The first month after my H left, I went to bed pretty much fifteen minutes after I got the kids down. Then one night I found myself absorbed in something and I didn't go up to bed till almost eleven. I've been behaving like a reasonably healthy adult ever since.
It helps to have stay-at-home GAL interests. Uncover a new author you've never read, get Duolingo and learn a language. Borrow audiobooks from the library for your commute. That sort of thing. Fill your head with thoughts that do more than hurt.
And hang in there!
