It’s 8 weeks since I lost my son, I feel like i have no purpose in life now.
I have gone back to work, because i only got paid for 4 weeks, and i had the funeral and a wake to pay for.
I dont sleep at night, i cant switch off when i go to bed until about 4 or 5am, then i have to be up for work at 6.30am, i just feel utterly exhausted. My doctor gave me some sleeping pills which helped alot, but wont issue anymore because he said they are addictive, i just want to sleep.
I dont feel as though my family are very supportive to me either.
Mothers day was just horrible, sorry i just need to offload.
