In my next episode, I’ll share a look into my sleep study consult, coming up on November 5th.

For the time being, I’ll keep advocating for myself because Xanax isn’t “fixing” the problem. It’s another bandaid.

And while I’m not completely anti-medication, I do believe in trying as many alternatives as possible as well as listening to what our innate bodies are telling us.

Right now - my body is saying “don’t take the Xanax” because I don’t know if I have sleep apnea yet. If I take a Xanax and then my body is too relaxed to come out of an episode, that could be detrimental.

So here I am - slowing down, listening, doing the work that I have taught for years and setting hard firm boundaries for myself and others around me.

Follow @danenwilliamson to stay up-to-speed on what’s next.

And always, thank you guys for being here, sending me messages and suggestions - I appreciate all of your support.
