Amen to that. I agree, I have grown closer to God over last few years and it makes life so much clearer and easier to know this is only the beginning! Best to all!

1 ReactionI totally agree that a volunteer work must help. If I need help, it’d feel good to help others. Problem is making myself leave the house. I only get out of the house to go to work. No partying, no friends, nothing!

4 Reactions@nane63 I hear you!
Staying home will give you more time to have anxiety. Keep occupied, stay around people. Try to stay working so it takes your mind of personal life. Get some faith based help. I wish you all Gods blessings 🤗🙏♥️

1 ReactionI find working on art projects, crafts and such helps. Also you can volunteer to foster pets. There’s such a need for that and it’s so rewarding. And God love those little helpless creatures they do as much for you as you do for them just being a part of your life.

1 ReactionI am having a lot of trouble with my sleep. This has been going on for five months since I decided that I needed to taper off Ambien which I have been using for 2 years at 5 mg and if it was a bad night I took 10 mg. I have tried Remeron which didn't help much (currently tapering off it) and then my psychiatrist prescribed Doxepin which helped for a short time. It is really discouraging as nothing seems to work for me. My anxiety has really ramped up and makes it hard to rest. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

2 ReactionsI made a mistake trying to help with suggesting Zolpidem, but realized it is just a generic of Ambient. Has your doctor told you to taper off the Ambient?
Have you tried non-medication, such as chamomile tea? This is what I drink before bedtime.

2 ReactionsI made the decision that I should try and get off it since I was using more and it wasn't as effective. I was having some anxiety as well which ambien can cause. When I saw my psychiatrist, she agreed that I should taper and eventually get off it.
