There are a lot of alternatives to Ambien. I've known people actually drive while on it and not remember. It's scary scary scary.
I'm sure your therapist was happy to read your email, telling people how you feel is usually a good thing. I hope you can work through the feelings of giving away your power because, I think, caring for someone actually empowers.
In any case, the ambien thing. I would work on that!
