About Me
I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 12 years now and we have two sons ages 10 and 5. I suffered from PPD after the birth of my 2nd son and went on Zoloft soon after for a few months. It worked wonders for me and after I weaned off it I stayed anxiety free until a few weeks ago. We took our two nieces in (ages 11 and 9) in January and the stress of the situation triggered my anxiety again. I went back on Zoloft and have felt better since the end of April.

I’m With You
My thoughts ane prayers are always with you my friend.
I’m With You
I am doing better...still have trouble sleeping, as that is currently where my anxiety is focused. My worst anxiety, particularly anxiety in combination with insomnia, tends to appear just prior to major life changes (for example, I'm preparing to move next weekend). Something about letting go prior to falling asleep scares me and I have no clue why, and this has plagued me the past several weeks. On the bright side, my anxiety and depression are letting up a bit. How are you?

Close Insomnia
I have suffered from severe anxiety and insomnia twice in my life..5 years ago after the birth of my second child, and as recently as this winter/fall.
Treatments
- Ambien Working / Worked
- I took this for about 7 weeks during this last episode of insomnia I had. I didn't sleep great with it, but it did get me enough hours of sleep each night to function.
- Restoril Working / Worked
- I took this 5 years ago when I suffered from insomnia. It worked ok, but left me feeling very groggy in the morning. It did allow me to get some sleep though each night.

Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My mom is an alcoholic and addicted to prescription medications. She's wasting her life away and I'm frustrated I can't find a way to help her.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- It helps to talk about my worries and frustrations.
- Talking Not Working
- I try to keep track of how she's doing and tell her I love her and worry about her. She lies to me so I never really know how she is until someone else tells me.
- Writing Working / Worked
- When I get really upset about something, it helps me to write out my feelings about it.
