Once again the perp. in jail is appealing the case. I was feeling ok. Thinking well I won't worry about it unless he actually wins the appeal (for dismissal or new trial.) But tonight, I'm physically ill. I don't want my daughter to be put through the trial again. I guess xanax is my friend tonight

I understand exactly how you feel. I'm currently awaiting the first trial and I keeps me up at night even with the valium. All I can do is send love and solidarity your way. Just know you're not the only one and we'll get through this together

Easy on the Xanax and Valium, please. They are both quickly addictive, and withdrawal can be uncomfortable (Valium) or even deadly (Xanax). Both are dangerous to have around children dealing with PTSD.

Please consider guided meditation. Belleruth Naparstek has great relaxation MP3s that can easily help you to sleep and get through the day.

If you're still struggling, ask your doctor about Trazedone. It's a mild, nonaddictive antidepressant that can help you fall sleep within 1/2 an hour. That's been my limit, at least. I take a quarter of the prescribed dose, and it's exactly enough to get me to sleep.
