    ....what?

    She's had a death in the family and some other family issues from what I gather in another post.

    OP are you ok? Your post is a little hard to understand.

    I think you should go to a meeting. If you're trying to fill the hole in your heart with alcohol or pain pills, it won't work.

    Seek sobriety. That's more important than your weight.

    I was feeling overwhelmed very over whelmed. I,m okay husband was with my sister when she was dying he has severe PTSD from Vietnam. A jumping bean in bed with night sweats, a horrific screams. Her ex is praying around the clock to pass her to heaven and out of purgatory. I have nightmares of devils fire and water boarding. On the sain side, I' m staying true to my diet. I am so focused on getting healthy. No pill or drinking. Booze is an awful taste when I could enjoy a chocolate piece. I am sleep deprived, Some one said that when things fall apart... they may be falling in place.

    So sorry for all that you and your family are going through. It would be very hard for me to stick to a diet during all of that. You are a stronger person than you realize. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Do you and your husband sleep in the same bed? I could see how the PTSD could be interfering with your sleep.

    I can truly relate to your story though I have different pages in mine. I encourage you to go before God and seek him and his will in your life. I´m praying for you!

    I have bad grammar, what I meant by this , Was I wrote about this in a previous post. Not my last post. Yes, my husband has ptsd, we sleep in the same bed on a comforpedic mattress. 44 years of marriage. soul mates. My sister death was a unseen event, massive brain hemmorage, then in a coma. Two very young barely adult children. No father. Helping the last two weeks with arrangements their grief, I guess I was having a piece of my own pity party.

    Update...So I went to the Drs. She said my life was very full, Handling all as well is one could. Sleep deprivation she said was my biggest problem with out being able to shut my mind off. So I have to learn new relaxing skills. As for weight. I did give in an ask for my weight loss amount. -54lbs. in almost 6 months. Not 1/2 way to my goal yet, but I do feel better not carrying that extra load. As for live stress and things falling out of place. They are falling back into place...in a home, sometimes every one has an issue, and the energy it overpowers everyone. listening, loving, respecting each other.

    And Thankyou for every one who responded, They were so kind and inspiring to reach out for help.
