Hi Sc, just want to share an update. I didnt go with my friends last time because my husband needs me. He is still not feeling good. Its been 2wks now he is suffering from on/off fever and his back is so sore. He is been in the bed for 2wks now. Went to emergency last saturday, my heart palpitation is racing and im out of breath that time. But i survive. Went to emergency with my husband with the help of our 3 friends. We thought he got a kidney stone but the doctor said he might have a diverteculitis. I dont have enough rest because i taking care of him 24/7. i feel bad for him. The doctor gave him antibiotic right now, so we will see whats gonna happen after 7days of taking it. And we will see him again and might talk about surgery i guess. They didnt give us an answer so far. At first they thought its a kidney stone. They call us today that his kidney is healthy and no stone. So i dont know right now. Sorry for the long post. Anyway, im doing good. Im happy that i managed my anxiety and nervousness so far. I dont feel depressed at all. Im hoping it will continue everyday.. I always said to myself forget your anxiety, sometimes it help lol.. I quit my exercise for a while because i am losing more wt. not good right. Hehe.. Im just keep myself busy here in the house so that i wont think about my anxiety.

I ask my friend to take me to costco tomorrow and she said yes to that, i will keep myself to do more exposure and i think away from the house even just for 2hrs. The more i isolate myself to the house the more i got nervous for nothing and the more i think negative. went driving alone today for 30minutes just right here in the community. I did a good job but its not a big deal to me. i want to drive in the intersection or in the traffic but i cant do it. My fear is always in me. My first panic attack happened while im driving in a traffic and in the middle of intersection, all my hands twitch and i cant breath that time. I pull over and call my husband to pick me up. I was crying and scared and nervous. Thats the time i gave up driving becuase im scared now if it will happen again. My husband keep telling me to keep driving everyday alone just right in the community. It might help me he said to overcome my fear. Im hoping i will get over my fear.

Hi Bik,

First of all I am sorry to hear of your hubby's health challenges! :( You are doing a great job of taking care of him...but I know it is hard. ..not only in how exhausting it can be to be a caregiver. ..but because it is hard to see loved ones not feeling well.:(

Great job on managing well during this time!

I think your driving accomplishment is a big step...and I congratulate you!! Keep up the progress...you rock! :)

I hope you have a good outing tomorrow with your friend. Even if it's just a trip to the store...it is good to get out for a break.

Sending healing thoughts for your husband...and continued progress to you. Thanks for the update!

Hugs and high fives,

S.C.
