Am I going crazy?

Question:

well I am a single mother of two young children. My oldest who will be 5 next month was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 6 weeks old and my baby just turned one. recently kicked my baby's father out for lying, cheating, and drugs. I had to get rid of my 2 bedroom apartment and move into a 1 bedroom with the kids. I got involved with a man who has always been the love of my life but he left me for family reasons. I feel so depressed and I cannnot control my feelings or my actions. I find myself drinking myself asleep every night and on the weekends I get totally drunk and very upset and sometimes violent toward the people who have hurt me. I don't know what to do any more. I feel like everything I do is wrong. I finally went to my doctor for depression and anxiety attacks, she prescribed me prozac and zanax which has helped. I can't stop the drinking though. I never drink in front of my children though. And I know It's wrong but I dont know what else to do. Am I crazy?

Answers:
You are by no means crazy...life has been pretty hard on you so far...but that's no reason to just give and especially give yourself up.i know that any advice you'd get now might seem good, but alsi impossible to achieve, because the pain and the sadness seem stronger...all you need to do is work on your will and self-control.excellent move for getting rid of that guy, but don't pull yourself back by drinking and wasting yourself away like this.you deserve much more.you have some amount of strength within you, you just have to get up and move no matter how bad it feels.try to talk to people, not about your problems necessarily, just talk, to get your mind off.concentrate on your work, and while at home get yourself some books and read, whatever you find interesting, be it novels, stories, anything that you like to read.that will relax you, and help you detach a little from reality.tell yourself when you want to drink "no, i refuse to do this, and even though i feel the need to, i won't, by my own will".you have to be strong for yourself, and for the children.disfunctional families grow anti-social and lonely children.you need to start enjoying life.try to find happiness inside yourself.smile without a reason.when sad, just smile, and be happy for what you have.appreciate it.do things that cause you pleasure.get a friend or two and go shopping.go on long walks.if you feel like crying or start to feel down, look at something beautiful, a flower, a painting, a picture, a person, something that is beautiful to you.try to love life.do that, and your life will improve.be self-sustaining.forget everything that others have done to you.what's done is done.learn from it, and move on.be careful about trusting people, but do not shut yourself out.you have a lot to offer, and a whole life ahead of you to do it.i wish you all the well, take care of your soul, and good luck

If your still violent towards others or yourself you should talk to a doctor right away.
Otherwise It sounds like your life has just gotten really crazy lately. I hope things will smooth out for you soon. Best wishes.
