Anxiety Is Causing Personality “Disorder” ? Not Panic Attack

@SusanEllen66 Wow, that is a long visit. So, now we need to come up with some coping strategies for a long visit, and the stress that incurs. Anxiety can be a wicked thing. The relationship with your sister may have some shaky aspects, but it will be important for you to set boundaries on what to accept and deal with, right? Now is the time to figure that out. And let her know if that is what you want to do, so she understands clearly what is going to happen.
If you have other family members around your area, perhaps your sister can spend some time with them, also?

@gingerw well, my sister is 11 years younger than me and our personalities could not be more different.
She is a good person, but we have different opinions and values. I’m so used to being by myself that it’s hard for me to let go of my “stuff” and trust someone else with it. I’ve been hurt too many times by people close to me. I have trouble with “sharing” my stuff. So all this stress and anxiety is because of myself.
She knows I am not in the best place physically and mentally so she is coming to take care of me.
The only family I have left is my youngest son. She may spend an afternoon with him. My daughter died 5 years ago.
It will work out fine for me if I can keep my eyes focused on what’s good, and peaceful.
