I gave up and called my doctor

So as some of you know I struggle with sleeping. I rarely get a full night's rest. I'm exhausted all the time well. It's really taking a toll on me so today I made a video appointment with my doctor and told him I give up please help me. There is a sleeping pill he's been wanting me to try but I am afraid to. I'm afraid it will knock me out. My daughter sleep walks from time to time and my son will some time walk up at 2 am and think it's time to start the day. I have to be able to hear them. I have to be able to wake up. But I'm not alone anymore I have Joel here and he's been pushing me to try these pills. He will be able to get up if one of the kids do get up in the middle of the night. So I did it. I'll pick them up tonight. I will give them a try Friday night. I have to get some sleep. I can't keep this up.

I think it's best you need to think of YOUR health and well being too...you are always helping others or your kids. But if your body needs sleep, and it does, I think these are DEFINITELY worth a try. We can't help others if we do not fill our own cup TOO. I bet they will help!!! 🪻🌟

@Coralmist how is a dad that yells all the time, drinks and smokes cigars all the time and says he can't sleep a good man or dad. they need to be with their mother so we can take better care of them.

I've never heard of seen him write of yelling at the kids. Only good and fun things. And I think it's admirable. @Willow2025 @Willow2025

First thing. Never ever do a video call. With anyone. It's a spying tool for the government to spy on you.

You should care more about your privacy and your 1st, 4th and other amendment rights.

Anyone one can intercept them calls without your knowledge. Try seeing a doctor in person in person in your home without no cellphones, smart cameras, smart TVs or smart speakers around.

As you not sleeping

Find something to do that makes dog ass tired. Like dig up half acre yard, remove the sod, weeds, rocks, break up the dirt clumps, make raised beds. That's day one. That's should last about 12 hours with you and your kids with just couple of pitchforks

I bet you will sleep better if you're exhausted

Try it, accept the help. You know that the children will be just as safe with Joel as they are with you.

Good.

@LordShadowfire now the true test will be if I can actually make myself take them. I've had panic attacks in the past trying to convince myself to take a sleeping pill

you seem to struggle with a lot of things, maybe you aren't the best person to be raising those disabled kids of your

Do. Not. Trust. Sleeping. Pills. Try valerian root drops, two drops to a glass of water, smells like year long unwashed gym socks, tastes worse, awesome sleep.
