I slept until 4:00 p.m.


I feel rested but that schedule sure messes with my work schedule.

I don't know how you function so sleep deprived.....
If you can sleep on the weekends then maybe you have a good monday?
The end of the semester is approaching for jeff. When do you guys get a break?

My brother and sister also have mood issues/mental health problems. On the surface my sister seems to have her life together, but at closer inspection, she could use a good deal of help, which she has always refused. My brother has always had a very bad temper and dealt with his problems with alcohol and avoidance. It's possible he's been able to deal with his alcohol problem in the couple of years since I've seen him. After all, I have.


I can't imagine how stressful it must be to just struggle every night to try to "perform," never mind have to get through every day running on fumes. I can definitely see how your mood would suffer

I get very frustrated with my own health problems. I think that "trapped" would be a good way to put it.

Default seems counterproductive / self sabatoge

When I get sleepy, I ignore the sleepy feeling from the meds and push through by finding something
to do -- computer, tv, reading, music, cleaning the kitchen, . . .


========

There were some times in my life that I could force myself to bed.
I am still successful about that some nights. Lately, not so much.

Thank you, Bizi.

==============================
My sis on the phone said she wants to visit the North Carolina brother
with her husband in July.
UGH!

That messes up my potential plans for seeing him.
It will not work to have sister and BIL and me there at the same time --
mostly because sister and her husband do not like me . . .
they think that I am crazy.

Brother is only a little bit available in the summer and he has not given us his
availability dates yet -- he will know at the end of the May when he has
time off from work

I was looking forward to seeing brother.

You were making plans first.
It is not fair that you would have to change your plans.
sorry life is not always fair......

I'm sorry that you were feeling so overwhelmed yesterday Mari. I hope you are feeling a little better today

**** your sister and BIL. They are missing out on all the wonderful things you have to offer as a person. You are better off not having them in your life and avoiding them…

I'm sorry that that means that you are going to have a hard time making arrangements to see your brother. I hope that the scheduling works out, and you get those dates soon, since you really want to see him
