I told my mom I wasn't sleeping and the pdoc upped my meds.

Finances can be incredibly stressful.
I grew up in poverty. As I grew older and went out on my own, I had found that I carried extreme anxiety about money and bills. Even when I did have enough to pay all of the bills, I was a shaking basket case whenever I had to sit down to pay bills. Financial anxiety can be disabling, I know.
Alternative methods of dealing with stressors can take a lot of practice.
It took me awhile to find/practice healthy alternatives.
Has the med increase helped at all yet with sleep?
I hope you have found a way to deal with such intense anxiety.
