    ✘ Not a client

      Hello, I have suffered with insomnia most of my life. Now I have crippling generalized anxiety that runs almost non stop. I have had to go on disability before and even left a very good job due to insomnia and anxiety. Got so bad had to spend time in a Hospital. Now, I am unable to support my family as I should, I am back working but in a very low paying position, and not sure how long I can continue functioning. I’m currently on Seroquel for sleep, have been over a year now, and before that on Ativan, which stopped working after about 8 months. Lack of sleep drove me to near insanity to the point I was hearing things and losing weight rapidly. I am terrified of going back to this state.
