies! I will ask for GOD's Divine Mercy for you all.
