So sorry to read that you have further complications with your health @outlander
I can understand how this leads you to feel so anxious and exasperated with life...
You have been such a survivor for so long with far too much on your plate..
I do hope that you have some ongoing regular professional support...
You have worked so very hard against these odds and I believe in you as you bounce back from so much...
Perhaps now is about regaining your strength and allowing some rest and healing for your body.... long overdue...
Easy for me to write about ....
I have had to overcome a major physical change with my body without warning..
along with other operations along the way..
It is unimaginable and hard to grasp..
It does take time when major...
It is achievable though..
I myself need to revisit this concept as have been so focussed on helping others in my life...
I need to put myself first and avoid history repeating itself..
Acceptance of a rare illness or condition is very very hard...
It is what it is and once we are able to move past the shock ...
with help we can achieve a life..
different..
still a life...
The pandemic is not helpful at all for you at this time dealing with everything that you are going through either.
Anxiety is heightened even amongst the healthiest..
Seek assistance in this area of anxiety as you have every right to do so and do not feel any self doubt..
Anxiety is a human emotion that occurs when there is change within us that unsettles us...
This comes in varying degrees and is all relevant..
The government has poured so much money into mental health care plans paid by medicare via your gp.
If not already on one you can book an appointment via mydoc...request a telehealth (phone call) ...
ask as you more than deserve for a referral for help with anxiety via telehealth with a professional...
help via phone if this is what you prefer of course will make it far easier for you to follow through with..
If you decide to follow this path you will have to sign some paperwork...
This may or may not be able to be done on line...
They will let you know..
Yes I know.. I am being motherly and perhaps bossy again..
I really do care outlander
and am frustrated that you are still not getting the help that you need in so many areas..
Apologies that I have not written to you that often of late..
Life is not easy as you know...
take care 💜
