Urgh, I just retreated into myself in a non-communicative, depressed way. It was not a productive visit... :/

I don't sleep well. I can't get to sleep before some stupid time, and then I have bad dreams or a restless sleep when I do. I slept better with the Crohn's and on 40mg Pred than I do now.

Ah okay. To be honest, that would mess me up too. I can't even watch most of the news, I'm such a coward. I can also sympathise with thyroid problems, having an autoimmune thyroid condition myself! It sounds like your brother believed before his crisis of faith, though, whereas I have never believed... :-/

Anyway, I'm near London, if ever you want to fly over... >.>

Well, sometimes those visits are productive, other times not. Not being able to sleep really can bring you down emotionally. I am so sorry, that's hard. It may seem silly, but I've heard that lavender is supposed to be helpful. Whether it's essential oils (which I'm pretty doubtful on for most things, but I think lavender is a good one), or a lavender bath or sprinkling your pillow with it. It's supposed to help relax.

He did believe, but I think a lot of it was he was raised in the belief. There comes a time that you can't rely on what your parents taught you and you have to know for yourself, and that's what he went through.

I would LOVE to come....if I ever get enough money and health, London would be one of my first choices. I've never been, but I love movies and pictures of England.
