The problem with those 5 hour energy drinks is that when they are out of your system, you CRASH hard. In college, I lived on the Vivran caffeine pills working all night then going directly to classes. That shaking feeling inside while awake was uncomfortable & when I didn't need to stay awake, I would sleep for several days while my body recovered each week. Knowing this is temporary for you.....but you do need to think ahead now that you can take it slower. Find a safe park (state park or something where you can let the kids run around & you can relax & breathe & get some fresh air.......unless you have care for your kids when you finally arrive at where you are going, you can't afford the crash the body goes through coming off of those drinks.

You used wisdom in getting away......you have run far enough where it's safe to slow down a bit & breath & let your mind get back in control of your situation rather than reacting as you are in the mode of doing right now. Your kids are going to need a functional Mother continually throughout this. It is an ok time now to back off from your panic of escape even though you are still in the process of fleeing. You can breathe & now you can put your self care back as your priority along with your kids.

Caring about you & your kids & praying for God's protection & guidance
