Glad he's out of hospital, and yes, I know exactly what you mean... I've hit that crash-sleep after needing to be UltraWonderWoman and needed a few days to get the sleep schedule back. You'll do it, Arfie. Big supportive vibes to you.

I'm glad your beloved is holding steady. Being awake at night can be depressing. Take care of yourself too.

Glad to hear he's home. I understand the brutal pace while loved one is sick. When my father was sick this year, the pace was brutal to take care of him, work and go to school. I was proud of how well I was doing, but I was running on adrenaline. The wave that followed was crushing depression, confusion which eventually caused me to lose my job, and end up in the hospital.

Arfie, it sounds like you are dealing with it as you go which my not feel very good right now, but it is the proper way to handle it. You need to give yourself credit for how you are handling things.

There is nothing wrong with having an afternoon sleep, but may next time you could set an alarm so you do not sleep to long and end up awake at night. For me depression is often worse at night, it quiet and a little to easy to think and beat yourself up with memories and thoughts. It could also be because the meds are wearing off too.. Either way, it is ok to have a bad day, tomorrow is a new day with a fresh start. Tell yourself this and reach out to the next day trying to make it a little better than today.

You have been dealing with a lot and I think anyone feeling the kind of stress you have been dealing with would be feeling depressed too. You are doing a great job of dealing with things as they come up and never forget that.
