Pshaw--I'm not skirting, I've been in the middle of it for 2+ years now. Actually though, escapism is better than despair, so this probably ought to be seen as a step on the way up. Read a study awhile back claiming that 80% of the special needs moms examined showed multiple symptoms of PTSD. A majority of my friends are on some type of antidepressant or anti-anxiety med (or both,) but it's not so easy to mix those with the anti-seizure meds I'm on. Those do double-duty as mood stabilizers though, so I guess I could talk to my neurologist about upping the dose if I can't ride this one out. The more I take the better I sleep, at the very least.
