Hi everyone:
I'm not sure how this works but I am going to give it a college try. A good friend of mine has found support,comfort and answers here. I have suffered for many years from depression. I only came to realize the extent of my illness after a devastating event in my life two years ago. I sought medical help,therapy and started on a round of Prozac which lifted some of the depression and anxiety. It has been 6+ months since I last took meds due to lack of insurance. I am insured now and have an appointment with a pdoc 3/11/03. Look forward to having some relief from the symtomology of the disease that meds provide. I have read many post and I am amazed at the knowledge, love and support that is here. I lack knowledge of meds, side effects, etc and have many q's. I also suffer from drug & alcohol abuse (I have 15 + years of recovery) so the plate is pretty full if you know what I mean. ie : obsessive/compulsive behavior.
If anyone has any helpful suggestions about things to do to fall asleep I would greatly appreciate any input. I have had a terrible time as of late falling asleep-once I fall asleep I'm down for the count.
Just wanted to drop in, say hi and introduce myself. Look forward to your shares and input.
Libby
