How many of you have MNT? those middle of the night thoughts that just keep coming back like how am i going to make rent? what is he/she going to do in court tommorrow? And what do you do to get back to sleep?

We all do. When you find out please let me know.

That used to happen to me a lot when I first found out about the affair. One thing that helped was if I took Excedrin PM before going to bed. It would knock me out enough that I'd usually manage to sleep through the night.

Still fighting that one. I just go with it, watch TV or go online till I get tired again (usually 1 hour before I have to get up). And I try to restrain myself from the emails and text mess.

It's a terrible feeling to be wide awake with these thoughts. I tried a prescription sleep aid, but it didn't really work...and it made my more depressed in the morning.

One night, I got up at 2 a.m. for warm milk. Didn't get back to sleep.

So I got up again at 3 a.m. for an aspirin. Didn't get back to sleep.

Then I got up again at 4 a.m. and had a shot of grappa. That worked! (LOL)

I try to deal with my stresses, "bad" thoughts, and worries during the day as best I can, particularly during my evening walks. It seems to be helping a little.

Hang in there!
