Jt I am not suprised you feel vacant sometimes , your brain has had so much to cope with and you have had hardly any sleep. I think you are coping well.Even though it is in the past it will take you a while to really feel like it is behind you.
You will feel better but some days you will be all over the place - it doesn't mean you aren't trying.Maybe physical exercise might get rid of some tension and at least distract you for a while. Take care hope you get some more suggestions

I really don't know tbh, but as dreaming is in the lighter stage of sleep and sleeping tablets sort of "knock you out" they may be good in the short term until you get counselling etc. IMO.
Take care and I hope you get a more informed reply , definately worth looking into I would think

justthinking- you poor thing I am glad you realise you are not alone, I have been where you are and it is difficult and i still live with it, and see that person around.

take any offers of support they are all genuine. all the best.

hi jt, thinking of you and sending whatever support i can over the airwaves - or whatever. fwiw, your feelings seem quite understandable given what's happened - so don't beat yourself up about that or anything else.

JT.

I have emailed you my numbers.

Hi JT

Really pleased you have had good news and feeling more upbeat, remember it's possible next time you are having a bum day...

I have only just seen this thread. I can't believe I didn't read it before.
re the sleep, can I recommend two things that really helped me after I had dd and had an awful time in hospital that let to my having panic attacks every time I closed my eyes. One was taking a supplement of calcium and magnesium before bed (Osteocare). Magnesium is good for sleep. And I took a homeopathic type remedy called Avena sativa comp Drops from Weleda - bought from local health shop on advice from an acupuncturist/homeopath. I'm normally a HUGE sceptic but needed to do something as I was just not sleeping at all during the night. You put drops in water. It might just be coincidence or placebo, but this really did seem to help and can't do any harm.
As for the rest of it, what can I say. What a vile scumbag he is. I'd happily help you castrate him. You have been AMAZINGLY, UNBELIEVABLY brave. I am just so impressed and awed by your courage.

Sorry to hear about the not sleeping JT - it's not surprising. I'm an insomnia sufferer of old - and without the trauma you have been through.
Can you try not to actually think about whether you sleep or not? If you spend the evening worring about whether you will sleep I can tell you exactly what will happen ! Watch something interesting or read something you actually want to read, have a bath, and don't go to bed until you feel a bit sleepy? Put your head out of the back door and get a few breaths of fresh air? Or sit outside for the last half hour of daylight with a nice cold drink?
Sorry you're not geting a resonse from the police - I bet your calls are stuck in some admin logjam to do with people on hol. Have you got a victim support officer or anything? (sorry if I have missed this info)

hi jt, smell is the most evocative of our senses - i.e. most apt to trigger memories. might be a good idea to find another perfume. you so are brave! you are you are you are you are, so there

I have heard that magnesium can help so I am sure you will get some benefit. Is there anyone you can talk to ? I know it is really hard(understatement) but try not to think of the whole police thing tonight.
You will get through this and come out the other side and in the future when something crap happens you will know it is not really important compared to what you have already got through. You have been really brave , and will feel better but it will take quite a while and you will have some days when you feel overwhelmed(SP)

bk is so right about the sense of smell being especially apt to trigger memories, JT. Sorry even your favourite perfume has been ruined for you by that pig.
And she's right about the being brave part too. Almost anyone who doesn't have school-age children gets a holiday in June IMO and that could well be a contributory factor to the delays.

Soory JT it's been a while. Hope you are alright. xxx
