Frustration with everything. I’m about to lose it

I hope you have found an answer for both of you.
I am so worried about our financial situation that I feel sick. I try to talk to banks and other companies and online, but don’t get much help. Everything is getting jumbled up and I can’t think straight. Then my spouse starts with his silliness and questions that require answers right away or he starts his sarcasm again, which I now tell him to stop.
So I can definitely relate to your frustration and anger. I lost it yesterday after my spouse and I went to see our doctor. Doctor wasn’t there but an assistant came in. We waited over half an hour to see her and I felt terrible. I gave her paperwork for refills which she set aside and didn’t look at. Then she blamed me for not giving her the paperwork. I told her I was sick and didn’t appreciate her blaming me and I walked out. Something else I tried to deal with and I lost it.
Then we went to return items my spouse had bought and because I was sick, had a difficult time finding the info I needed for the returns. I was running back and forth to get a cart for his returns. People were looking at me like I’m a crazy woman rushing around with a cart. Afterwards, I cried for about half an hour and wanted to cry more, but we were running errands and I didn’t want to make a scene. I was shaking so bad and it was uncontrollable. Got home, took cold meds and slept for an hour. Felt much better and had a good evening.
Everything is overwhelming, especially people.

I don't know if this will be of any help, but I took care of my mother. She had a problem with night urination, needing to go every hour, and I was concerned about her falling. We placed a commode next to her bed,and she was able to manage this quite well. BUT, I was additonally concerned about her possible falling and no one being with her to call for help. I know how difficult it is to get night help and wondered how I could solve this problem. I had two children and boy and girl, and they had two friends. Like most teenagers they were always looking for a way to earn extra money. I had each one of them spend one night a week with my mother. All they had to do was sleep there. If there were a problem to call me or 911. I lived next door. Everyone slept well and secure. No accidents, and no emergency calls, peacfull and happy mornings.

Oh Janet, I'm sorry sorry you are going through such a tough time. Things seemed to be going so will for you and your husband at your new place. Everything is harder and more overwhelming when you aren't feeling well. Is there anyway you can just take a few day to feel better before dealing with other issues?
Thinking of you,
