Hey all,
I haven't been posting much because life got in the way. My 93 year old grandmother fell and broke her hip and never fully recovered. She passed away two weeks ago. At the same time my grandmother fell, my dad started having difficulty swallowing. After several tests we found out he has stage three non-operational esophageal cancer. Just as we started treating it with radiation and chemo, my dad got too sick. He doesn't want to spend the time he has left sick. I've been a waking zombie, just trying to figure out what to do with everything. On top of everything else, I'm getting married in 99 days (but whose counting), and I'm so behind on my planning. We just started booking our European honeymoon, but I'm already starting to get stressed out over it! I was on an hour flight last June and I was a complete mes and seeing how it's a 16 hour plane ride from CA, I have no idea I'm going to make it.
I'm thinking about getting on anxiety meds to deal with everything, especially for the honeymoon, but I'm not sure. I've done the hypnotherapy cd's twice, and although they have been totally helping my day to day stress, I don't think they are working when I'm dealing with these huge stressors. Aside from a VERY BAD decision from eating Panda Express (what was I thinking? The mushroom chicken did look safe though), I haven't had an attack in months.
I've never taken any pills before ever, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea to start now. Any advice?
