It may seem minor compared to what you are up against, but like you I couldn't sleep at night and I have found drinking chamomile tea with honey before bed I just fall straight to sleep.
I still get the most bizarre dreams but at least I am not full of anxiety before sleep
Becky,
I tried to email you but it says your email option is turned off.

I just read some of the other posts and the second one you wrote. I felt compelled to post again.
PLEASE HONEY, I do understand wanting to hurt yourself. We ALL do it in SOME way or another. Can you PLEASE post on the SI board AND can you call a pdoc OR a hot line of some sort. PLEASE call a friend. You can call me or I could call you. PLEASE don't hurt yourself. I just told someone ELSE this...you WILL be hurting and punishing the wrong person here. YES we would ALL love to see our perps punished, burn in hell, shot to death or whatever...We usually do not get that "pleasure". SO...think about it. Stop tying to hurt the wrong one here. Talk to someone about getting those feeling out about the perp. Maybe write down what you would like to have had done. Tell someone what you would do if you could. Do ANYTHING but hurt yourself. You have NO reason to punish YOU!
I totally KNOW this is a hard one to believe. But trust me, I know what I am talking about. Everytime one of us hurts ourselves, we are punishing the wrong people. And...we KNOW who the right ones are...Call a friend or tdoc, or call a hotline. Or, get me your number and I will call you, or you can call me. Ok please promise us you will NOT hurt yourself...we are all feeling your pain and we want to help you honey.

I am so sorry for your pain. When you talk about the April pain, I can relate. My bad time of the year is around Xmas. I wish I could say something to help. I have to FORCE myself to fight off suicidal thoughts at that time of year. I make myself play games or just do things to NOT think of the worst things! If your mind is obsessive like mine, it is extremely hard to follow my own advice.
My heart and soul go out to you and Leo. I'm so sorry to hear about Leo's latest heart attack. He is so young. Again I wish I could help. Have you gotten in touch with lots and lots of other doctors around the country? Are there cutting edge treatments somewhere else that might help? Could the two of you possibly live in a place that has medical people right there to keep a closer eye on Leo. A place where you can live your "regular" life but have immediate help if needed?
I will say prayers for both of you. My arms are around you keeping you both as safe as possible! If I CAN do anything, please don't hesitate to ask!
With warm heart and hands,

Hold onto to us please, and the moment you feel like harming, please please please come here. I know you feel alone and we sometimes want to be alone but please reach out, break that cycle.
We can be the next best thing to your mom, I still feel she is very much with you but not with your physically, she wants you to know she is there for you, I am sure you feel her at times.
