Your doing just fine Monica.... it is hard, but worth it. Honestly, get yourself out and going for walks. It doesn't matter how far, but more important how long. Go for a good 30 minute or more walk. Shit, an hour would be great. Throw the kids on their bikes or stroller, whatever they are in, take them with you even. Just the activity outside will help you fight the depressive aspects of withdrawal, being the desire to sleep lots. There is a point in withdrawals you must actively grab your life back, force yourself out of your lazy zone and back into life. If you have to get active all day, do it until withdrawals are over. Once you have no meds, you really do need to get daily exercise though to maintain your mental health without meds. You need outdoors good 30 minutes to an hour of walking minimum per day to keep depression away from you. You can skip a day, but you will notice depression kicking back in if you don't exercise for a few days / week.
