Re: sleeping pills
"you don't have to tell me I really shouldn't be doing this".
No, WE don't have to tell you, because YOU know the truth.
I'm the "queen of insomnia". And it's taken a toll on me, physically, emotionally, etc. BUT (big BUTT) I have also heard the HELL people go through who get stuck on sleeping pills.
So pick your poison. And I mean that, literally. YOU CHOOSE. No matter what you think, YOU CHOOSE. If I sound harsh, I don't mean to. But when YOU post saying "I'm not going to listen to anything I don't want to hear"....hmmmm......
go figure.
Good luck. I went to a sleep doctor. It did and didn't help. He told me "your environment is toxic, and I don't mean chemical". You might consider HIS advice. He didn't even KNOW me. I can only hope you are as blessed as I have been (but then I went through 12 years of incomnia and hell before I WOULD LISTEN.
So again, good luck. And may heaven help you.
with love
