I had insomnia for a few days as I had trouble adjusting to night shift this week and likely caused by my anxiety. I felt very tired which at times made my anxiety worse and to adjust my med schedules again. But one of my shifts was cancelled with help my anxiety but screwed up by sleep as slept for a few hours that night. Apparently the superiors didn’t show and the weather was really bad as there were really bad thunderstorms and power outages in the area.
My wife was sick as well with problems stemming for her HS. It was hard to see her in pain it was difficult for her to get around. She may have to take sick time off of work and was not been able to go out of the house.
I have found an alternative to coffee and water drinking as I have gotten into drinking peppermint which has helped with my insomnia and has soothed my nerves. I not saying it is a miracle drink but has helped me a bit with this. I look forward to trying more teas in the future as a means of cutting down my caffeine intake.
I have woken up with my stomach in knots a couple of times and with a headache but I have new med which has helped. I started a new book From Panic To Power by Lucinda Bassett which has been a helpful read this far.
Overall, it has been a very up and down week and hope things to settle as I go into day shifts this next week. I hope for more ups than downs this next week as well.
