Struggling

This is so frustrating! All I want is a good night sleep. I wake up at different times in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and trembling from my nerves. I need to call my insurance today to see if they can give me a name of a psychiatrist. Until then I'm struggling.

Hi Paulette. I am trying to keep my composure. It's really hard though when I get like this. I'm a stay at home mom with an 8 yr old and 4 yr old plus I babysit my 2 yr old grandbaby. My husband works so much and right now he's working the night shift. I'm always on a schedule and it gets overwhelming for me at times. I know for a fact that part of why I'm feeling so anxious is because I went to the doctor last week to get my lab results and now I'm being referred to a doctor concerning my liver. I'm so scared and I don't have my mom or my two closest sisters anymore as they have passed away. It's hard talking to my husband because even though he sympathizes with me he still has to leave and work. I am fixing to call my insurance right now. I hope they can lead me in the right direction. Thanks for asking it means a lot.

Everything will be ok---it could be something very simple or it could be nothing at all with your liver. It doesn't help though, until you know what is happening. Hopefully you staying in your routine will help you deflect those scary feelings. Keep your mind distracted from them. My husband works nights as well-so when I'm having a bad time he also worries when he has to leave me. But somehow I survive.....I think it's merely by the grace of God sometimes. You said you were "fixing to" call your insurance...do u live in the south. I live in NC -so "fixin' to" is very familiar 😁

Sorry to hear that you are not sleeping. That can take a toll on your overall well being. I hope you were able to get ahold of your insurance company.

Have you considered taking herbal supplements? I've take Melatonin before for my sleeplessness, and it helped a great deal. Just a thought.
