that is a hell of a lot to deal with in a fucking year, much less a couple of weeks. I am a little nutty about this (sort of like a rabid ex-smoker or new vegan) but you have GOT to get some sleep. I mean real, restful sleep. There is a reason the torturers of the world use sleep-deprivation as a tactic to break people.

You can't function, much less make decisions or plans when your brain doesn't work. What a mess - BUT you have made it through so far. Keep that in mind. Find some place safe and get some rest - even if it in a sleeping bag out in a campground. Even a good solid night in a quiet hotel if you have the $ will help you feel mare able to deal with all of this.

I am really sorry. You have ears and virtual hugs around here, always. Keep us in the loop, huh?
