Today was my last visit with the Insomnia center. It has been good. Yes, I sometimes still have a few bad nights, but I know have tools to deal with them, prevent them, and keep them from adding up.<\/p>\n
I wish I had known about the center sooner, but there you go. If you are having trouble going to sleep or staying asleep, it is worth it to look into. I don\u2019t do well on sleeping pills, and I have a lot of sleep disrupters already, so going to a program that avoids the pill and helps me with the disrupters is all good.<\/p>\n
I do urge others who have trouble sleeping to try it. It didn\u2019t hurt <smile> They actually screen you to make sure it won\u2019t make things worse in other areas, and it is billed and treated as a health issue. So I still kept going to my counselor to work on other problems.<\/p>\n
By the way, as a teacher, seeing a counselor who works with children is a good idea \u2013 for me, it\u2019s often a reality check \u2013 as she works with both groups. She also uses me as a source, as I have insight to the school system she doesn\u2019t have, and will reserve extra time for me to help her and other patients. All good.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also a good idea to have someone you trust when you are loosing weight and dealing with those issues.<\/p>\n
I also don\u2019t do any type of mental health drugs so having someone to talk to — especially when diabetes care gets overwhelming is good. She doesn\u2019t always get it, but I can usually make her understand it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
