I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve been speaking with a psychologist for seven years and for the last few years, twice a week, plus I speak with a social worker once a week. Nothing seems to help. I just have too much stress in my life, and I’ve been through too many losses, and I’m suffering from grief and my last family member, my older sister, is slowly fading away with lupus and Alzheimer’s, and I feel like I’m going to die. I’m terrified. So yes, I have tons of stress. All my friends and my support system are 1800 miles away and I want to move back home, and I had planned to go back home for a visit and look around this summer, but then this stomach thing came in November And I wasn’t able to Because now I’m too weak and tired. I feel like every time I take a step forward, something knocks me back. I have no idea what to do, to be honest with you. I eat pretty healthy when I’m able to, but I have many food allergies, as I may have mentioned before. And after they removed my gallbladder, I had to go on a bland, fairly mushy diet. (For the first five years I sub, assisted on steam potatoes and canned carrots and applesauce, and I nearly died because I got so skinny.) Finally, I was able to eat better foods like steamed cauliflower, and broccoli and canned salmon, etc., but that was before my husband passed away. I’m really struggling. Thank you for all your kind suggestions. I’m hoping I won’t be too dizzy to drive to the stomach appointment tomorrow. I just got up after sleeping 9 1/2 hours and I’m so dizzy I could barely walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. I’m eating so I don’t pass out, but my stomach still hurts. It’s either eat or die I guess. I used to think my doctor was good, but I think he’s getting ready to retire and he just doesn’t care anymore. I’m so tired of struggling with this by myself. I’m not sure what to do, to be honest.
