Another update from me, something I've realised only relatively recently. I'm sleeping a lot, lot better now.

I usually wake up after the five hours.Before it would have been four hours, and then I wouldn't have been able to fall back asleep again. But now I can fall asleep again for another couple of hours. That *never* would have been the case before.

I'm wondering if the horrendous adrenaline rush of the past year (and maybe bit more) is wearing off?

Some days I can also feel quite down, depressed almost. And some days I feel really exhausted.

At first I felt a bit panicky about these feelings, but I think I might be OK with them now.

Maybe the important thing is to carry on doing things for yourself when you feel like this? Even if it's really small things. So the momentum is always forwards. Small things might be very, very small things indeed...
