A new Journey

I am 57 and about a year ago I was forced off zoloft, it came at the time I was menopausal and have a thyroid condition. I am seeking help through counseling and trying to stay off the medication if I can. I have recently started St Johns wart. It has been a tough and very scary trail. I thought if I had other woman my age who are going through this I might not feel so alone. After raising seven children and now being on my own I feel like I am having to get to know me all over again and when fear, anxiety and hormones get in the mix its a hard climb.

oh thank you so much. It was a blessing to have raised my children, I miss them all so much. It is hard to learn who I am outside my kids and grand kids, they all live so far away.`Yet I am looking art God for ways to reach out and love them, and for those who He brings in my life to love. Thank you for your prayers, I do alot of praying right now.
