    Hello troubled mind,

    I'm not a doctor i only play one on the internet...LOL

    It sounds like you are expserancing post trumatic stress syndrom, some thing like that.

    Probably all the stress over you sister, your as they say comming down from all that stress, it should go away shortly

    I wouldn't worry, but if it continues,seek professional help to be safe'

    Kind regards

    Acadian

    Acadian , I think your right about the Post traumatic stress . It feels like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop . I guess because a couple of years ago we went through all this with my mom and the outcome was not so good. In fact the worst time of my life . In the back of my mind I keep preparing for the worst.

    ((( troubled mind))). I have a delayed reaction to stressful events. During the event I bottle up most emotion. When the coast is clear and I don't have to be "strong" anymore then I have all the stress and emotion associated with the event. Is your sister ok?

    Thanks for asking , yes my sister is making progress ,but because of other health problems she will be hospitalized a while. I too hold everything in until later , yesterday I had a melt down ,now I feel some better. During the whole ordeal I feel like I have to take charge and take care of everyone around me ( because I do ) so maybe it was time for me to deal since we're in a safe zone now. No one from my hall has called or asked about the family .That made a point with my husband , who still is half way a believer of jwdumb.
