You are such a good person for trying to reach her. I know this might be shot in the dark...but have you ever heard about a weighted blanket?

I have one and it helps. Here is a website that I can vouch for as I personally own one of their well-made products:

May not be the end all answer - but maybe it might help?

Please don't feel guilty about needing a break. We are only human. You have to take time out to replenish yourself!

I don't know all the ends and outs of this particular situation...but I can say that more times than not there is a secret that may be hampering her...and we are only as sick as our secrets.

Of course, I may be way off base here - just something to consider...

It must be so heart-breaking to love someone so much as you obviously do and want to try and help and it just doesn't seem to be working out right now.

When I am at my wits ends...I mean - REALLY at my wits end...I try to fall asleep with an open heart and mind and ask the 'powers to be' to give me a sign as to what to do next. Most times the answers come in a highly symbolic (and creative) way via dreams...thing is, I have to wake up right away and scribble the dream on paper lest I forget it.

((((Good luck and all the best all the way around))))
