Scare

Journeyer December 29th, 2014

Hi everyone. I've had an extremely stressful day. Basically my dad has had health problems for years and recently came down with the flu and it all caused him to fall down and pass out today. An ambulance came and took him to the hospital and that's where I've been for most of the day and night. Had a couple panic attacks along the way but they said his x-rays looked okay. He's still very weak thoughand staying at the hospital overnight. I'm still kind of anxious and upset and maybe selfishly wondering why this had to happen to me when I already have problems with anxiety and depression. But I am glad it seems like my dad will be okay and just hope he recovers swiftly. Any thoughts or prayers are appreciated. Thanks guys.

Sorry you?re having such a stressful day and that your dad is sick, I can understand the contemplation during these times as it can seem like they pile on you in these annoying vicious clusters, When it rains it pours as they say. Maybe you feel like you?re being selfish but I see it quite differently, you care about your dad and have spent a lot of time in the hospital worrying about him, that doesn?t sound selfish to me. Stressful times can take their toll on even the strongest among us and I think all things considered you doing quite well, even if things feel less than stellar right now. You dad is in the hospital getting quality care he is in good hands and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hey, That'sfantastic news, ongoing care always put strain on people especiallyfamily members, so your feelings are most understandable, you are showing great empathy despite all this you doing a good job, try to get sometime to yourself to "recharge" i know its been a rough couple of days for you and more that earned it.
