Open letter to those concerned

[LadyCibelle]

Hello friends, writers and acquaintances,

It’s with a lot of sadness that I’m writing to you this morning. I'm not UP to anything lately. I thought I was slowly getting on the road to recovery but another problem has grafted itself to my health situation; I cannot sleep anymore. For the past few weeks, no matter how tired I am or what time I go to bed, I wake up at 2h AM sharp and CANNOT go back to sleep no matter what I do.

I'm running on 1-2 hours of sleep/night and it's affecting every other area of my life. I'm slowly becoming a shadow of myself and my mental abilities are diminishing at a speed exponentially equivalent to how little I sleep. I cannot

concentrate on anything anymore, I don't find joy in anything anymore and I definitely don't like the person I'm becoming.

For all those reasons, I think it would be best if you all found interim editors/ shoulder to cry on/ soul bandage etc…to help you at present time. I cannot even help myself anymore and I definitely cannot help anyone anymore.

My deepest apology for letting you all down, it's not intentional and never was.

PS: I'll keep moderating the EF but it'll probably be my only contribution to Lit for the time being. I'm NOT in a good place in my life and in my head health-wise and I don't want to drag anybody down with me.

Been there. Sleep is a precoius thing to lose. Kind of tilts everything else out of balance when you don't get to rest the brain. I suggest asking a doctor about it. It's not an uncommon thing, and there are often many solutions.

Take care.

You're in my thoughts and prayers LadyC. Did you talk to your doctor about FM? Insomnia is a big symptom along with the pain and the other things you and I discussed.

I agree with the above suggestions - this is clearly more serious than just a sleeping problem, it's a sign that you're becoming burned-out. Some time alone to take care of your health is probably a good idea, but you might need medical help as well.

Take care of yourself.

*HUGS* LadyC.

Get well and come back. We'll miss you.

I agree, it sounds like a trip to the doctor is in order.

We love you LC, please take care of yourself. I hope you can feel the multitude of arms wrapped around you, holding you tight. If you need anything, anything at all, please don't hesitate to let us know.

I already said this in an email, but you need to confer with a sleep specialist, or at least your primary care phsician. My prayers are with and for you, lovely lady.

 

[Guest]

Agreed.

Take care, LadyC.

Oh no, LC! *hugs tight and cuddles*

PM me if you want or need me to send you anything... I have that insomnia blend of bath herbs and such, I have a healthy sleep tea, a dream tea and I am going to nosy and recommend taking an extra calcium supplement for bed. It works like a dream for a lot of people, even ones with FM or MS.

*hugs and hugs and hugs* Even if you just want me to pull out the cards- anything you want or need, let me know.
