Need Encouragement

So in an effort to adjust my sleep patterns, I again started taking my prescription trazadone to go to sleep earlier. However, it now makes me sleep until almost lunchtime. Then I can't get to sleep the next evening. I was awake until 3 a.m. last night, texted my boss to tell him I can't make it in for 8 a.m. (I transport vehicles part-time for Hertz, and 4 hours of sleep isn't going to cut it when driving in Atlanta traffic). I have anxiety that at some point, the boss is going to cut me loose. I actually really enjoy my job, driving everything from mini-SUVs to luxury cars. I hate that I can't get my life to where I want it. Plus, my application for VA disability benefits is still pending, and my finances are withering away. I've almost exhausted my 401K savings to stay afloat. I need some encouragement to stay the course.

Sorry for your struggle. Sometimes it's so hard to see what could possibly come down the pipeline to save us. I always try to have that idea or bring back that idea that I don't know the future and if there's nothing better I can do right in front of me just keep going the best I can and pat myself on the back for any daily progress I make no matter how small. And if this day is a loser, I get a fresh start tomorrow. Daily faith. You have my empathy am I I have struggled a lot in my life but somehow it all works out sooner or later. Have faith in the universe there are things out there that haven't found you yet.
