Answer 1

That's rough! You probably shouldn't do a lot of driving.

Answer 2

Practicing some breathing exercises help a lot
for worries, depression, stress, anxieties, etc. !
Mindfulness of Breathing exercises:
1) Be in a comfortable position, whether sitting
or lying down.
2) Have someone watch your other children for
about 10 or 15 min. then build up the time later.
Then close your eyes, and concentrate
totally on your breathing.
3) At the end of your first inhalation of oxygen,
count one. Keep doing this until you get to
ten.
4) Then focus your attention on breathing only
through your nostrils. which filter out all
the things, which are not healthy to breath
into your lungs. Be aware of the various
sensations through your nostrils, while you
continue the counting. When you get to
ten, start again at one.
5) When a distracting thought enters your mind
allow it to pass through {your mind], w/out
analyzing it, or judging it, or trying to fix it.
And then gently, patiently bring your full
attention back to your breath. Every time,
a distracting thought {any thought which
would take your attention of your breath),
comes to your mind, you need to use this
skillful, disciplinary process. And many
thoughts do come into our minds, especially
thoughts of worry, or pressing thoughts
which often dictate to us that we need to
do something else which is more impt.
Practice, practice, practice. This really
does work.

P.S. - the mindfulness of breathing helps with anger a lot too. Reading the book: "Working with Anger. by: Thubten Chodron will help
also, if your occasional anger really bothers
you. My wife went through the anger thing too, and I have in the past, when I was intolerant of others beliefs. Be very Patient with Yourself, and continue the practice of the Mindfulness of Breathing daily.
"This meditative practice, the mindfulness of breathing exercises are what Medical Doctors, many Psychiatrists, and especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapists teach their patients to help them use their intelligence to control symptoms of depression, anxiety, Bipolar,
ADHD, worries, lonliness and many other unwanted mental and
emotional states. Check out the books I have suggested to you. You'll do just fine. I have full
confidence in you; simply believe in yourself as well.

IF you ever have any suicidal tendencies,
please call your family Psychiatrist immediately

Answer 3

You need to see your doctor, prolonged lack of sleep will make you disoriented and unable to cope with simple tasks like boiling a kettle in safety.
You will wake up, and your logical mind knows this, its the illogical part that is taking over and you need help to get back to a normal sleep pattern.

Answer 5

You remind me of my child when she said she was scared in case she forgot to keep breathing...
& I said, your body is programmed to do that for you,
you don't have to keep remembering to breathe,
it's automatic.

Same as with sleeping.
Your brain will tell you when it's had enough sleep
& you will wake up.
If that didn't happen, we wouldn't exist.
Ahh! Is that what you're getting at?
We're all really asleep & we need to wake up?
