hi Deneb,
thanks for responding! :) I don't know if I should talk to anyone in my family about my worries. What if it just makes them more concerned about ME? I don't want them to need one more thing to worry about like "Oh God, I better not tell JenStar I have a cold or she'll freak out and think I'm dying," or something like that. And I also want to be seen as strong and helpful, a rock that my family can depend upon. I don't want them to see that I have a weak core. Although possibly they already know it! Plus I hate death & dying and don't even want to discuss it, as if avoiding the discussion could avoid the thing itself.My hubby is under a lot of pressure at work. Actually I didn't even tell him that my Dr. upped my dose of Lexapro from 10 to 20 mg/day. I mean I WANTED to tell him, but again, it's just one more thing to worry about. I don't know...
