Great points, Pepperidge.
Agee, I think once-a-mo or more often therapy appts for yourself are a good idea. Just let it all out. And the therapist may have some good leads for you, too.
I occasionally take Xanax, but mostly just at night, so I can quit downloading info in my brain and relax enough to sleep. Effexor is great, too, but it takes weeks to kick in.
Wine is nice, depending upon your reaction to it. As Marg said, it reduces her ability to manage the kids. For me, it reduces my NEED to manage the kids, LOL! It makes me calm and giggly. It all depends upon your metabolism. If I really need to be on the ball, I stick with-scrips, because they don't make you less functional or forgetful or tired like alcohol does. Just some random thoughts ...
