right this second, pretty awful. but i felt ok this morn. he wanted to hold off on lexapro and have me try high doses of fish oil for a week first (raises seratonin levels). my parents are out until monday and i told him i'd rather try the meds now (i've heard they can work rather fast for people who are not treating chronic anxiety...) i don't know how i would function like this if they weren't here. adam is working like crazy, i'm only sleeping little bits and pieces b/c of meds to help me sleep (geez...worried about weaning myself off of those too) and i'd have to be mum to the boys. just praying that i feel somewhat better by monday and can resume role as mum.

i'm glad you insisted on the meds and don't worry about weaning yourself off the the sleeping pills, that will come when you're feeling better. take all the help you can get in the meantime too, don't be afraid to say when you're overwhelmed. a million kris, i'm so sorry you're going through this...
