On a more positive note... wow, I used the word positive. I must be doing better. So, I just ordered the book "Mindfulness for Dummies", which comes with an audio cd of technique's and meditations. I mentioned to my T that I need to learn coping skills in light of the failed medication attempt and she's totally on board. Just now need to see if the new pdoc is on board too.
Sorry you're still suffering with the insomnia, but I'm really glad you're adding some coping skills.
