Help! I am at my wit’s end and exhausted trying to take care of my child who has been diagnosed with all kinds of problems. What can I do to help keep me coping?

I’ve always been a hard-working, self-motivated individual, but I’ve taken on more than I can manage. I’m so stressed out that I can’t sleep. I just can’t turn my mind off. I don’t want to have a nervous breakdown. Can you help me relax and turn my chattering mind off?

My hair is falling out. I’ve gained weight. I have no energy and I just want to stay in bed all day with the cover over my head but can’t because too many people depend on me. My blood pressure and cholesterol have risen, and so has my blood sugar. I stay sick all the time. My doctor wants to put me on antidepressants and other medications for the above-mentioned medical problems, but I think there is something bigger going on here that anti-depressants just aren’t going to fix. Besides, I don’t have any health insurance and can’t afford all those drugs each month!
