Completed Game: On the 12th Day of Giftmas
I'm so happy to hear you've been doing better! I know carrots trigger an IBS-like situation for me, so I hope you find your trigger foods soon!I am alive and finally doing better. I will work on getting addresses finalized and everything shipped within the next week. Everyone will receive some extra magic in their package for being so patient with me.
I figure the best way to go about this is to just be upfront about what has been happening. I have had sleep issues(I have three different sleep disorders...if you are curious about circadian rhythm disorders message me as I have them) for many years and they came to a head a few years back when my older daughter was born. I dealt with severe postpartum insomnia and anxiety that had me in and out of the ER and such for a few months. I got it under control with sleep medication that I have been using since then. It has worked without fail for me for three and half years until one night in early January when I had severe intestinal issues which have now been diagnosed as IBS. I have been on a roller coaster of barely sleeping, dealing with bad IBS flare ups, anxiety and depression returning, and recently a case of stress caused Shingles. We. have finally managed to nail down the sleep some and I am consistently sleeping 5 or so hours a night which is up from 2-3 in January.
The sleep is on an upward trend and I have upcoming appointments in the next month with the sleep experts in my area who deal with my specific sleep disorders. The IBS has calmed down and I am working on an elimination diet to deal with things. My mood is now stable and getting better due to therapy and an antidepressant. Remember if you can't manufacture your own brain chemicals; it's okay to take pills that help you. There shouldn't be a shame or stigma for needing some extra help and I am posting this to hopefully help anyone who might be struggling. You can always message me if you need a friend or some encouragement.
Very glad to hear about the improvements. And very much agree on the medication comments. Our bodies need some help sometimes. Nothing wrong with that.I am alive and finally doing better.

Shipping looks like it should be completed Tuesday. My older daughter was home sick all week with a bad stomach bug and the littler daughter has a bad cold and was home until yesterday. I have everything pulled finally and will be packaging over the weekend and verifying addresses. Shipping should be monday and drop off Tuesday.
Sorry for your news. I do hope things turn around for you - you’ve had more than enough challenges this year already.Shipping is delayed until the second half of this week. My great aunt passed away over the weekend and I will be escorting my grandmother to the service as she can't fly alone. My great aunt had a long full life and was ready to go as she was in pain. The service is a celebration of life and I am glad my grandmother will get to see the girls as well. I will be back to the forum in the second half of the week to ship stuff then.
All I have to ask is can it stop raining and pouring stuff to deal with over here.
