Thanks for the reply, and the understanding. You've seemed to have a pretty tough go of things. I can't imagine what it is like to have children and a family. I feel like I can barely take care of myself.
I have little hope about the antidpressants working. I am considering taking some other stuff for the anxiety (xanax, valium, etc.) but would probably do it without a prescription. And I no I would just be substituting one chemical for another. I just don't really see any better way.
When I was drinking I think I felt like I had a purpose (death?); now I just feel empty. And at least I could sleep...well, pass out anyway. Now, I am swallowing a handful of sleeping pills everynight and can still barely sleep.
I am getting nothing done and I feel like I am just getting deeper and deeper into a hole everyday. I thought sobriety was supposed to improve things!
I'd like to hear more about your therapy (what you've tried, etc.) I am seeing a therapist and I am not sure if it's accomplishing anything. I don't even know what to say to him.
Thank you again and good luck.
