Could you please help me? Just wondering if there are any other single moms who struggle with staying awake, and could you tell me how you handle your children? I don't know how to explain my dilema. I constantly am reminded by my family that someone is going to start looking into my parenting abilities and that they will not understand that I am sick and can't wake up. I feel like a failure at everything anymore. Please handle with care. I don't think I can take anymore critisism or shoulds or oughts. Sincerely -0happyday

I would tell your family to Wake Up. I used to fall asleep in the doctors offices with my kids. I also fell asleep on the chair outside their classrooms while I waited for parent teacher interviews. Take your kids to bed with you if they are little enough. Ask for help? Explain to your family that other people like me have this problem too. I once slept for 3 days at our cottage. I just could not get my body to move. It was like a mini coma. You have lots of support here. Have a good day and nap often.

Dear Mfromcanada, My oldest daughter just told me that the other people who have this seem to manage with their children. I told her that some of them have husbands. I guess she's monitoring the board. Love and I will write more later after I compose myself and try to do some urgent bill paying and taxes. 0happyday
Thank you for your comments and support.

Ohappy....am sorry you are having a rough time. Sounds like you have younger children. What my main concern is......Are you not sleeping at night? Is this part of the reason for the tiredness during daylight hours? I was having a terrible time myself...staying awake during the day....and I have only one pre-teen.....but I finally realized it was due to lack of sleep due to worry and itching. Then the dr. prescribed 10mg Atarax...Antihistamine knocked me right out..no itching and slept like a baby ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT. It had been months of unrestful sleep....and I became SLEEP DEPRIVED.....
Now I'm not saying to get a prescription for Atarax.....just YOU need to get some sleep kid!!! If I'm wrong about the lack of night-time sleep I apologize.....but am suspecting...that's the root cause. Take care of YOU!!!!!
Love,
~Bugsy

Oh Happy Day;
Whatever you do, don't take her to the doctors or hospital. The federal government pays for "foster parenting" to the states. The states are grabbing people's children and also start planning adoptions. There is an underground movement against this as well as Morgellons. For a while, I was fighting them both. I had to give all my money to my daughters attorneys and another grand for a psych eval on her. They told her if she agreed with me that I was sick with a real disease, they wouldn't help her. Don't apply for aid or anything yet. We need to talk and use all the caution you can.
You have to get some help if you are falling asleep. Does your state have any resources for this (don't contact anyone yet? We'll talk some more, but be very careful. Can you find someone to live with you to help out in exchange for a place to live?
I'll be thinking and worried about you. I just got a vibration from my source telling me to work with you on this.
Will call you probably tomorrow unless you want to talk later tonight. Or call me ANyTIME. I will send you my number. I know you can't take any more stress, but you can't imagine what would happen if they took your daughter. That's how I lost everything I own...it just about killed me.

ohappyday,,,I think the only thing you need is to get your daughter's trust....you can simply explain to her you are not a stone,,you are a human and sometimes it is your right to care about your needs...you can explain to her that a mother loves her kids and thinks of them even in a deep coma..then your daughter will be relaxed easily. I often fall in a deep coma after my lunch and my daughter knows if she fires the house I cant wake up,on the other hand she knows I need this type of coma ,,,so Dont worry..our kids can understand if you can explain to them correctly.

Ohappyday.
I told you to let me know if you get too overwhelmed. Otherwise, I will call you when I am going to NC and will definately stop and see if there is anything else I can do for you.
