It's "funny", for so long (over eight years) I was sad (and lonely) about being childless...now I feel guilty for wanting some time alone. I wish that I could just get an even balance.

There's all of that, then my birthday just passed this weekend. It was a good birthday, and I'm thankful for my family, it's just that birthdays are always a mix of emotions for me...sadness, happiness, excitement, and a bit of a let down when it's all over.

I think that I mainly need to start seeing my therapist again, and then see my primary doc about my med's.

Sorry for the rambling. I thought it might help to get this out here.
(((((keepinghopeful))))) Happy late birthday.
I think you are right about seeing your therapist and doctor again. I also think that you need to try and get yourself some time alone. See if your family can help with your children for a few hours a week or maybe hire a babysitter. I wish you well, good luck.
Thanks for this!
