Well I have the chills and am exhausted. Hoping I'm just tired and not getting sick.

Either washing my hands a bazillion times a day, or hand-sanitizer is making the backs of my hands burn. I might be allergic to something in the hand sanitizer  |

There is a young man (11) who disappeared from a neighborhood five weeks ago. His step-mom was just arrested for murder this morning. I watched the press conference today and my heart just broke for his parents and little sister. I am not worried as much as feel so bad for this family who has just gone through the wringer these last 35 days. So sad.

She lied about when she last saw him and that he was in her truck. I feel so bad for the parents, especially the dad, knowing he brought her into their lives. I hope they find his body so he can rest in peace. |

I'm worried about my autoimmune disease, it's still not under control. My doctor is being extremely conservative with my treatment because I have complicating factors. I want relief but not at the expense of a serious medication side effect. So yeah, I feel awful and have a bunch of weird symptoms and abnormal lab test results and can't just throw every drug on the market at it until one works. I'm starting something new later this week, maybe it will help.

I hope they find his body so he can rest in peace. I think many people were just trying to be kind and not blaming her (initially), but I don't know of anyone who didn't think she had her hand in it. It sounds like she might have had her daughter in on it (my speculation only) and maybe the daughter cracked. I'm not sure how they could have arrested her without a body or more substantial evidence. Who knows. |

We are currently finishing up a massive remodel that has gone waaaaaay over budget. So, I am worried about more overages in the next month before we finish, and then how the new payments will affect our finances. It is what it is, but, it is really stressful for me.

Short-term--getting everything packed for a multi-day scrapbooking retreat next weekend, including making a casserole for my part of the meals, making lists for DH about the boys' schedules, all while going about my regular busy daily life (days and most evenings too).
Long-term--having to wait until end of June to get in to see a Psychiatrist for DS's ADHD (hoping to get in earlier via the waitlist). He's been on meds for 4 years now, but he's back to sitting and not doing his work which means he has a lot of homework (and he hates homework). He also seems to be developing tics. He didn't gain any weight between his physical and his 6 month med/weight check so the Pediatrician doesn't want to simply up his meds, but decided to send us to this psychiatrist for more help.
Long-term part 2--older DS is in the middle of Drivers Ed and we're hoping to get him a school permit so he can get to and from school (mostly for baseball). That means a 3rd car and adding him to our insurance...ouch.

My 18.5 year old son didn’t get his license until this past month. I only own one car (compact sedan I’ve had 7 years and love.)
We live in the NE, and we get a lot of snow and ice. As a graduation present and 18th birthday present I told him I’d provide him a car, and I’ve been sharing my car - gritted teeth(!) but this past weekend bought a 2010 Mercury Mountaineer (AWD) and in great shape. I intended for him to drive it.
He wants my car!!!!! They are the same value, I really don’t care about that- but I’ve been driving on snow and ice for nearly 30 years, and I feel like he’d be much much safer in a bigger, AWD, SUV. But he is terrified of it. Terrified of a bigger car, where I am terrified of him being in an accident in the car. Friends of mine lost their 21 year old son right before Christmas going off the road less than a mile from their home. (In a full size truck, perfect weather, no substances and no known other vehicles involved.) My son keeps reminding me that a million small, front wheel drive, compact cars are on the road everyday... etc etc. Crash test data is showing them to be fairly equal.

Ugh...so many things, Mostly a little boy in my class that is extremely aggressive and destructive. It’s wearing me out and making me not want to go to work. I’m exhausted. Also...the transmission in my car is slipping. How much is THAT going to cost? I’ve been sick for a solid month. I got the flu on Super Bowl Sunday and STILL have a cough. Wny won’t it go away? I’m always worried about my brother that has cancer. Climate change. My 401k. Running out of toilet paper because of a supply chain disruption caused by the Corona virus. That we’re going to be stuck with DT as our president for 4 more years. Basically, everything.

