[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 468284, member: 7083"] I'd be looking for a new therapist. I would have walked out of her office. As for psychiatrist, sometimes you need to give them a few chances. They are so used to people coming in and just wanting medications before trying anything else. I know how frustrating it is. I sleep most of the time now, but before the heart attack and all that? I averaged 3-5 hours sleep a night. For years. And years and years. Many days I went to work, up for 24 hours by the time I got there because I couldn't sleep at all. And I got the "sleep hygiene" and "structure" spiel. Yet when a male friend had trouble sleeping for 2 nights, his doctor prescribed him ambien. With refills. I was *livid*!!! Anyway, I would give the psychiatrist a couple more chances. After that, I'd be moving on there, too. If they're not helping, they're wasting your time at best; doing more harm at worst. And you're right. Us warrior moms do know a thing or two about these things and it is infuriating when we aren't listened to. [/QUOTE]
