Seconds Away From Losing My Composure

MrsCase1 · January 2011

Ever feel like when it rains, it pours? I'm trying very hard to keep perspective and remember that it could ALWAYS be worse but I'm feeling frazzled because of these things:

1. Waiting on a family member's CT scan to see if their cancer has returned. This person is not taking it well (understatement) and I am largely involved in their care so family members have expectations of me handling things. This person has threatened self-harm if the results are bad.

2. Waiting on the results of the NT scan and not feeling like my baby is an afterthought compared to the cancer stuff.

3. Waiting to hear if the insurance company for the person who hit DH (and admitted guilt!) will cooperate. They've been rude thus far.

4. Various other small things that feel magnified under the stress of the above 3 things.

I guess I need to work on my patience? I am making a deliberate decision to not place my faith in my fears, but still, today is a struggle. Thank you for allowing me to vent.

Edit: The insurance company just called and they are accepting liability. Hooray!
