I am so grateful for this forum for making me feel like I am not the only one going through this! For a year, I would pace around the house from 4 or 5 pm till I was too tired and needed to sleep. Recently, I took up alcohol to sooth me, but I don't want it to become a habit. I don't want to keep taking Xanax and sleeping it off either... This is getting too hard to cope with!
