Hi Stephanie,
Good for you. Sometimes it can help to talk to an impartial party face to face. I can understand why you are considering something to take the edge off. The meds these days are quite safe and you could always start out at a very low dose and go from there. Sometimes they can be trial and error until you find the right one for you, but usually it's well worth it. You have so much going on, no wonder you feel overwhelmed.
Good luck to you.
