Answers:
Been there. It's a horrible feeling. The meds help, but it takes time. Sometimes the dose or type of medication needs to be changed. Also, talking to someone helps, a friend, doctor, or therapist. Do something for yourself, go shopping, read, get a manicure, or go to lunch with friends. Try to take time for yourself, I know it's hard, I am the mom of 3. I find that if I take time for myself at least once a week I am a nicer person and a better mother and wife. Good Luck!!!
