| Well, I'll be... but what you have implied is both in question and out of question, if you get my meaning, no pun intended.

| Mario, I agree with the thoughts of doggo, and poopy. I think dog is on target, stress can greatly change your biological patterns. <<< Yes, I know, but then maybe that is not so much of a cause, since I tend to combat stress with a very straight forward attitude regarding every single problem that rises in front of me, no matter what, you see.
What I actually want to avoid is the mere physical presence of her, and I only suffer because it does seem to me like I am being selfish for also keeping away from my daughter's presence as often as I could by doing so, which then might indeed be a source of real stress, one within me, turned against myself as some sort of punishment for such lack of proper parenthood.
The last few months of my wife's chemo has altered my sleep in the opposite direction of you. I go to bed at 9:00 and wake up between 3-5am to do chores, wash, check the kids homework, make lunches...supporting the house. <<< You're a good man, TK, keep it up! I hope the best for your wife and family.
It also sounds like you a fighting some depression. <<< The depression I might have been fighting has always been there, TK, one that would make me avoid social contact like the plague because I could always -for as long as I can remember, even as a kid - instinctively feel the presence of all the hipocrisy and make believe that goes around us on our daily lives and just could not bring myself to be good enough an actor to deal with that as people normally would do, but with the passing of the years I've developed more of an easy going attitude combined with witty Oscar Wilde type cynicism joke cracking and a very straightforward manner of conduct (some people hate me for that, btw, but then that's their problem) and have developed quite a tolerant personality, very different from the bitchy type I have once showed myself to be in order to bring all that wall of lies down with nothing more than agressiveness. I will now fight for a point, yes, as Poopy and a few others here well know, but now I usually find different ways to negotiate and not be the one responsible for eventual failures on working chores.
Depression combinded with stress is a devastating one, two punch. Poop is correct, seek some family counseling. If you have health insurance, chances are that it contains provisions for such events and would help ease some of the economic strain. <<< Thanks, TK, maybe I can bring myself to it on behalf of my daughter's well being.
Try to keep a positive attitude, focus on those things that make you happy. <<< Yeah, like music, although the administrative part of the deal is mostly hell, for people leave too much unnacounted for (but I am trying to get my hands down to it, which I have already succeeded in terms of band's finances, which were hectic before I stepped in). I truely believe you can out run depression and stress if you fill your time with positive activities. <<< Yeah, if only I could record daily... that would certainly have me happy as a bird.

| Sorry, Poops, but that was a bit too idiomatic even for me, you see, no matter how profficient I may be in English it's still my second language.

| Twenty years ago in the US, there was an ad campaign for Orange Juice. "Orange juice; it's not just for breakfast anymore." You still did pretty good Mario. Without knowing what I was referencing, you could tell I was referencing SUMthing. I'm just saying help is great if you can get it. I go every week by myself and every other week with the wife. |
