Was getting easier but then....

I was starting to feel better and more comfortable about my brother's situation after getting to see him (via television) on Friday and from the help through this forum. Then last night I had one nightmare after another about my brother. I woke up feeling like the first day all over again. I started worrying about things I never even thought about before. I thought my heart was starting to mend and my life getting easier to embrace.

Some friends of mine invited my husband and I to a small 'dinner party' last night and I got home feeling refreshed and vented. Could I have let myself get too relaxed? Is this my conscience punishing me for not being home worrying about my brother? I'd blame the alcohol..if there was any .

Here we go again.....

I don't believe your conscience is punishing you, rather that you probably had more excitement than usual and you weren't totally relaxed at bed time. I think it is great that you were able to get out and have a little enjoyment - no need to stay home and worry all the time, it won't make anything different. Best of Luck to you all.
