Feeling Out Of Control With My Anxiety

It has been a while since I posted anything. My world is so upside down right now. I have had a few situation happen that were beyond my control. My therapist who I have not seen in 3 weeks is now on an extended leave of absence til Sept. I was suppose to have an appointment with him 3 weeks ago but was told he was sick. I then was told he would be back July 14 so I called everyday to try and get an appointment.

I knew something was wrong because he always gets back to me the same day or next day. I now have to get used to his replacement. Last week was a week from hell July 11 I got a notice from my caretaker my townhouse was going to be treated for bed bugs. I do not have any but a lady 3 doors down had them. That was very difficult process by the time my brother who lives with me had time off work we literally were packing the day before.

We started at 7 am on July 16 and worked with minimal breaks til 10 pm. Then 2 hours the next day(6 -8 am) See we were told in the notice pest control would be at the house anytime between 8 am - 8 pm. We had to pack everything like we were moving. Before we bagged any cloth items that had be put in the dryer. So a lot of work. Now in the midst of all this my niece and nephew where in town with their adoptive family. Ugh the "planning" really trigger me.

My family wanted me to ask my ex if the kids could have time with their cousins. Now huge issue my ex was asking me for details but because my family wanted to have a "relaxed" timeline they were not able to give me the information.I hated not knowing what was going on when I need structure with little to no surprises or changes. It was so stressful but once the day came it went off well.I am so stressed I am not sleeping well and if I sleep i am exhausted for not resting.

I am having more panic attacks then I have had in a long time. I am also experiencing that every time I eat something I am either getting heartburn or throwing up I am seriously thinking it is from the stress.

Oh I forgot to mention I am looking for a new family doctor and today I missed it because I forgot when it was in my brain it was a half an hour later then the actual appointment. I was told to call Aug 1 to have a meet and greet appointment re-booked.

That is a lot to deal with at one time. It is amazing how all those things can build up. I can completely understand the need for structure and lack of changes and surprises. I need it even more when I am stressed out. The therapist change alone is pretty stressful I would say.:hug: I really hope life smooths out and you start feeling better soon.
