Sorry the Effexor withdrawal is causing issues again. Boy, that is TOUGH. Poor Alex. It's so hard when they beg and you don't know what the heck to do...let them go through a perhaps temporary uncomfortable and distressing period (worse than uncomfortable but can't think of the right words now) or just give it to them. What's the best thing to do? I don't know! So frustrating!

I am encouraged DH is keeping his job for now at least...let's hope for a long time to come. It sounds like the company may be piling additional work on his shoulders as well. I'm sorry he isn't handling this stress well. I know men when it comes to their jobs just cannot seem to keep it together so well. I also know you said he has struggled with anxiety quite a lot. I am happy he wants to do something about it, finally!

In the meantime, I hope you are o.k. I know this is an incredibly stressful situation right now. When I had my iron deficiency issues I slept all the time. I could barely stay awake at all. So I know the exhaustion and feeling you cannot stay awake. It is also so frustrating because there is so much to do and you really don't WANT to sleep but cannot help it.
