wow, it sounds like H has been through so much. crazy. I can't even imagine. the transition not just to civilian life but to civilian student life must be so hard. I am SO glad that you sent that article to him. I am glad that he is into chinese medicine too! I have 2 good friends who are halfway through medical school and also studying chinese medicine... maybe I could ask them what chinese medicine has to say about PTSD? prob get him to a acupuncturist or something.
Im so with One Day. Michelle, you are truly wonderful. Your light is so strong, it shines through the screen and illuminates my room. In person you must be blindingly bright!
Hey, about the not being able to sleep thing... I think I actually figured it out. I did not believe anything would work b/c I had been having so much troulbe sleeping for so long... like 6 monhts of 2-4 hours a night. What I did was:
-b vitamins -calcium magnesium pill -vitamin c
Also: -exercise EVERY DAY -go to bed and wake up at the same time no matter what -if I can't fall asleep after 30 minutes, get out of bed and do something else for 30 minutes, then get back into bed -don't use the bed for anything except for sleeping at night -NO NAPS
I didn't think it would work, but somehow it reset my internal clock, and now I feel way more human.
Hang in there girl.... you got so much going for you. This is so not about you.... this is all about H... and right now it's just about taking care of you and finding ways to fill your heart with joy of any kind, from any source, until that joy starts to flow more and more.
