Hi -

Something crossed my mind when I was reading your post. You mentioned
that you become "obsessed" with thinking about your mother's health all day long and that you are convinced that everything is not okay. You also
mentioned about going from one worry to another. I'm no dr., but I have
experienced anxiety and recently found out that I might have some OCD
tendencies - obsessive-compulsive disorder. When you have OCD, it's difficult
for the brain to shift off of certain intrusive thoughts and it's easy
to think about something 24/7. I'm personally having biofeedback done to
help correct mine. Just wondering if you might have some mild OCD? I
don't mean to diagnose you - just offering you some information. I know
that it's easy to worry about our parents and I luckily haven't had to face
that challenge in life yet. As for your husband, I hope he learns to be patient with you. When you are going through your own issues, it is hard
sometimes to give your all to everyone else - including your family. I'm sure you are doing your very best. Don't be too hard on yourself - my other half says that I should "push" to do more things and get out more, but when
you are going through anxiety or whatever the issue, sometimes you tend
to close yourself off. I still get out and hold down a full-time job, but I'm
having to take my recovery process, so to speak, slowly and at my pace.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers. I wish you luck at the dr.'s office
in finding a solution.
