It's Patti again. I am so happy because last night I slept without medication. I told my husband to hide the ambien from me. The night before I had a dose of lorazepam and it helped greatly but I felt badly yesterday because I rely so much on ambien and when I try to stop I have anxiety about falling asleep and take one of my husbands lorazepams. Last night I had no anxiety and it worked. Here is the catch though-I have two teenage daughters-one who we took away to college as a freshman last week. Between my part-time job, my daughters and the occassional marital squabble there is usually something that bothers me at night. Last night was just a good night. I am not working for 5 days to let this sleep thing sort out. I guess I get anxious easily. I have tried therapy for years. It has helped with a lot but anxiety is still an issue. I used to be a science teacher and now I can't teach anymore. Therapy has helped me with accepting that but it still gets in my mind. I am babbling today. I will enjoy the good day! Patti
PS- how do you add the biographical stuff to the bottom of your entry?
