Welcome Rosie

Thanks for your welcome Amy I guess a bit of an intro is in order, hmmmm where to start? I suffered from acute insomnia for a couple of years getting only a few hrs and sometimes no sleep each night. I kept on asking for help from my Dr and kept getting lectures about sleeping pills and how addictive they are. Back in about Oct last year I crashed big time, I had gotten so worn down from lack of sleep that my moods got so low that I did not want to live anymore, I was not suicidal as did not feel I could do that to my family, but my will to want to live was about zilch. A tact team was called and there began my intro to the psych team. I am now taking quetiapine 50mg every night to make me sleep and loxalate 40mg every morning. I think it took months and months to see any improvement at all, in fact I got quite a lot worse for a few months, and in fact think that the psyc intervention was not really helpful but hey I am still here, still battling on and looking forward to being a part of this wee community here My photography has been a sanity saver for me.
