Summer tension and stress unfortunately took their toll. Or perhaps my health would have faltered anyway. Amidst this, a phobia and paranoia (about illnesses) emerged. My children are young, and I'm not young anymore. It all seemed to coincide with my child's official diagnosis, disability оформление, and acceptance (that my child will be this way and require lifelong support). My health has significantly declined over the last ten years, unfortunately. I also had surgery a week ago. Three days ago, my blood pressure spiked severely (this has never happened before). Friends, I apologize for the negativity, but could you offer some support?

I'm usually a laid-back person, but lately I've noticed this anxiety in myself too... I try really hard to control my thoughts, I push them away immediately, but they're still there.

This is a normal reaction of the psyche. I also started experiencing anxiety with age, but finding small joys and more physical activity will make everything great

Lyudmila 🫂 I'm sending you a hug 🥰
It's the autumn body reset, and on top of that, your thoughts aren't as scary as you think – it's normal to have them, we all think about things sometimes. Please don't be sad, just approach everything with a philosophical mindset 🧐 ❤️❤️❤️

Wishing you health! I've been planning to see a psychiatrist myself since spring. There are moments when I work myself up to the point of panic(

I'm not a friend, but I want to support you.
A child's disability is a huge event that simply cannot leave a mother unchanged. What you're going through, your thoughts and emotions, are normal – give them space and time.
Everything passes, and this will pass too.
You will change, your child will change anyway, life will change.
There's so much we can't influence, but we can influence our thoughts and actions, we can influence how we relate to what we can't change.
Your strength is within you.
Hugging you!

Lyana I've probably already scared my husband. I keep telling him, 'The appointment for this doctor is here, and for that one it's over there. And don't forget this doctor. Oh, and I have the referral here, I need to remember to make an appointment. And don't forget my card's PIN code.' He's already looking at me strangely.

It's so hard for you without help, you barely get any rest, sending hugs. Chase away the bad thoughts, there's wonderful music for relaxation, you need to accept the situation and live your life, you only have one.

Everything will be okay. I often have these thoughts too. I have almost no energy, but I have to raise my daughter. Everything is given according to our strength.

Lyuda, you are strong and brave, no matter how difficult and scary it gets, no matter how much you doubt yourself.
Children are not only your responsibility but also a great support. Your eldest is already your pillar, and your middle daughter is growing up to be a smart one too. Thanks to a mom like you, they are being raised with an understanding of unconditional support for loved ones. And you can already lean on them even now. This trial is not just for you, but for them too – it's a test of humanity, of kindness, and they have plenty of that from you.
Take care of yourself, and everything will work out somehow. And even if life doesn't become perfect, it will be happy. You can make that happen for your children and for yourself.
You are brave. I, myself, didn't even go to the doctor during my worst flare-up, even though things are very, very bad for me.
But I have no one to lean on emotionally; everyone is used to just taking from me, and my ailments only anger them. I hide it, live on painkillers, and even they don't help much. I'm just biding my time, postponing examinations. Because there's no point in me knowing the truth about diagnoses. I see no point in getting treatment anyway. If it's what I fear, then it's better to get it over with quickly – less suffering for me and for those around me. And my family is unlikely to support me. The principle here is: 'first do everything we need from you, and then you can be sick as much as you want.'
At least your loved ones appreciate you.
Everything will get better for you; it's just that a lot has piled up at once, plus autumn blues. Everything will be okay!

Olga Elin, I'll tell you later, I can't go into detail right now. In short – I can't eat anymore. I'm scared, it hurts, and I don't even know what to eat.
After certain foods, I lose consciousness – it feels like a terrible fatigue knocks me off my feet and I fall asleep wherever I stand/sit – this is most likely diabetes.
Plus, I constantly feel full, even though I haven't eaten for many, many hours. I'm afraid to eat in the morning – I put it off until the evening. And the pain. It spreads from the center under my sternum to my entire abdomen. I used to be afraid it was appendicitis, but I've been living like this for over a month now, it would have burst long ago. 3 pancreatitis flare-ups in 3 weeks, but I didn't call an ambulance – one night I was rolling on the kitchen floor in pain.

Olga Yes, it could be your gallbladder. My mom had hers removed. She put off the surgery for a long time, but she got through it. She also had terrible attacks. Don't be afraid of the removal. Autumn is when everything flares up for everyone.

Olga Oh, diabetes, yes, I recently learned it can develop at any age and due to stress. My mom got pre-diabetes like that; she was stressed, and six months later, her blood sugar was borderline, so now she's on a diet.

Olga I've also been on a diet for a long time – no fatty, spicy, sweet, or floury foods, and no dairy. And still, something isn't right. I've been living in a state of 'cold-hunger' for weeks (unfortunately, I can't get any rest).
Our pancreas issues are hereditary – my sister has had problems for a long time and needs surgery, but she's putting it off. My dad's cancer started with his pancreas, then spread to his stomach and all his internal organs. When they operated, they said he had no healthy digestive organs left – everything was black and full of metastases.
Diabetes doesn't scare me as much because of the sugar, but because my legs have been hurting badly for a long time – I can barely get up in the mornings. And my vision has dropped sharply. Doubled in half a year.
And I need to sort all this out, but I don't want to deal with our local clinic again. I've been on hormones for 5 years, and annual check-ups like ultrasounds, blood tests, and mammograms are supposed to be mandatory. But I haven't been able to get a mammogram for 3 years, even though my breast and underarm sometimes hurt very, very badly. Just really badly. I've tried to get a referral at the women's clinic 4 times in the last year – and they never gave me one. Either it was vacation time, I quit my job, there were no appointments, or someone was sick. You can only book in person with the doctor, and you can only see the doctor in person (not even by phone or online) and so on. They've made such a bureaucratic mess.
I'm willing to pay for it now, but it's on the other side of the city. I don't have time.
So, I was waiting for the kids' school holidays, thinking I'd finally take care of my health. No such luck. We have to urgently go to my mother-in-law's for the entire holiday – her wall collapsed and needs fixing. I'll be helping out, plus the kids will be with me, plus the journey is almost a full day each way. I'm going to die.
But I can't let them go alone either – the journey is difficult. If anything happens, it's better if we're all together (there are lots of birds flying and falling there, the border is relatively close, all the birds that fly over Moscow pass over them).

Olga Yes, it's tough when you're unsure about your health and imagine the worst, which only makes things feel even worse.
