[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm not over 50, but when I was pregnant, the change in my hormones REALLY affected my anxiety level and insomnia. I think that's somewhat at issue for you, too. However, having a "stressful" home life with lots of drama isn't good for anyone and even if the hormones are exacerbating your problems, I suspect that's the real cause. Might I recommend, in addition to possibly checking out Xanax, seeking out a cognitive-behavioral therapist? They help you develop healthier habits for dealing with stress and anxiety that are permanent and can really help. I should mention I actually have anxiety disorder and panic disorder (that were much worse when my hormones were out of whack), and didn't want to have to be tethered to medication(/couldn't take meds when pregnant) to be able to be calm. CBT has been a godsend![/quote]
