I am beside myself with anxiety about tomorrow's court appearance for my Emergency Temporary Support, which has been a long time coming, (since Sept.2012), and cannot be retroactive (I am advised). There is a huge discrepancy in income---mine is SSDI. I am BP 1. Also ADD. We have considerable assets, (20 yr. marriage).

I'm reminded by my small group of friends that I am doing well under the circumstances of vastly increased stress, physical problems, etc. I've tried to surround myself with advocates (my lawyer and a guardian, and an accountant in the beginning). I could NOT handle the paperwork, bills, documentation, etc. that has been exploding since September. My guardian does that and accounts for it monthly which greatly helped in filling out my financial information on the affidavit.

There's nothing more I can do now is there? What will be will be. I'm reassured by a few close friends that I'll be alright, and I know they mean well, but they are not going to be sitting before a Magistrate tomorrow.

My 1st divorce was 10 yrs. (and a daughter) and the process was rough---going after delinquent child support year after year, but it was nothing like this. Longer and more assets this time I suppose...

I realize I'm not unique and millions of people have been divorced. I am just flipping out nervous/anxious/jumpy/shaky over this, Someone said, "Nobody ever died from divorce." And I guess I know that too, intellectually, but this process seems to be killing me slowly---wearing me down.

If you've read this far, I would appreciate if you would share any experiences of anxiety, nervousness, etc. caused by a situation I've described. Thanks in advance.
