I am so sorry that you are going though this. It is crazy when something happens and your live changes. This is a great group to be in, when you are feeling upset and you don't know what to do. Come on and tell us what is going on and we will try to help you. I know what you are going through, two years ago my dad had a accident and he ended up in a wheelchair my sister and I had to move back home to take care of him. I was working and going to college, and I had to put my college on hold and work part time so I could take care of my dad because he could not take care of himself. He is now just starting to use a walker. If you would like to talk more, just let me know. Hugs

I am really sorry for what has happened to you. One thing that helped me when I had anxiety is because of a friends question. He asked me "What r u afraid of?" It got me thinking and I realized that anxiety is fear.

Since I have some experience of facing my fears, I was able to calm down and see what exactly I was afraid of. Once I realized that I was scared, I was able to get rid of my mental anxiety. (I used to have physical anxiety but that was years ago)

Even if you are not an alcoholic, the Serenity Prayers helps.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;

Lots of love and prayers.

I am sorry to hear that. It's hard but don't give up, it will suck for a while but think that one day all of this will be in the past. Also with the health insurance make sure that they listen to you, elevate your voice if you need to. Because it is for your health, the companies and most of the physicians don't really care to much. And if you cannot get the insurance to so it, consider Mexico or other Latin American countries, depending on the procedures, some are free or cost vey little money, and they have great professionals. I hope you feel better soon.

With insurance, it is so important to keep written records of who you talk to, contact numbers, and to remember that the first person you talk to has zero medical knowledge for diagnosis or treatment. Their purpose is to prevent payment for procedures - and so, you are your own best advocate in making certain the procedures are approved for payment in a timely manner. When it comes to parents ... their experience is what they base their perspective on, and so their support level often is far below what we desire. Anxiety is natural, so make it work for you. You are your best support. Stay hydrated, be gentle to your self, and work with a plan of action that you can measure your balance. Best wishes.
