anxiety
"I think this experience would come under "Anxiety" but it may not.  My wife of 55 years died 3 months ago and to help with the grief the Dr. gave me Diazapam (Vallium) 5mgs to be taken 3 time a day for 28 days. This did seem to help calm me down but it didn't help to control the weeping not the deep seated feeling of lonliness. Now I don't take it regularly but when I start feeling really depressed about my situation  and loss, I can take a 10mgs pill which appears to soothe the bad memories away to some extent. Regrettably it hasn't helped with my sleep problem yet.  Prior to my wife passing away to a better place, I was able to drop off to sleep almost immediately when I climbed into bed, no it takes 3 hours before sleep eventually comes."
