Tim left tonight for his week gone

So tonight starts my first night alone for the next 5 nights :( I'm really hoping the tranxene with help with the anxiety ... not sure what the Effexor does .. or how long until I feel actually or full effects yet. I am going to try to sleep in our bed tonight and see what happens. A month ago when he went for the first time (which was only 3 nights) I got about 3 hours sleep the first night and was up at 3am with the worst anxiety attack and hysterically crying. So if that doesn't happen again then I consider it a plus! Otherwise I will be sleeping on the couch for the next week :( Wish me luck, I'll prob be posting a lot this week :(

Thanks Sheri Ann! I do feel a bit sleepy, so I'm hoping that falling asleep won't be a problem and the one thing I did notice is that the traxene has helped me stay asleep throughout the night. I find it more of a pain to sleep on the couch, which is why I don't want to start there .. because my alarm clock is upstairs, and having to go to work tomorrow (last month I had taken the days off work so it didn't matter where I slept or when I got up!) ... I'm just afraid that if it gets bad, I can see myself calling in sick to work ... which is what I do sometimes when the depression gets bad. Luckily it hasn't happened often and I wouldn't be penalized if I do call in .. so I wouldn't have to worry about that! But I really try not to call in and if I'm at work, it at least gives me something to do!

Thanks Jan - last night went OK .. better than last time, I had little trouble falling asleep and seemed to stay asleep although I was extremely tired this morning and the 5 extra min of sleep turned into 40 and I was late for work!! So I don't think I really slept quite as well as I thought ... so hopefully it will get better as the week goes on! I just know I really want a nap right now!!
