For me I feel like we already have to face the stresses that people without MI have to face and then on top of it the everyday stress of trying to function with the BP and whatever MI we all have since most of us have more than just BP. Just getting to work is my biggest chore for the day because I know the obstacles that I'm going to face, whereas for my husband it's no big deal most days for him to go to work. I'm sure we all do this but we go to work and put on that fake smile. Today I just couldn't do it, and I called in. It's all just too much at times.
