Thank you all for posting.

I managed to get some sleep, finally. But it wasn't much and I don't feel rested.

Even through the pain, I often think the loneliness is the worst. I could be in my class, surrounded by thirty other people, and feel completely alone. I feel exhausted. Mentally, physically, and emotionally drained.

I've never tried meditation. It's probably one of the few suggestions I've never tried. I've tried eating healthy, exercising, journal writing. Sometimes I feel like I've tried it all. But clearly I haven't, because I haven't tried meditation. I think I'll give it a try. See if it helps. I don't have PTSD that I'm aware of. But the intrusive thoughts are occurring with more frequency lately than they used to. They make it hard to concentrate on anything.

Thank you again. I really, really hope I do, too.
