I'm feeling frightened, selfish, worried

My fabulous pcp has gotten me all approved with my insurance company, and now I'm feeling very anxious trying to justify what I'm doing. I am 5'5", 168 lbs with absolutely no co-morbidities; yet there is a long history of diabetes and hypertension in my family; my mom has both and now has complete kidney failure and is in dialysis 3x weekly. So I know I want to do this because I want to head off trouble before it comes, while I'm still healthy enough to avoid possible complications. Am I acting too soon? I am also my mom's sole caregiver - I'm sure I'm stressing more than I probably should be. Also I have been treated for anxiety and depression. I'd love everyone's feedback! Thanks for letting me rant!
