Anxiety / highly sensitive nervous system seems to always be a topic here. The stress from illness is really overlooked. We can over look it.

Good anxiety link:

Anxiety and adrenal reaction problems are sometimes the same - they are symptoms of each other. There are too many terms for adrenal issues. Some are low, some high, both are bad and make long term symptoms.

Its not possibly to keep up with daily life while your ill, personally, I put a lot of things off, procrastinated for a reason LOL.

Now that I'm feeling 80-90% better most days, Im trying to get things done that were put off. This is hard and stressful itself. Theres not enough time in the day, unless, you put things off more.

We all need a reset button.

all too true.

Ive been fighting trying to find a new job every 2 months for the past year, rent increasing, forced to work even more.. unbelievable stress.

I'm at a total loss as to how to escape all this so I can heal..

Ive been looking around at cabins in the mountains, wish I could afford to get away to a place like that and not have to worry about money or anything for awhile so I can heal :'(

"cabin in the mountains"-

Perfect.

To bad it costs $ to live though.

So true! Glad your feeling so much better! I can only imagine the stress in trying to catch up on all the things you were forced to let slide during the worst of your illness.

I'm still in the procrastination stage myself, but I still get seriously stressed just thinking of how to pick up the pieces of my life once I'm feeling able. A reset button sounds great!!!!

Thanks for the anxiety link .

Ps. A cabin in the mountains also sounds really good! I fantasize about that too...

I believe years of stress contributed to the state I'm in today. I have scaled things back, but with a full-time stressful job and as a single mom, it's tough!

I've found there are a couple places I've vacationed where the stress melts away. I can't move yet, but I think that would be a positive step for me. My current location and situation breeds stress.

That's a good link. I try to meditate when I can, but don't do it enough. My thyroid, blood sugar and probably adrenals (next thing to be checked) are all going haywire.

I'm actually hoping as I let some things slide, that eventually I'll decide I didn't need to do all those things anyway.

I'm trying to open a pharmacy on a deadline, just moved my Mom into a cabin I built for her, and I don't have time to finish everything. I built a 7 acre pond in front of the cabin and need to finish the drainage issues on the roads around it before this hurricane puts 10 inches of water on it. I'll work 10 hrs today and then go there and work until dark. I've got a few long days ahead of me and the stress of getting things completed definitely makes a difference in my health.
