Exhaustion

When was the last time we got a good night's sleep? I can't remember? You try and do all the usual things before you try to go to sleep:

No exercise
No latenight snacks. Especially really spicy food.
No booze. Being 26 years sober, that's not an issue.
No loud noise or triggering stuff.

Eevn with doing that, you still feel constantly run down. It's like you have Addison's disease (adrenal burnout). The pain is always there. But what else can you do? Denial will just make it worse.

We try and do things in short spurts. Then, lots of rest. Going back to lots of salt, sugar and dairy stuff in our diet will just make things worse.

We don't want to go back to more meds and then constantly feel addicted.

But despite all of this, we know we're doing the right things. It's just that working to not dissociate all the time is exhausting. But you don't have a choice.

Denial will just make things worse.
