Lauren,

I think the others gave you wonderful advice...and you are on the road to healing your family problems. As for the meds, if you have a chemical imbalance in your brain, the meds are needed, but maybe Zoloft is not the right one. It may take a while to discover which one works for you. I did that during original diagnosis and it helped so much. Now, I only take Ativan and it's sure nice to sleep for a change. Just something to calm down my thoughts just long enough to fall asleep.

Just know that we are here for you and venting on the board can be a good tool. I like to email myself when I have a problem that needs to be worked out. Putting it in writing seems help get your thoughts out and begin the process of resolving the problem. Remember BABY STEPS...

Feel free to email me.....

hugs,
Janelle
