S had a belt test a karate tonite. He did great and was very proud to get his yellow belt.
Afterward we all went out to eat.
During our supper W brought up that she went to the doctor recently. She said she couldn't sleep and has anxiety. She got a script for zoloft, xanex, and ambien.
This is the first she has let on that life isn't just peaches and cream.
I didn't say much. Just listened and asked if she is feeling and sleeping better now.
A part of me was delighted that she was not doing so well. And its not because I want her to be miserable. Its just the fact that she is human after all. And she opened up to show me that side for the first time in quite a while. After all she could have not told me and I would have never known.
I do feel sorry for her. I know pain. I know anxiety. It is rough.
Maybe the meds will help her. I hope they don't become a crutch. I know that xanex can be quite addictive and hard to get off of. I'm a little concerned but glad she is seeking some help.
