Day 3 counting down

[fubunni52]

I guess I can't do it all. Some where in my brain I thought I was super woman. Take care of the house, the bills, meals, my husband schedule, my son's schedule and his care, our dogs, home repairs etc. I do it all, I don't ask for help. It's my job to be all these people and do it with a smile on my face. Monday was a wake up call, I woke up with chest pains. Off to the E.R. I went. EKG was sketchy shoo they kept me for tests and observation. Blood work and stress test and chest xray all good, doo my heart is ok physically. I knew the anxiety was there, I live with it. But I've never experienced it to that magnitude before. Panic attacks don't feel like that, so honestly I didn't think for a moment that is what was happening. I'm released and home with a script for anti depressant and an appointment to follow up with a therapist. I promised myself years ago that I wouldn't put my child thru the worry that my sister and I went thru with our mother over her health issues. So, I'm taking the steps to better myself in that regard. And the quit is coming sooner for that reason also. Thank you everyone for your support thus far and in the future, I'm gonna need it.
