OP - Your family doctor is not the one to be prescribing you medication in the state that you relate being in for now going  on three years or so.  You need to get a referral from your doctor to a psychiatrist who can give you an appropriate screening for mental health conditions which could be transitory or more involved.  In any case this medical doctor will know what to begin you on and at what dosage and how medication may interact because you may well be dealing with a couple of issues starting with interrupted sleep patterns.  Equally important the psychiatrist will be able to refer you to an appropriate clinician for therapy as appropriate and also one who would be specialized in dealing with women and mid-life issues.

Starting on the medical side is important as well as starting on your daily lifestyle choices.  Neither your DDs nor your DH can make your life fuller, it is going to be the choice that you make in time.  With a competent therapist you will be able to set some small goals and then take a longer range look at your options.  I would say that at least in the DC area you will find numerous:  part-time job, going back to school for a new field, going back to school just for enjoyment for non-credit classes, volunteering etc.  I have recently experienced a lost of close friends within the last years - one due to a sudden collapse, one to remarriage and moving away and a third again with grown children selling their home and moving out of the area.  It took me a while to realize how bothered I was by the changes.  The two who moved away in a way are starting new adventures at a time in life where it is more or less clear that this is where we will always reside so that, too, had an impact.  What I have learned is that it take time to readjust to life pattern changes at times...... so start by giving yourself that time AND getting professional intervention, too.[/quote]
