reflex sympathetic dystrophy

I have been dx one year ago and have just recently been very anxious.  My doctors have never suggested that I seek any counselling because they feel that I have everything under control.  And I really have until yesterday.  My husband knows and has helped me through the night but I don't know how to tell my doctors or if I really need to.  I don't want them to think that I am crazy. Please help.  I was the one who could always do it all and now I can't hold up all those "balls" up in the air any more.  Thanks for listening.  Kat.

Sounds like you have already answered your own question. You are overloaded and overwhelmed, it is one of the best reasons to get counseling....to get your perspective back.

If you need something concrete to show to your doctors in order to be comfortable getting a referral, I suggest you go to my Mastering Stress problem, and printout a list of the things that are bothering you and begin to work on them.  That should do the trick for you.
