Hi All ✌️

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in here .... I did have everything going quite well for awhile however with a bunch of heavy stresses added recently I have had a new resurgence of those wonderful waves of anxiety just to add to the stress. No one in here can do anything but I’d just like to share and vent as it helps to not feel so alone with it.
I’m a single parent to a 10yr old.... my aged mother has dementia and has just had her licence cancelled. I’m the only one close by to her as siblings live 3 hrs away. I work full time. I have also just been told I have some spots on my lungs that I have to wait another 2 months to scan and see if they grow and on top my bp is showing as high again even though I’m already on meds. The thing out of all those that is really messing with me is the BP!! Anything to do with my BP has me in a state of anxiety and because I’m anxious it rises even more!!! Which makes me more anxious IYKWIM. I’m not sure if it’s the stress and anxiety that’s causing the BP issues or if it’s just risen and I’m making it worse with my anxiety but it’s freaking me out!!! So my health anxiety is in overdrive right now... and I’m just so frightened.
I’m thinking of skipping work tomorrow because of the state I’ve got myself in.
Meant to go on holiday (flying interstate for a few days at the end of the week) and gee now that’s worrying me also... sigh*

Anyway thanks for letting me get it out.
Hugs from:
