I can identify with you. I remember when my son
was diagnosed with Leukemia--I had only just
recovered my nerves from being in a bad car
accident, and had just moved two weeks before to
care for my elderly father.
The first three days seemed to be one very long
anxiety attack. I felt I couldn't breath, but obviously I
was. I caught myself avoiding things, but couldn't
seem to stop myself.
So now I'm still bad with agoraphobia and PD.
Unfortunenately, when your caring for your child,
you haven't much time to care for yourself.
You may want to try accessing any caregiver relief
programs available in your area. If your son's
hospital has a social worker, they may be able to
get you some help.
Try to remeber that your special boy may be a
cause of stress right now, but he is also your
strength, as his need for you will keep you going.
My prayers for you and your son's recovery.
