Kath,
I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. I hope you can get some sleep tonight. I'm sending you some ZzzzzZZzzz now.You did the right thing by cleaning out his place and donating his stuff. It will go to help people who need it. It was generous and maternal of you to help him make a clean break with the house he was living in with the g/f.
As hard as it is, you must realize that he is where he is because of choices that he made. Imagine where he'd be without your concern and love. Even if your love comes in the form of letting him make his own mistakes, it's still love. You owe it to yourself to realize that the guilt you feel is toxic and [proabably] irrational. It will hurt you more than it will ever help him.
Can you call your GP and ask for a short term sleeping pill prescription? If this is not your style, an antihistimine (benedryl) usually knocks me right out (and clears my nose up too!)
