Judy,
In a way, your Mom sounds like my Mom. I ask Mom about her health, and she has not clue. I'm still praying.
As for you, I remember experiencing periods of high stress, and being pissed at everyone, and anyone. I had to learn to relax, and self-soothe, without alcohol or drugs. That was freaking hard. But, I learned to self-soothe, and relax, even during the most stressful situations. I do breathing exercises, and take walks mostly. I also meditate, and do visualization exercises. I know how hard it is to have a high stress job, and worry about my Mom, or kids. I was going through my painful divorce, my kids were all moving away. My baby came home from his fist semester at college on heroin, and I was stuck driving him to and from outpatient rehab at night, after teaching at the worst school I ever worked in. Plus, there was 9/11 that same time period. Somehow, I stopped drinking, and learned to calm down. It took a ton of practice, and trial and error.
I am just sharing this because I have been under that horrible stress, and it hurt me physically, not just mentally.
Take lots of deep breaths. Slow and smooth. For at least a couple minutes at a time, several times a day. One of the things I learned when I was going to the chiropractor in PA, was that during high stress situations, our muscles contract. Deep breathing gets more oxygen to all parts of the body, especially our brain, and muscles. That helps us physically relax the body, even in the stress.

Trish...shocking as it is I have NOT touched nor wanted a drinks since I got the news about my mom!!! YES I am stressed but I am doing my deep breathing and I AM relaxing or TRYING to here!!! I sit here at my PC at home and play my games and shut the world out!!! Mom is medicated and there is WHY she is out of it...My sister is TRYING her best with all her health issues to keep me calmed down. She will find out today all she can and call me later.
Thanks for being here for me!!! AGAIN!!!
HUGSSSSSSSSSS
Good for you for working on breathing to relax. Keep up the good work. Also good for you for not drinking on purpose. Nothing wrong with an occasional drink, except for alcoholics like me. I am proud for you for dealing with all this as well as you are. Keep on keeping on.
Hugs!!!!!

Tri****hink the reason I am NOT drinking is IF I have to leave in a hurry it would be ME driving at night because Rick drinks after work every night...not sure but that's my story...LOL but thanks for being proud of me!!!
