Have tried keeping myself busy and loading up the calendar for a week, its the night times that get me the most when i lay there and try to switch off. So i try to go working on something until midnight and then sleep straight away and be so tired i cant stay awake. Not sustainable i know. I feel bad because what i am dealing with is nothing compared to what i read here so i feel silly. I am focusing on the end of the week and the good times then...the body urge to 'run'becomes overwhelming. What do others do? Need some advice here.
