I admire your determination to face your trouble without being dependent on medicine. Feel free to write and share what ever you want and need. We will be here with you on the path to healing and recovery. Lilly1978

I always thought that a mother should be able to take any pain or trouble, in order to save her child. Like an avenging angel, or a lioness defending her cubs.

Welcome. I hope you can find some understanding and comfort here. I wish you peace of mind and way to get the sleep you need and deserve.
