day 4...I think

Not sure if it's officially day 4 or day 5. Can't remember if I took my last pill on Fri or Sat. I don't think it matters cuz I'm still jittery...all night long. I think this is the worst part of going thru w/d for me....not sleeping well. I am a sleep hound. I have to have 7-8 hours of solid sleep to function well the next day. But I am up most of the night twitching and turning, maddening. Wish I had access to valium! It would help alot. Last night I resorted to a couple of shots of brandy to relax the jitters, and that did help for a while, just not long enough.
Anyway, I started a new job yesterday, and for the most part, that kept me busy. Didn't think much about physical stuff and I was exhausted by the time I got home. (Wish that meant I slept well tho). It might be an ok job. At least I have something to do and a paycheck. Hoping for a good day today.
Just came in to say "hey"

Glad to hear you made it o.k. on the job!  The sleeplessness/restlessness/anxiety stuff is the worst!  I wish you well, and encourage you to keep that mind as busy as you can.
