I'm facing opening up a business with a friend. It's technical and I'm the tech person. I've been inundated with huge anxiety over this. I love what I do, but I hate it as well, as it's hugely intimidating.
All I can think of is the massive amount of work involved, and my friend is contributing relatively little compared to me. I expected this. This isn't about comparison, but the amount of work and possible errors in doing this work. Anybody have any ideas how I can manage this? |

Your business partner definitely need to be more responsible, otherwise search for another partner

I should have been clearer. He is the partner in the business industry, so he is needed. I had a talk with him last night and things are good. I've come down with a cold and am taking care of that. Perhaps that's what brought on this wave of anxiety. It was overwhelming.
Thank you. |

Well, that's finished. He admitted he wasn't putting in any work.
Now I'm very stressed. Finding a job and nobody seems to text me back. Linkedin contacts disappear. |

Egads, I was in business in a medical practice with a friend once. We did well, but I carried about 70% of the load. Some people will find if you do that, they will back off and let you do it as they benefit from your efforts. I am sorry this is causing you such anxiety.

Well, we now have no business. And I'm now coming to realize my health issues might actually be a life-long disability. So that means I can't sign up for work. I have sleep issues that keep me from staying awake all day. That means I now have to sell my house and find long term accommodations not knowing what my life will be like.
I have no clue what is going on. Rumination is one thing, and it's absolute insanity. Now real life is taking on that reality. |

I'm really sorry, @PhillMC. It sounds as if you have quite a weight on your shoulders. Losing a business and having uncertainty like that has to be tough. You say you have no clue what is going on, I seem to be drifting more that way with each day.

Yeah then I have to rely on the healthcare system to give me some answers. They are the worst. Had another silly night fighting with my cpap machine and I'm exhausted at 9 am. Not sure how I'm going to survive this.
