(10,828 posts)I've been having major insomnia attacks for weeks now. I was already in a funk following my sister's death in late January. The pandemic crisis has just made it worse. Sleeping late into the morning or clocking out during the middle of the day doesn't really help, just throws my body clock further into disarray.
So yes, I keep trying to put one foot in front of the other, force myself to accomplish tasks but it's as if a massive weight is sitting on my shoulders. I'm worried about my kids, friends and extended family who are all 700 miles way. Some very bad health news about our first expected grand baby (a girl, Cassandra) has only added to the sense of grief and weariness.
I'd like to rip up the calendar for 2020. Awful year so far.
That being said, my husband and I are still healthy though we're in the vulnerable age bracket and hubby has underlying medical conditions.
The Pollyanna side of my personality says: It could be worse. Still . . .
