Well to add more stress we are losing the only income we have in the household. Oh boy and I just checked my bp after that news and it isn't great. The stress in my life is what is making me sick and due to the anxiety I have no control over my home situation.

time,

While this time and any time really is a bad time to lose your source of income, try to keep faith that just because one door is closing doesn't mean another door is open. On the bright side, many places are probably still hiring for seasonal help. While it's not an ideal position, it's something until something better can be found.

Being at max stress is going to cause your blood pressure to rise. Try to remain calm and take it again later if you like. Before you take it and while the strap is constricting around your arm, go to your happy place. Simply having my blood pressure taken period causes me a little anxiety and I find this to be a necessary exercise.

Time 😟
I can not believe your misfortune at the moment.
Take a deep breath.. and try and stay calm....You need to stay as positive as possible (easier said than done in the circumstances)

As soon as you get BP and anxiety to a more managable level.... You can then think clearer as to what to do next...So you are going to have to work hard on coping and keeping calm to lower the BP.

Im hoping you find some assistance to see you through this worrying time.. And hope that another door does open soon xxx

This didn't have to happen. My husband made a choice earlier this year to start a business against my wishes. I wanted him to wait till we had some money saved up but he always gets his way no matter what I want. We lost our health insurance and we ended up thousands of dollars in debt. I wanted to get moved out of this crappy house I live in and into the house we are making payments on and have been fixing up. I had enough credit that could have happened easily. The job he had was making the bills and he was able to be home every weekend which was nice as he had been working out of town for weeks at a time. I was settling in and feeling like I had a real marriage. Wasn't enough for him though, it never is. He had to start the business blah blah blah. Then the one thing he had to do was renew his physical and he had to keep his blood sugars down to do that. That was paramount to the job. I now have to wait and see what happens and how long this takes to correct.

Before I had anxiety I used to work, I worked 2 jobs when I needed to. This mental disorder has completely cut off any control over my life. I would love a life with security and peace of mind and just some comforts. The stress is killing me and I make no joke about that.

OH and tomorrow I have to go to the dentist and have a tooth extracted :( I've been trying not to think about it but now that it is tomorrow I am scared.

The itching and burning is in full force tonight so I just hope I can sleep. There is nothing as awesome as sleep <3

Oh my...lots of triggers there.

Anger, disappointment, frustration, uncertainty. ..

...these are all rough feelings to navigate.

I am sending positive thoughts and prayers your way...

...and encourage you to dig deep and put your coping skills to use!

With understanding,

S.C.

Thank you gilly!
I couldn't sleep last night. I was up itching, burning and thinking of course. Just got to get through the day and then another giant stress is done. I have about 6 hours till Dentist time. I am trying to just keep thinking that I am safe and can do this. Not sure if I am convincing myself or not but am trying. I thought these steroids would help at first, they seemed like they were but now every night this burning is getting bad. It is still burning this morning which is not usual but I didn't sleep so I understand.

I appreciate the support! <3
