and I don't like it one bit.
I haven't been around much mostly because my daughter hogs the computer most of the time and I've been busy.
But what I'm powerless over is my energy levels. I can't take much more of this whole being tired crap. I get so tired that all I can do is go back to sleep mean while my children are destroying the house and being neglected.
Now I only have two weeks left with them then they go back to school. But I'm tired of limping along. I want to be the mother I use to be before depression and sleep apnea hit.
I feel powerless to stop this since there is nothing I can do to change it. I've tried every thing to maintain a good sleep schedule tried exercise and every thing in between but nothing helps.
Now I'm waiting for the CPAP but the doctor is taking so long to get back to me. I"m hopeful that this works cause I'd like to get back to life. And a clean house. I think my depression is also linked to not being able to be awake and alert.

I understand that feeling too, the kids go back to school on Monday and I feel like I missed out and wasted precious time with them because of my issues.
Its such a feat to still get things done when your moving thru molasses, like you, I try to do all the right self care things....and that dog wont hunt : (
I'm just focusing on each day, each hour....some are ok, some suck and some are downright miserable...but I hold on to those hours that dont suck and cram as much as I can into them..
Im sorry your going thru this....(((((((GIANT HUGS)))))
I agree with Sufferjet, I had my CPAP for about a month now and am just starting to really get the benefits from it.
I have started being able to sleep longer, and be more rested than I have in a very long . Hopefully your Dr. will get off the stick soon.
I hope that CPAP gets here ASAP! How's your nutrition? Are you properly fueling your body and mind?
(We've missed you!)
I hope things come good for you I really do dear doorknob
