Sleep

[Nikkisue]

My problem is I sleep so much it has been 18 months but if I don’t sleep when I need to I can’t function

My lovely (not so) decided after 14 years together to leave me six months after it happened because I think it made him realise that he could be left alone if something happened to me

Lovely not I’m fine now and see what a selfish human being he was and how I’m lucky to be free but at the time was devestated was trying to get better then this happened

I’m moving on slowly but surely and me my 2 dogs 1 cat and rabbit will make it 😉😬 xx

I'm so sorry you were abandoned at such a critical time Nikki but it's good to hear you've managed to hold onto your fighting spirit and you're hanging in there. Animals are such a comfort and never let you down, so sleep when you need to......so long as the food keeps coming they won't mind !

It’s been nearly a year now and I don’t feel abandoned now the best things is I can do what I want when I want which is amazing didn’t realise how little control I had over my life

I’m getting there but it takes so so long and I’m not good at waiting I have to sit myself down and just take it slowly it all takes time but I’m getting there

Thanks for your reply it all helps xx

Hiya. Yeah, my marriage bit the dust after my accident too. It happens a lot. I still get daily debilitating fatigue and have to sleep about 4 or 5 hours after waking. My brain 'batteries' just need a lot more charging these days. And my accident was 20 years ago. I have to pace myself. I take a drug called Modafinil to give me a boost when I need it but it definitely isn't a cure. I found that once my Marriage broke down that I could stop trying to keep up with my ex wife and concentrate on working out EXACTLY how my brain injury had changed me and try to work WITH it instead of fighting it. Good luck x

That is amazing to hear looks like we were both unlucky with the partners we chose as soon as something goes wrong they run away

I’m so relieved tho I feel so guilty sleeping but I can’t keep my eyes open and there’s no other way

I hoped it would get better on time but obviously not never mind at least we are still here

Thanks so much for the reply tho

I have days when I’m strong and days when I’m weak but I’m starting to understand that’s just me and way it goes so I’m happy with that

And being on here getting other people’s opinions really helps

Thanks you

Hiya,

You haven’t been abandoned, you’ve been set free!
