Going through a rough time

[Kyliecancer25]

Where do I start I'll make it short me and my bf had been smoking drugs for over 5 years, I have 3 children to a previous partner. Drugs got the better of my bf and he lost his cool one night smashed alot of things up including my friend's car and our house he then got his unlicensed gun out and threatened to kill me aiming it at me....anyway he was arrested thrown in jail my kids were taken off me and my family abonded me because I decided to support my bf. So I lost him lost my kids had to pick up all the pieces like telling his family his boss cleaning the house n sorting my friend's car out as well as fight my addiction which I'm happy to say I'm 23 days into no drugs and getting better everyday. I go to counseling and I'm off to rehab in a month and have supervised visits with my children but IV got very bad anxiety from everything that has happened. I'm very spiritual and I brought some healing crystals to help and they do but my biggest problem at the moment is I can't sleep!!! I go to bed and I start overthinking all I want to do is sleep I go to sleep most nights around 1am but I always wake up a hour or two later and can't go back to sleep, it's frustrating and horrible. IV never had this problem before the accident only happened 24 days ago so it's still fresh and I'm worried sick for my bf who I hardly hear from as I'm a victim and he is not allowed contact with me.also when I do finly fall asleep I have strange or scary dreams which I don't care about because at least I'm asleep. IV tried meditation walking eating healthy soft music yoga lavender oils my crystal stones and nothing is helping can anyone please help me I have started getting headaches from the lack of sleep also but I'm a big no no when it comes to pharmaceutical pills I'm all for natural please help me I'm desperate thank you

You Need Sleep Right Now. Maybe This Will Help.

Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, itching, watery eyes, itchy eyes/nose/throat, cough, runny nose, and sneezing. It is also used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting and dizziness caused by motion sickness. "Diphenhydramine can also be used to help you relax and fall asleep."

What YOU Do In Relationships Is Your Business.... However I'd Re-Think Some Things...

Thanks

Kylie, your body is readjusting to being off of drugs. You have your own decisions of course. I honor the fact that you want to do things naturally. After putting chemicals in your body and brain for so long, medical intervention may be helpful for a time.

Additionally, I hear you focused on your boyfriend. I imagine it’s a tough situation. You have three beautiful children who need their mom healthy and whole. Please take care of their mom. I commend you for your sobriety. I know it’s not easy.

Hi there

Thanks for your advice and kind words. I have to come to realize I need to focus on ME and my children rather then worry about my partner. So that is what I plan to do! Rehab and seeing my children and staying sober is most important and every day sober is making me see whats more important! I was wondering if it could be my body suddenly having no drugs must be a shock to the system I know the first few weeks was very hard on my body and my head with withdrawals which I managed to beat with meditation walking and keeping busy. Don't get me wrong I still have the odd hand shakes and feeling sick and massive headaches plus my anxiety is threw the roof but I try to stay strong and every time I get a craving I think of my children. I find deep breaths which I found someone else wrote on another post I was reading really helps so I tried this when my anxiety would kick it and it worked wonders.

24 days sober and im very proud of myself

thanks again
