I can't even begin to tell you how timely this was today.
I've neglected ME for the last 3 years with MIL and DH's issues and your post literally just pulled me up short.
First off - I hope you're doing better with the BP.
Last time I wasn't allowed to leave my doctor's office unless I was going to hospital (I thought he was overreacting - yeah). BP finally came down and I've been petrified to go back - I'm sure this makes total sense in some alternative universe to someone. My weight is up, and I thought my worries would be lessened once we got MIL into a home - ha ha ha. Meanwhile DH still hasn't looked for a job and then my Mom told me she wants me to pay her life insurance (because I can magically make money appear).
Still, your post meant something to me today and I'm going to make some very overdue phone calls.

I am so sorry you have been dealing with this.
I had to comment, because just the other day I was feeling like I do so much for others...and not enough for myself. My mental health has been suffering, just feeling anxious and exhausted. So many times as a mother you just put yourself last. I have a great husband, and good kids, but I still don't take that time to recharge.
I am so glad you posted, and I hope you are feeling much better now. ((hugs)) gently!

Omgoodness! I am so sorry this is happening to you. Rest and take care and hopefully they can get some answers for you. I am feeling like I need to do more focus on ME too.

Glad you are ok and you will now take care of yourself too!! I moved back from overseas and we put an addition on for my parents, so much stress working with them and caring for their needs and while hosting a birthday party for my dad.. I had a SCAD/heart attack. I know the stress from that had something to do with it, I really thought I was going to crash and then I did. Now we are dealing with the stress from the shutdown, my mom's issues in the hospital and being sent home early and my dad's stress and I am taking a step back only to have my brother texting from far away about things I should do. I am however going to keep stepping back when I feel that stress heighten as it has.
