Hey NYC Chick-- How's it going??
Just had a thought when you mentioned you had taken ant-anxiety pills in the past. If anxiety is an ongoing issue for you have you ever considered CBT? Cognitive Behavior Therapy? It is a short term (like 16 weeks) form of therapy that has great outcomes for both anxiety and depression without medication. It did wonders for me - I credit it with finally allowing me to sleep (relatively!) normally again after my "year from hell" 7 years ago.
I know - you got a lot going on right now, but maybe file it away for a day when you can use it!!
We're all still hugging you tight over here at SR!!! :ghug
And another prayer coming your way!!
I hope you find a little peace of mind this weekend.....
Peace,
B.
