Hello - I'm new to this site and am not sure exactly where this will post to, but before I go insane I just need to get this off my chest. I feel like I've worn out my welcome talking about this with my friends and boyfriend. I also feel guilty "complaining" because I made a decision to go through with the Brava system, it's not some unfortunate condition that has happened to me.
I am absolutely fed up. I've only been wearing the system for 3 weeks and cannot imagine wearing it for at least another 9 because I missed 3 nights.
The first night, I had no excuse to miss. The second missed night (not in a row) my cat was dying and felt it much more important to hold him next to me and cuddle him during his last hours of his life. The third missed night, I took some NyQuil ZZZ's because and thought it would help. I woke up in the morning and my bra was off...lol. I laugh because even my subconcious doesn't want me to wear these things!
My once normal, exciting social life has turned into coming home from work, napping for a few hours, putting the Brava system on at about 7:00 pm, doing a few chores, then trying to go to bed by 8:30 pm so that between 8:30 pm and 6:00 am (9.5 hours) I can maybe squeeze in 3-4 hours of sleep. When I see my boyfriend on some weekends, Brava goes on later, but then I have to forget planning on doing anything in the morning the next day because I have to wear this contraption.
The swelling in the morning gives me hope. Then within 2 hours it is gone, right along with hope. I don't want to give up beacuse I feel as if I would have wasted the last 3 weeks and quite a bit of money, BUT I am so sad and miss sleep more than I can describe.
So my question is, what is it, I mean really what was the one (or however many) main thing that kept you, other Brava users, going?? Did you ever reach a point where the psychological pain of this system was so overwhelming that you did stop using it and/or try again later? I guess I'm just looking for someone who knows what I'm going through. Thank you so much
