Well, it has been a few months since I visited here. I have had some issues that have just kept me away.
I did want to say, I finally found a therapist. I started seeing him in May. I saw him a few times a few yrs ago. But the clinic he was at was the same place that had two counselors abandon me. He is with another clinic. He has really been helping me and I guess he is kinda old school. I am able to talk about things one should feel comfortable about talking to a T about. So, I am really happy about that. I see my son every weekend. He is incarcerated and I am so tested in this. It is hard for me to leave and go there. It is hard seeing him in that place. I have anxiety a lot. The one good thing that helps me is my T has worked as a counselor in the prison system, so I feel that helps me somewhat. I am coming off my benzo's and will hopefully see the psych doc soon. I have my medical doc helping me right now. I have been walking 4 1/2 miles per day and have lost 20 lbs. I feel good. But never seem to be able to sleep. I hope that will change soon. Nothing is perfect. But it is better than a few months ago! Thanks for listening.

That's great that you now have a therapist that is really helping you. I'm sorry about your son. I'm sure that's incredibly difficult to go through. Congrats on the exercising and losing weight!
I struggle with sleep issues as well. Have you tried addressing this with your therapist?

Tina, thanks for the update. Glad that you have found "t" again and at a different clinic.
Good on getting off the benzo's and that pcp is helping. Tough one to go alone. My ex-H is incarcerated and it is really hard on my sons. Please know you are not alone... sending safe hugs |

Thanks, it is one of the hardest thing I am dealing with. I get so depressed after my visits. It makes it really hard. I try to just take things in stride. But it hurts so bad. He gets out in feb I am glad because this is something I never want to get use to.
