I wanted to take a min and tell you how very very sorry I am that you are so down . You have a right to be more then anyone here. Not only are you battleing pills but a medical prob and smoking as well . I feel just awful for you. I too smoke and even though I watched my grandmother (who pretty much raised me) die from cancer and suffer so much at the end of her life and I still can not find the will to quit. The dr told my grandma if she didnt quit she would die. Yet everytime I seen her she was puffing. That shows you the power these things have. I think it is funny how people say "just quit" . They do not know. I quit last New years and after the 1st 2 days I was willing to cut my own finger off for just one drag ! I think I could have choped 2 digets off for a whole smoke. Cigs become so much a part of everyday life that is is like giving up a friend. I would love to stop smoking and I know it is going to be the death of me but here I am looking for my lighter . I understand how they are. They have warnings on every pack yet I stand in line at the store to get mine . I am sure none of this helps at all but I really feel for you. You have a right to be sad. You have every right to be pissed off at me for complaining about me not sleeping well ! How stupid is my prob compared to yours right ! God I wish cigs were never invented . I wish there was some way to go back and stop you from starting this killer habit . But there is not. No time worp for you or me. I do understand how hard smokes are to kick . I can feel your sadness in your post and I am sorry . I wish I could help . Im sorry !
Dear Mandy,sweety I didnt mean to sound mean or mad at you.OH GOD IM SO SORRY.I didnt mean to come off like a b****.I have not had 8 hrs sleep in over 4 years.I can honestly say if I get 5 I am happy.But for the last 4 mths Im lucky to get 3 hrs of broken sleep.I feel so bad if it seemed mean.I hope you realize thats not how I am.I guess I suck at stress huh?Im very sorry to you or anyone else that thought I was being bitchy.Thank you for taking the time to write.I am very proud of how you are doing.Once again forgive me for being bitchy...mj
Hi Molly;
Persistent sleeplessness can be an indicator of depression. And you're feeling down, not for a day or two, but for a couple of weeks. Please consider talking to your doctor about this. It may not be depression, but if it is then it's very treatable. Life doesn't have to be so hard.
Take care;
Jim

I agree with Jim. MJ you shouldn't have to spend the rest of your life like this. Your doctor has got to beable to give you something non-addictive to sleep at night. I know I sent you an e-mail but I just wanted you to know, I think the world of you. You are entitled to be bit*hy sweetie. You are quitting smoking, having lack of sleep and your a woman. See I am a Bit*h and I don't even have that many excuses. LOL I want you to cheer up, I hate seeing you down in the dumps. I wished I lived closer I would come over and make you laugh. I know I could cause I am just goofy to even look at so my friends say:-) I'll send you a picture of Lindsay with her 8 teeth showing that should bring a smile to your face!
Seriously though talk to your doctor and if he can't help get a 2nd opinion.
Take care and hang in there.. We ALL love you, Rae
