Hi Kyh, Glad you got some much-needed rest. I understand completely. I have a lot of GAL going on, but still struggle with sleep from time to time. It is getting easier though, so hang in there.
For me, I've noticed that I can sometimes be a bit manic about GAL, in an attempt to fill the empty spaces - the ones that are vacated every other week when S is with STBXH. When I notice that, I step back and just try to give myself more time and space.
What I've also noticed is that the more time I spend alone, the more I seem to be finding my way, trying out different things. Some activities will always stick, like photography, others - not so much. Think about something you used to like to do and give it a whirl again. Doesn't have to be something big, can be something really small ... point is, just dig into your memory banks and try something out ... we've been given the gift of time, right? so in my book it's ok to catch up on sleep, but also important to use some of it to figure out who we are now.
xoxoxo hang in there and {{{{{{hugs}}}}}
