I noticed yesterday how you slipped your very real life concerns into your responses rather than into your original post.

I don't see it as letting your friend down so much as recognizing your limitations. And once you've forgiven yourself, you may find it a bit easier to sleep without all that pressure on you.

It sounds, under the circumstances, as if your daughter asking about siblings could also be a reminder of your grief.

Forgive me if I am presuming too much.

May I ask you if you are significantly smarter than your therapist, and able to bamboozle him/her a bit with your intelligence? Is it at all possible you are dancing around things you need to work on? A not-so-uncommon phenomenon among the very intelligent. Again, please forgive my intrusion. It's just that you mention how your therapist assures you that you are functioning on a very high level, while I hear some pain that perhaps is not fully accounted for by biochemical causes, and that could be adding to your sleep difficulties.

By the way, has your husband tried Breathe Right strips? (My husband tells me they work well on my snoring). Or if that isn't sufficient, I hear there are some nifty laser surgeries to shrink extra tissue that are done right in the doctor's office to reduce snoring. Seems like a good nights sleep for you would be helped by a silent night from him.

Hope I haven't offended.
