hi Dinah,
I'm so sorry to hear how tough life is for you right now! I truly hope it gets better. This too WILL pass. Everthing gets better. Ebb and flow...like the tides...it WILL get better. You WILL prevail! Life WILL be fun again!It sounds like you need someone to comfort YOU.
You've been taking care of so many -- your mother, your father, your dog, your husband, your son. It sounds like you've dried out the well of dinah-are-taking and now there is nothing left to care for yourself. I wish you could find some way to give YOU comfort and support and relief.
Do you guys in your family have any spare income that could be used for YOU? Something like a trip -- just to get away. Maybe a spa...kind of like the spas in Germany, where they do more whole-body healing than here in the US. Maybe maid service to come clean your house.
It sounds like the meds are holding your panic and stress JUST at bay...but it's nipping at your heels. To me it sounds like you need a BREAK from all of the stressors in your life!
I don't know what that break would look like...but I hope it comes soon.
Thinking of you with kind thoughts...
