Can you try being understanding and kind to yourself. Try little tasks each day if you can. Just five or ten minutes whatever you can manage. Also make plenty of time for things you enjoy. Try giving yourself more time for you. Try deep breathing and meditation to help you get grounded. Don’t feel bad about your lack desire, energy or focus it is understandable at this time. When you start taking care of your needs this will improve in time.

Thank you, it’s hard bc husband understands but had an affair 2 yrz ago. Three teenagers….1 special needs, 1 adhd…and my husband was horrible to me this past year…after 24 years together and he’s like a different person….mid life crisis….so delusional and one day kind and one day short temper and I cannot afford to kick him out bc of me finally having a breakdown bc of being strong and I do everything for all my 3 kids…everything. I’ve always been so strong and am like a shell of my former self. The insomnia flares the fibromyalgia and thus breakdown took me down completely. I’m trying to be kind and not feel guilty about this. But I’m now dependent on my husband bc I’m not bringing in money. Just want to get back to strong self. But it’s slower than I expected. Thank you for listening. Never put myself on a chat group. Nice to hear others and your support and help. Thank you

thank u for that information. I have Medicaid so I doubt it would cover that…. But I will look into it. Thank you so much for that, I had never heard about that. Yeah new to any chats ever in my life. But have 3 teens, 1 special needs, 1 adhd, parents don’t understand or support bc “I should get over it”. They don’t understand the horrible effects insomnia has, and it finally took me down at 49. Thank u
