Hi guys, I miss you.

The Monday before Thanksgiving my son (17 years old) had a collapsed lung. He was in the hospital and required surgery. He still is home and has a chest tube in. My daughter (freshman in college) was very upset and went back to school upset. Her room mate got alcohol poisoning and she called 911 and took her to the hospital. The University did not come to pick them up and she asked a friend to get her with her car. The friend go into an accident on the way to get them. The next day she got ringworm.

This has been my three weeks. I have help up fairly well I think. I slept at the hospital with my son most nights and tried my best to be ok for him.

Today however, I feel like I am losing it. I stood up and on the left side of my head I felt like little electric shocks. I started to out right panic. I feel like a need a good cry also. My son (aside from the tube) is absolutely fine. Why am I feeling panicky now and more important should I go to the hospital for my feelings of electric shock in my head (it went away now) but very anxious.

Thanks.....

Dawn

Hi Dawn

Sorry to hear about your son I wish him a speedy recovery. Sounds like you have had a lot to deal with this last few weeks so I am nor surprised your anxiety has increased, I would suggest you go and speak with your doctor and see what they say and take their advice.

I get those electric shocks and I think they are stress/anxiety related but it is always best to check things out with your doctor. Keep us posted we are here to support you through this tough time.

Yes, prayers for you all!!

This has been a rough time from the sounds of it!!

Often, we get through the stressfull situations without anxiety or symptoms...because we just have to.

However, when things calm down, there is often anxiety 'fallout'. In other words, we often show symptoms later, sort of like an after effect of the event catching up to us.

Use your coping skills to get you through this time. Help your body and mind recover and get back to a relaxed state, after this time of prolonged tension.

We missed you too!  Let us know how you and family are doing soon,

S.C.
