Hello All,
I'm coming apart at the seams an could use some help.
My brother in law passed away a few weeks ago and I had been trying to get to my sister. My husband has terminal cancer and I'm his caregiver and he got a new diagnosis that has shortened his timeline significantly. The stress of that caused me to have a small stroke.
I finally got to my sister (hours by plane away) and my husband is home with nursing care while am gone but his PTSD (military) has kicked into overdrive and he has been calling all his drs and has discovered he has new cancers that his Dr & I decided to delay telling him until I got home (he also has dementia) but he somehow found out. My phone is exploding with calls from him & his dr every 5 minutes and I can't handle 1 more thing. My PTSD is in hyper drive and I can't put together a sentence. Trying to process grief and preparing to process more that is to come is making me ill and rendering me useless. At what point do I collapse in a heap? My anxiety and hypervigilence is out of control and I can't sit still or sleep. I welcome any tips on getting this under control before I collapse.
