Heart Take Good Care, Rebecca!

Hi Rebecca,

Sounds like you are having a tough time in general and are very anxious about your medical condition today?

It's difficult to piece together what's going on with you medically at this time.
It appears you are unsure of the diagnoses involved?

Sounds like someone has talked with you about getting nerve testing done in the near future?

I'm wondering if your anxiety about your medical condition(s) is higher than usual today?

It's natural to feel some anxiety about any "unknowns" when going through diagnostic processes. We often wonder if we will recover or not, as well as how any condition might affect our lives.

Sometimes, with chronic medical challenges, chronic pain, and dealing with many "unknowns," our anxieties can grow and can take over our thinking.
When this happens, we can feel very worried, very fearful. It is helpful if others can reassure us in these moments of worry/fear/anxiety.

Do you have friends/family around?
Anyone you can call or ask to come to see you?
Are you spending most of your time alone? If so, is it possible to make plans with friends/family or attend a social gatherings?

Do you have any pets?

The motorcycle accident also sounds as though it may have been quite traumatizing?

Have you been evaluated/treated for anxiety and/or depression?
Many of us go through anxiety and depression with the stress of injuries and illnesses/medical conditions.

Are you able to see a therapist to help you with your feelings, your concerns while you also continue testing and PT?

Do you have an emergency number you can call if you need to talk with someone tonight?

I am leaving a number for you. This is a U.S. hotline:

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-TALK(8255)

The web site: www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org

I am sure this hotline will be helpful if you just need to talk about your concerns. You may not need this number, yet I wanted to leave a number with you, just incase you'd needed to talk to someone now.

I think you will learn more about your testing this coming week?

If you have emergent concerns about your welfare, please go to your local E.R.

It's early evening in Washington right now (on Saturday evening).
I hope you will have a restful night.

Please take excellent care of yourself, Rebecca.

Warmly,
DejaVu
