Guest guest Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 After having terrible insomnia for 3 years now, my Dr finally decided it wasn't just menopause starting and checked my cortisol levels over a 24 hour period. Cortisol is the hormone our bodies produce that regulates so many things: mood, digestion, blood sugar, immunity, fertility, and stamina to name a few. My cortisol levels throughout the day are completely opposite what is considered normal, and explains the insomnia and so much more. I got this way from the psychological stress involved with trying to have a relationship with nada. Her little roller-coaster hell has twisted me up for years, and my adrenal glands are just worn out. When I was NC with nada, it was great for a while. But then like Charlotte says, even minimal contact with nada ends up turning into a toxic monster. I apologize if this next statement offends anyone, but I really think the only good nada is a dead nada. I can't seem to manage well knowing she's out there somewhere and I can't take let down my guard for a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
