Crying

Somehow I stumbled into a disturbing FB image tonight.

----
The image was related to
~sleep
~something specific about my particular way to fall asleep.


This is the message I left

'Deactivating my account for the moment. Reach me by text or email or FB Messenger . . .. or homing pigeon -- whichever works best. All is well. Namaste

I private messaged my cell phone number to one brother's daughter
and to the other brother's d-in-law before I de-activated
AND I sent email to Work Buddy because we do something together on FB for work.
====
At some later time, I will "re-activate" or close account complete.

Or maybe leave it the way it is now (de-activated) for ever.

Mari, I hope that deactivating your FB account works for you.

This is not about me but I am a member of two "closed" (invitation-only) FB groups but nothing else. One of them is for the moderators and administrators of another world-wide health board and the other is for my extended family - both, in different ways, give us a chance to talk in private.

Maybe setting up a closed FB group might work for you?

[Mari]

That is a good idea. Thanks.
When I can handle it, I will look into that.
I am mostly on FB for my two brothers (because they do not call)
and a few cousins.

Also for a little work stuff but I can do that in closed group too I suppose.
Or find a way to drop it.

I'm sorry that whatever you came across was so upsetting, and I hope that the break from Facebook works out for you

I hope that you feel better about what happened soon, Mari

Kay,

I really believe I am going to give up on sleep.
It has been a torture.

Now it is impossible.

I know sleep is a constant battle for you. I can't imagine what you go through just trying to get a few hours in

We need that sleep so that our body can recharge… I have no idea how you've been able to function on the little sleep you manage to get

I know that you have been desperately frustrated with your sleep problems for a long time, and whatever you came across on FB has upset you further, but please don't give up

Did you get anywhere with the woman who makes the weighted sleep blankets? Wasn't there another kind of blanket you put up a link to as well?

I know that you don't regularly use sleep meds…

Please try your best to block out whatever you found on FB. Decide to treat it as fiction if that's at all possible
