Dear Kat -

In addition to the good advice above, I hope your doc has tested your thyroid levels. Most of the women I know are on thyroid meds. Don't know why that is, but it does make a difference. Thyroid problems can make you feel like the whole world is crashing around you, no sleep, autonomic nervous system problems (temperature, heart beat, etc.).

Re: therapist - If you don't feel comfortable - try a different one. It took me a few tries to find the right person. She made all the difference.

Sending light and love -
Joyce
