still going on!

I have had these symptoms for so many years now, but still they frighten me so much.

I am sat here feeling sick, shaking, legs like jelly, dry mouth and convinced i am going to faint.

My son has cut his head when he passed out this morning after having a nose bleed and i am terrified he will need to go to hospital, i feel so sick, dont get me wrong i am worried about my son but i cannot help focusing on how bad i am feeling, why do i react so badly to these things, hubby is still in bed asleep, how i wish i could be like that.

Sorry just getting myself in such a state.
I hate these feelings, i feel useless.
Son is expecting me to be there to help him and i feel like i am the one that needs help.

Thanks Amanda,

Hubby has taken son to hospital, to be on the safe side.

Still feeling shaky etc but mainly feeling guilty due to the fact that i could not face going to hospital with them.

Your right about it being a selfish illness and the guilt i feel is horrendous, but no matter how hard i try i cant get over it and it seems the harder i try the worse i feel, its so frustrating.

Hi Amanda,

Son is back home in one piece he has been stapled back together and says he is fine, i wish i could say i was fine but i am still feeling rough, i guess it will take time to calm down, i just hate feeling like this.

Hi Helen, Im so glad to hear your son is home and feeling better.

Try not to be too hard on yourself, altho for most of us, that is easier said than done :hugs:

Take care
