[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't take such a heavy-duty medication to deal with your stressors, OP. With the best intentions, you are taking on too much, and the answer is that you have to let go of a few things, not push yourself too hard and take drugs. (Isn't that what you would advise your own kids?) Sometimes something's got to give, and you cannot do it all. Or at least, you cannot do it all WELL. It's a hard thing for us to accept.

Figure out what you can let go of for a while. Can you take some leave from work while you get the nanny situation settled? Are you a single parent or do you have a partner who can take on more of the kid-related responsibilities and worries? Can anyone help with your move, or can you accept that things will be a mess for a while?

When you can, make time for whatever activities  destress you naturally, like exercise, sex, sleep, having a laugh. That sounds facile, but every little thing helps.

Yes, your advice is facile.  There are times and situations where you can give up all that you can and still be overwhelmed.  OP previously stated she can't tell if she's moved from worry to anxiety.  She also said she's not enjoying life.  This indicates a far more significant problem than just taking on too much. Most people have figured out how to shed what they can before they reach the level OP has reached.  [/quote]
