I used to sleep as much as I possibly could( with 5 children) when I was misdiagnosed with clinical depression and was put on antidepressant after antidepressant. Since my husband has been gone I haven't been able to sleep more than 4 or 5 hours. I refuse to nap even though I've been sick with a cold for over a week now. Every time I'm sleeping pretty decently, I have dreams about my husband before he got very far into his addiction. When he was nice, loving,funny, healthy. When family came before an addiction. If I wake up and go back to sleep, I continue the dream. They are nice, but I know it's not real anymore. Very upsetting!

I have vivid dreams as well. I like to wake up, journal them and have a good cry, then shred the paper. In the winter I tossed it in the fireplace. Hugs. We are with you in spirit
