I've thought I was doing pretty well, but the more attention I've been paying lately, the more I'm forced to conclude that I'm struggling a bit.
I've been getting grouchy and snappish, for no apparent reason. The things that seem to fix it are either A) eating or B) taking a pain pill. So I seem to be experiencing pain, but not feeling it. And not always realizing I'm in need of food.
I'm tired most of the time, and Gina says my sleep has been very restless of late. I had stopped taking any medicine for sleep quite awhile ago. I had only taken the pills intermittently as it was, but I think I need to call my doc and have him renew that prescription. And it should probably come as no surprise to me that I am not focusing on things as well as I would like.
What has me a bit mystified is the why of it all. Things are going well between us...probably the best that they have been in a long time. We have a variety of external stressors, but they don't seem any bigger than what we've often dealt with. I just don't know...

I think you'll find things easier to deal with as you get better quality of sleep, Love. It will make a huge difference in how well you deal with the PTSD.
