Dear DiMarie,
I understand about the sleep. I prefer the day time for lots of reasons.
But day work necessitate night sleep of course.
I think you will be ready for work -- even if you have a rough couple of first days from being tired.
And yes, the pdoc should be able to help you get through this patch.

The best thing for me to sleep earlier (before daybreak) is to go outside in the sun -- either sit and read or walk. Yeah, I read that you don't have sun weather yet. You will.

I can see how even though the support group is important, it might wear you down if you are the kind of person who has to help people.
Still if you think it helps more than hurts, maybe you will keep going.

Do what soothes you.
God holds you in the palm of his hand during this terrible time.

M.
