[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 593594, member: 2196"] Thank you for all your help and support, ladies. I am feeling a bit better today but I know that when bedtime hits the bad feelings will probably be back. Lately I have been terrified to fall asleep for fear of something bad happening. I saw a Dateline type special awhile ago and they had two people who killed loved ones in their sleep while sleepwalking. I can't get that fear outta my head, even though my psychiatrist tells me I have a better chance of getting struck by lightening than to sleepwalk and harm my children. No matter how hard he tries to talk me out of it I can't shake this bad feeling. So I just pray every night before bedtime that my family remains safe. And the feeling has only gotten worse in the last few days so that's why I'm thinking it's a premonition of things to come. I know it's probably just the anxiety talking, but once I get an idea in my head, good luck getting it out. That's the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) part of me that has been malfunctioning since Zoloft stopped working for me two years ago. That stuff worked like a charm for years and years then I just became immune to it. Nothing I have tried to replace it has helped. My last psychiatrist and this new one tell me they are running out of options. So now I'm in therapy. My last therapist was a cognitive behavior therapist and he was working on giving me techniques to relieve my anxiety and obsessive thoughts. He moved away a year ago and I've forgotten everything he taught me. So I have a new one but he is not a cognitive behavioral therapist.
