Emotions and sleep problems

I just finished writing a reply to one of the threads current on here and once i finished writing it, i have become emotional. This never was me. These are lyme expressions of emotions. If i were to be talking now, my voice would be breaking up and i would not be able to speak. Tears are forming in my eyes with frustration of my situation. Such events as the feeling now occur way too often, even daily, and they affect how i function as i try to do my regular business of being an architect.

The second problem i am having is with sleep. Nights i cannot sleep, but give me any daytime situation, and i want to fall asleep any time. This afternoon when i was coming back from a business meeting an hours drive away from home, i had to pull off the highway twice because i was fearing i would drive off the road because the sleep was coming on so much. And at night time, i very often count only 3 or 4 hours of sleep when i am trying to sleep 8 or 9 hours. Then the mind is replaying all kinds of scenarios with our 2 estranged adult kids who do not want anything to do with their parents. That hurts and that really affects my emotions. And its going to be christmas soon and there will be no contact with any of the 3 grandchildren we now have. Thats the way it is........ I hope that wife and i will somehow get through this holiday time ...............xfmlg

When i wrote the above i must have had a premonition. Just now i just finished up cleaning our basement where we had a flood of 3 " of water from a combination storm/sanitary sewer backup. Just finishing moping it up now.
