Anxiety, anxiety, anxiety!

Im having really bad anxiety today.

Ive been trying to contact the guys car I hit on friday. I called the guy all weekend, and now Im tryin to call his insurance company too with no return calls. I just want to get this guys car in the shop and get it paid for. He's holding out to see if Pauls insurance will pay for this. It wont as Im not covered. We are wanting to pay cash.

This is a really stressful situation. I havea doctor appointment tomarrow and am grateful. I still dont feel rght. My kidneys hurt constantly no matter what. There is alot of things that are just up in the air right now and I dont know how to fix it.

Hey Gwen,
Take a breath, try to find your center. I've been where you are and inevitably my panic makes things worse. Try to come from a place of strength. Why won't the insurance pay? I don't understand.

You've done the next right thing by acknowledging your part and calling him. Sometimes you have to let go of the outcome and just let things unfold as they will.

Take extra good care of you, Gwen, you have a lot going on right now. I would think your health should be WAY high on your list.

Hugs
Cats

Khrea75, Im not covered on ins because I dont have a license. I am eligibile and have already put into motion on getting that back. And since I wasnt wrote any tickets from the accident, then I can continue to get it back.

And yes, my health is my priority right now. I quit my job this morning as that is a condition of me getting my social security disability back. Also I just dont think I can take working anymore with as much pain Im in on a daily basis. I have 3 doctors that dont want me working because its causing my Crohns Disease to flair and setting off the kidney problems. Kinda like a domino effect.

I did hear from the guy whose car I hit tonight. They turned it in to progressive ins and the car is going into the shop tomarrow for estimate and repair. I just have to pay the insurance. Im estimating $3000-4000. So now its just time to sit and wait.

I have an appointment with my specialist tomarrow. He treats my Crohns. He also has all control on my meds. He want to try a new treatment that extremely expensive. So we will see what happens. I plan on telling him how I whacked out this last week and all the problems I got going on. He's gonna think Im a real loon but oh well.

Gwen, After everything you have been through, you can sooo handle this. Try not to get too worked up so your Crohns doesn't get out of hand. One step at a time.

Glad you are coming here to let some of this out, Gwen...Baby steps. The most important thing is getting your health stabilized. Trust in your HP and things will fall into place as they should, when they should. My problem was always that stress feeling waiting for the "when they should" part; it's taken lots of work to control that part of my reaction. Many hugs and lots of prayers

I went to one of my doctors today and talked o him about what happened this past week and how I was feeling. I didnt get absolutely NO WHERE! He is a gastrointestinal specialist. He says he treats for my crohns disease and other stuff, but I have to talk to my primary care regarding most of what I had to say. I did talk to him regarding my taking narcotic pain meds and he was pretty adamant that i continue with them as it controls my pain level and gives my other meds a chance to work. So Im pretty much at odds on what to do next. I do have an appointment tomarrow with my primary care at 3:20 tomarrow so maybe I will get some answers there. I hope so.

I got ahold of the insurance guy with the mans car I hit. He says to just let them pay the body shop and then they will submit me a bill in a couple weeks of the total damage an I can just make payment to them directly. I dont think thats the way I want to do this. I work on cars and know how body shops work. They cme up with the highest estimate possible so they get paid and then I get a huge bill. So I called the body shop and explained to the guy that even tho the insurance is paying the bill up front, I am paying it back to them. The body shop charges for the highest price materials and products they can find, versus if its a deal like mine they can find parts from a local junkyard or they look for deals to keep the esimate lower. Also they charge insurance a flat rateon the hours billed versus what the time it really takes. On a estimate the damages to this car is probably around 1500. But if its an insurance deal then I can bet on at least 4000-5000. So let pray this doesnt get outrages but really its no fault but my own.

Then to my daugfhter calls me this evening in tears b/c she let her step mom dye her hair browm and it turned out AWFUL!!!!!! So now I hve to call a solon to professionally strip the color from her hair. Wonder what this is gonna cost me? She's so upset, I cant just tell her she's outta luck. Her step mom and dad wont do a thing to help either. YAY!

Hey All,
Just a quick update. I went to the dr on thursday and he didnt have much to say. He said it takes time o work all the medicine out. So he put me on another anti-depressant(Paxil), and said to continue with the other meds. Once the paxil kicks in it should eliminate the other meds. But Im not sure what i think abot it all. I guess just follw what he saysand wait to see what happens. Not much else to do. I have been pretty calm the last few days. Really sleepy alot and no motivation to do much of anything.
