Need advice to calm down (Long)

[bargainhuntingbetty]

Hi My dad has been taken into hospital (AGAIN) with a broken leg this time and the leg is going to have to come off. We have been expecting this for some time but this has just confirmed it. Trouble is, I was coping now Im not.

Am worried about dd going back to school and trying to keep an eye on my mum, visit my dad, keep the kids entertained in the hols, see to the dogs, keep on top of the house. Am not sleeping well and now have constant butterflies in my tummy which I know is the depression starting. Am already on AD's and dont know what to do, I cannot fall apart as I have to keep my mum level. Advice please.

?????????

Ok thanks.

All good advice thanks. I am organised with a lot of things but the house work etc is not on my list and it gets away from me and that just adds to the stress. Need to be more organised.

Thank you for the advice tho it is much appreciated

Yeah I know and re the clean clothes : Washing machine broke last night so another PITA to deal with .

I will have to get myself into some kind of routine or I will run myself ragged.

It has all just slapped me in the face today and Im not doing to good. Will take the kids to see him tonight as they are worried about him and then I will deal with myself

Thanks, my brother is away this week so there is only me and mum who can go through to visit him, once he is transfered nearer to home it will be better but until then it is just me and mum, I am meant to be going away for the weekend up to my best friends but I dont know if I could honestly go away and leave mum and dad in this mess

Thank you so much for your advice, am not having a good day today either, its mums birthday and dad has been transered to another hospital although that was messed up. Its just the unknown thats difficult. Once we have the facts we can move on. I really need a good cry and a yell at someone but Im afraid that if I start I wont stop.
