I had to go back and look to see if I had posted anything about my doctor's visit this week that included a conversation about sleep deprivation, its negative affects - specifically my self-diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. I don't know which came first... the off sleep patterns or the 4:00 a.m. wake-up with worry about everything from soup to nuts... So my doctor decided to go the route of trying to help me regulate my sleep for 5 days and then look at the anxiety if it's still an issue.

Last night, I slept about 6 hours and today I feel a little better. Give this lunesta 4 more nights and then see how my sleep patterns have changed.

I've decided that lack of sleep is going to be my first excuse with "time of the month" being my second for all emotional upheaval!

wow...I'm fortunate I don't have the anxiety thing....do you think that's something recent?

Excuses are handy...of course, you know what they say about them ;-)

Hope you're dreaming as I type this...

Maybe "excuse" was a poor choice of words... I tend to have phrases I use rather than tell someone that I really just don't want to talk about it.... none of their ^$&%!?*$ business, just a brush off I guess ( ... )
