Im for ever greatful for this forum / community ! This place has helped me ALOT when my Anxiety / Depression was at a peak in the first months of 2015 , members here have really helped me out .

I've been fine for the past few months but recently I've been having some Anxiety / Stress / Depression issues again .

My family doctor called home one time and my sister answered , it was a msg for my Mom , the doctor wanted her to take an ultrasound . My sister said it was important and they wanted my Mom to call them back .

So my Mom had an ultrasound appointment for the Sept 8 , I was actually soo terrified that I called the clinic and asked why did my Mom had to get an ultrasound , what something wrong ? will she be Ok ? I wan panicking and was told my the secretary that there was nothing to worry about , it was just a check up request for by the doctor . After we hung up the phone I went to my room and starting crying thinking I could possibly loose my Mom : - (

Life hits you really hard at this point ....

She has not said anything to me yet , I have not asked her anything because I do not know how and Im really scared of the whole situation .

Its just scary thinking our family doctor called in and wanted my Mom to get an ultrasound , Im soo scared thinking it might be something serious !

This is all I thought about for the past few days . I did not notice anything different with my Moms behavior , I dont know if she would tell me anything knowing how much I Love her it would totally crush me .

Im stressing out everyday just thinking about this , Please if anyone could help me out again that would be appreciated .

God Bless

Hi Lucy and welcome back,

Although I am sorry it is due to increased anxiety.

I know how it is to worry about a loved one's health...I have also held my breath through my parent's medical tests.

However, as the receptionist said...everything is fine...so until you hear anything to the contrary...put your trust in this.:)

Also, if your mom has not alluded to there being anything amiss...then I am sure this was just an ordinary procedure...or simply a precaution to rule something out...

I would just go ahead and talk to your mom for peace of mind...so you don't go on worrying needlessly.

Let us know what you hear...and remember we are here as your support team.

Peace and hugs,

S.C.

Hi Lucy

Welcome back to the forum.

I am pleased to hear that things have been good for you this past couple of months but sorry to hear you have had an increase in your anxiety recently.

I can see why this would be a worry to you but I agree with SC with regards to talking to your mum about the ultrasound.

Keep us posted.

Thanks Scaredy Cat & Hibee ,

I will Pray and Hope for the best . I dont like it but my mind usually jumps to the worst case scenario , I guess I do this so I can prepare myself for the worst and be ready .

Today my family and I went to Church and I actually started crying during mass just thinking about my Mom , if I ever lost her then I would go crazy and never get over it . She is such an amazing human being and I honestly mean that . What makes me feel worse is that she deserves sooo much more then me , I am a Loser , no job , no life , Im an embarrassment to her compared to what her friends children are doing , but yet she loves me soo much and does soo much for me . I just feel she deserves a son whos going to med school or with a good paying job , because she really deserves alot , and I Thank God everyday for making me soo lucky to have this great person in my lady , I truly am grateful for that .

I cried during mass today , and when I went to the car today I noticed her hospital bracelet was in there .

Thanks again for the replies , Im really hoping and praying this is just a ultrasound check up and nothing serious . Her attitude is different aswell , I keep asking her if everythings OK and she says its fine , maybe shes scared aswell ?

Oh gosh ..... Life really hits you hard in these situations , you really start questioning what is life and the important things in life .

mL,

I think you are a caring, thoughtful and good person and son. I would prefer to be the mother of this type of child, than one of a successful individual who was not a kind person. Please don't talk down to yourself anymore. It is said we should talk to and about ourselves as we would a dear friend...and I know you would never say such things about someone you cared for...and it is important to care for ourselves!!

I will keep you and your mom in my prayers...

...but I still encourage you to talk to her and ask her specifically about how she is doing. I am sure that it will bring you both peace of mind to talk together.:)

With support,

S.C.
