However, I will second the massage idea. <BR/><BR/>Having been where you're at, sometimes the most healing therapy of all is human touch. It's not a substitute for the real thing...but it helps on a very primal level.Law Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10266891700976866421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-50281680536664788512007-10-20T14:03:00.000-04:002007-10-20T14:03:00.000-04:00I'm sorry things are so tough right now.

I could have written the last few paragraphs of your post last year, and while I still have plenty of dark moments (depression, she is is sticky bitch), the meds got me through the very worst of it at the beginning, when everything is confusing and you're just so filled with despair. <BR/><BR/>I also recommend yoga, if you're into that sort of thing. <BR/><BR/>You're in my thoughts. I certainly have an idea of what you're going through.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797420534168841098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-27635605405027223932007-10-20T05:42:00.000-04:002007-10-20T05:42:00.000-04:00I second the meds suggestion.

Within a day or two of starting on the meds I was able to fall asleep when I needed to and I was no longer waking 1-2 hours early with anxiety attacks.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there and do make sure that you're taking care of yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-58744511534425409112007-10-20T00:24:00.000-04:002007-10-20T00:24:00.000-04:00I have suggested this before, and I think it may s...I have suggested this before, and I think it may seem kind of weird to you, but I really think you would benefit from a massage (and I mean a good, professional massage. When I have been at my most stressed out and ready for dire actions, massage has calmed me and soothed me. <BR/><BR/>Humans (and lots of other animals, like my foster kittens) crave touch. If you aren't getting enough touch, you need to seek some out. Massage serves that need, as well as helping the muscles to relax & easing tension.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you!the Drunken Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606104534453493304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-41219080357217058422007-10-18T21:53:00.000-04:002007-10-18T21:53:00.000-04:00oh, and you're in my thoughts. being lonely is pai...oh, and you're in my thoughts. being lonely is painful. i'm guessing much more so when you are still sharing a home with the person who makes you the loneliest.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731917839844470875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-27056102443605238602007-10-18T21:48:00.000-04:002007-10-18T21:48:00.000-04:00i'm not sure of your views on psychotropic meds, b...i'm not sure of your views on psychotropic meds, but i think they are amazing in making sure that a tough time doesn't turn into a major depressive disorder. a huge life shift such as a divorce will take it's toll on even the healthiest of psyches. and it doesn't have to be a long term solution. <BR/><BR/>just something to consider.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11731917839844470875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-30283364079076958752007-10-18T20:30:00.000-04:002007-10-18T20:30:00.000-04:00"There has been some realignment in friendships, t...<I>"There has been some realignment in friendships, too, case of disruption in some Bowenian triangles, which can be very jarring."</I><BR/><BR/>Care to elaborate on this?