I might be allergic to something in the hand sanitizer Whenever someone in our house is sick, or if someone has something big coming up and we're trying to keep them healthy, I wash my hands constantly. And they crack so bad! I am trying to put on hand lotion every time I wash my hands before they get sore again. |

My son who is an alcoholic and is divorced. He has 2 darling little boys, ages 7 and 5 years and hasn’t seen them in 14 months even though he lives 20 minutes away from them 😢 Hugs! My brother has two sons (half the US away) that he hasn’t seen in 17 years. They are not quite 20 yet. It makes me sad that (for lots of reasons- many of them his fault) he has been so far removed from their lives. But it really and truly breaks my heart that my parents (through no fault of their own) have missed out on two of their grandsons growing up, and those two boys have missed out on having the most loving and caring and special grandparents I can imagine. My son and I have seen the boys twice in the last 17 years. It really sucks when parents can’t be adults for their children. I hope you are able to have a relationship with your grandsons. |

So much worry and sadness all around us.
I am worried about my 27 year old son. He has been struggling for close to a year now. There are definitely some drug issues, things I don’t know are true or not.
I just want him sane and happy.
I am still trying to single handedly pack our house of 20 years to move to Florida where my husband has been since July.
I am literally paralyzed by anxiety.

Selfish but hoping to make it to my surgery date with out having to go to the ER. That and that it won’t get bumped. It isn’t until April 29th. I was told if things get bad to go and things have been getting worse overall. Trying higher meds and hoping it helps. I’ve almost gone 3 times but didn’t and it’s likely I will have several more bad flares before my date. Really hoping to avoid it.
Really hoping this coronavirus doesn’t get too bad and cause too much disruption and worse loss of life. I feel so bad for those in the skilled care in the Seattle area.

My dog has cancer and I don't know yet if it's treatable or the possible life expectancy. If it is treatable, I have no idea how much it could cost. We only have one pet, so this is devastating.

My DD had a lingering cough and the pediatrician suggested some Zyrtec and it worked. Try it if it doesn't mess with your system. We used the generic brand. |

My mom's parotid cancer growth is growing (she can feel it) because they took her off the paclitaxel because of her neuropathy (had troubles walking and not feeling good). She's been on chemo every 3 weeks for 10 months. I think the doctors will change meds. My sister who lives with my mom says I need to plan a trip home to visit.
We are trying to sell house/buy/rent another to get kids into better school. We need a new roof. Do we sell our current house as is and then rent in district? What about using Redfin instead of realtor? ECK!
DH writing another SBIR grant for his cancer drug, VDX-111, due April 1, so March will be crazy.

Everything. Running the gamut from specific to me and my family to the world at large. Worrying is what I do best.
-my weight
-hairloss
-my daughter has been experiencing consistent headaches recently, and is in a stressful internship right now.
-my other daughter is trying to figure out university housing for next year
-trying to keep up at work
-our current political situation
-Coronavirus

This reminds me of the movie where Morgan Freeman was God and Jim Carey gets to take over for a while..and he grants everyones wishes. I know it did not turn out well in the movie, but I wish we all did not have so much to worry about.
I am worried about my mom who lives 2000 miles away from me and has cancer not getting the care she needs, she is all alone but won't move here with me because she loves her house and the weather. Sigh. She is compromised due to chemo and I am so scared she will get sick from something else.
I am supposed to do some stuff with friends that I really can't afford right now and I need to tell them and I don't want to. They will understand, but it is embarassing and then I get left out which feels pretty crummy.
((((hugs)))) to all, I am just trying to be zen, hang at home and craft. Deep breaths.

They will understand, but it is embarassing and then I get left out which feels pretty crummy. Just wanted to say-after putting this in the thread I took a deep breath and sent the email that cancelled the plans. I was super polite and I really do feel better about it. trump being reelected I can get behind worrying about that. Unfortunately other than vote in November I can't do too much except worry about this one. |

My dad had surgery for a large sarcoma on his head and several lymph nodes and a salivary gland on one side of his neck and a skin graft from his leg for his missing scalp. While doing the surgery they could see that it had seeded up to his eye area, but know they weren't able to get it all. It's quite aggressive. They are still putting together a chemo and/or radiation plan and waiting for him to heal some more.
I wish they didn't live so far away, but most siblings are nearby so I know he is being well cared for.
