Family Worrying?

Hello;

I don't know how to ask this question, but really could use some help.

How do you deal with family and/or friends who want to help, but they worry so terribly bad, and you know they are going to worry, which is going to make you worry. By help I mean, give me a ride to the store for groceries, or take me to a get a colon test done. I hope that you can understand what I am trying to ask.

It's either one of two things with family.

1.) I am ok, things are fine.

2.) I am sick, and need an ambulance.(only needed one ambulance my entire life)

With CD, things are usually(almost always) somewhere right in the middle of those two.

I have tried talking to my family(parents) about how much they worry, but it seems to make things MUCH WORSE.
They are the only ones I can really count on for help though, so I don't know how to make the situation better.
And I only ask for help when I truly need it.

Thanks, I really appreciate the responses to this.

Hi homeboy i can relate i dont  have a car but have my license cant afford to drive. been in the hospital numerous times with pain tests saying that im healthy just nerves docs didntbelieve methought i was putting it on but my mom new i wasnt and she was getting more worried by  the minuet and is relieved that they finnally found the cause (cd). my mom worries continuesly about me and thats to be expected she's my mom you have your mom.

were their babies no  matter how old we are. thank god everyday you have a family to worry about you some people dont and thats very lonely.

My daughters, my husband, and my parents both hit the internet and did research so of course they are filled with dire and negative information and are expected me to be sliced and diced and then to die at any moment.
I have found that by being open and straight forward about what is going on so they don't think I'm shielding them from anything or hiding information has helped.
Also, I just keep doing my day to day life stuff, make sure I tell them about the good stuff, make sure they understand I am taking care of myself and I have learned that it is the feeling of being powerless to help me that makes them feel so scared so I let them help me, which is very hard for me, I like to be independent, and let them know how much it meant to me when they did help.
I do normal things with them as health allows, go to the zoo, play games, listen to them tell me about their day, etc. and as time has gone on they have become more relaxed about it.
When the bad days, weeks, months, hit I make sure they know what is going on so their imaginations won't run away with them. It seems that I spend a lot of time managing them and calming them down than I do anything else but it actually helps me because it takes my mind off of my issues.
