Exhausted...

GI822 · Post by **GI822** » Thu Sep 11, 2008 8:11 am

My parents just found out a few days ago that I was out on disability from work, I'm 27 and have lived out of my parents house for 3 years. My mom has been over my house everyday since she found out. She'll be over tonight with my dad and she took off work tomorrow to come over.

I'm supposed to start back to work on Monday and the thought of it makes me sick. My parents are obviously concerened about me and I appreicate their help, but today I just feel exhausted. They want to discuss a plan of action tonight an my mom wants to come over tomorrow and take me out. I have been having issues with agoraphobia again and the thought of driving places makes me scared.

I guess I am just feeling very overwhelmed and exhausted from all of this. I have so much on my mind. My parents think I should come home, they want to go to my next dr. appt with me, my mom wanted to go to my job tomorrow and talk to my boss... my god it's just so much! I'm dreading what my dad has to say to me tonight, since I probably heard it all from my mom already.

Don't get me wrong I truly truly appreciate my parents and am thankful that someone cares enough about me to step in and help me. I guess I am just drained.

Dear GI,
Wow! That is a lot.
Do you have the program? If so, I think it would help you to review lesson 3--and maybe focus on overcoming anticipitory anxiety.
Thank God your parents care about you. But there's a lot for you to do on your own.
Take care!

Hi GI822. My name is Missi. I can totally understand where you are right now. Last December I sarted having anxiety and panic attacks again. They got so bad that it was hard for me to work and I didn't want to be alone. I ended up moving in with my parents for a month. I didn't want to do it. I have my own apartment, but it fiinally got so bad that I knew I had to do it because I couldn't take care of myself anymore. I wasn't eating or sleeping. It was the best thing I could have done. This may not be right for you, but I wanted to put it out there that maybe you could benefit from the help your parents are offering. I worked the program the whole time I was with them. Sending healing helpful thoughts your way.
