I was going to leave a comment on your Obama speech post, since none of your other nutty liberal friends have chimed in yet, and a comment on how signing you up for ACLU e-mails was genius and I wish I had thought of it, but I’m just going to have to let those go since this post definitely deserves some attention.

It was suggested by our Dr because I refused prescrition sleep aids. I was afraid I would not wake up if one of the kids needed me. Melatonin does not knock me out and give me a walking in the clouds hangover the next day.<br /><br />Hang in Christina Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961506551755163260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662209762016573627.post-37086478360422324922009-09-07T16:17:10.459-05:002009-09-07T16:17:10.459-05:00Big hugs to you.

I am serious... there are so many possible reasons for your insomnia, from PAD to perimenopause and a zillion things in between that a doctor could help you with.

It almost sounds like you have a case of major insomnia with maybe some post adoption depression (PAD)? I have 2 friends who both had post adoption depression, one was the typical description, the other was just really really tired, overwhelmed and angry (not so much depressed).<br /><br />I don't know how supportive your agency is, Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07634672497717328653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7662209762016573627.post-33840098931487184792009-09-06T11:40:03.699-05:002009-09-06T11:40:03.699-05:00Oh dear, you are WAY overtired.

We've had to use it with Linlee at times because of her autism. (Autistic children often do not produce enough melatonin themselves and need the extra boost.) You can get it over-the-counter at any pharmacy.<br /><br />I am going to be wishing you Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143134806920477850noreply@blogger.com
