Not a good day....

Post by writergirl2002 » Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:08 am

I don't know if it is exhaustion from not having help yet or depression but today is a really bad day. I can't lift my arms and I can't think straight and I just keep crying and having anxiety attacks. The med supply company won't call back and my husband just told me, by yelling, that he won't leave me home alone with our six year old son because he doesn't trust me. I think they may have to hospitalize me at this point. I have never been as low as I am right now.

That waiting is hard. I felt so much worse the weeks I was waiting.

Do you have the prescription? If you know what you need you could certainly order it online and get it in a few days. Unless you have 100% coverage it would still be cheaper.

The sleep deprivation alone is enough to send you into the abyss, never mind the anxiety about the machine....I've been down in the well myself the past few days, and I can really relate to what you're going through. You get all kinds of desperate thoughts when you're pushing your body's limits. I wonder how much longer I'll be able to function at work on so little rest.

The sleep center where I did my study has a support group that meets tonight, as it happens, and I'm going to check it out. You might look around and see if there is a "live" group near you. The one I'm going to is moderated by a nurse from the sleep center.

Sending you hugs, and your family too. I'm sure it's not easy for your husband to see you so distressed.
