A bit overwhelmed
First, and least important, I have a sinus infection.
Next, J is having some health issues. He's wearing a heart monitor 24-7 because he's having some issues. His heart races, but also seems to skip a beat. When he has one of his episodes and I hear his heart rate and it scares the shit out of me. He's now sending in his 8th episode right now and it's starting to sink in. I can't even go down that road of thought - I'll fall apart.
And, this morning we got a call from J's family - apparently my sis in law M's fiance S (further known as dumbass) got himself arrested. We know very little except that he's charged with two counts of felony theft of a fire arm. Stupid Fuck! (Sorry for the language, as I said, my cup is overflowing). She's living in BFE, not able to pay her bills because there are no decent jobs there, so she can be with him while he finishes school. She's given up so much to be with him and he goes and decides to be a dumbass! I'm just heartbroken for her and I'd love to beat some sense into him, but I think I'll have to get in line behind J and his bros and there may not be anything left after they get a hold of him (and I am meaning metaphorically - they would never touch him, but would love to give them a piece of their minds). As if that wasn't bad enough, my sis in law and my in laws were up visiting my bro in law D and his girlfriend because her parents were in town. So my inlaws were meeting her parents for the first time when they had to make a quick exit to try to go bail dumbass out of jail, six hours away from here. My sis in law is supposed to be here at a training for work, not back there dealing with dumbass and his stupidity.
Lastly, my sis had a 10 hour layover here in town, so we got to hang out for the day. It was so good to see her and for her to spend time with my girls. We spent most of our time talking about how bad things are with her husband and how she's ready to get a divorce. It's so heartbreaking to know how much he's changed and how he's such a different person now. It's so sad that she's now facing the end of her marriage and the end the dreams she had - I know having kids was her biggest dream and now she's 34, and starting all over.
I'm just so tired. I feel like crap. I am just so sad. I'm so sad that people I care about hurt this much. I'm scared to death about J. There's just so much right now, that I'm having trouble even processing it all.

Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and hoping that things start to get better. I'll be keeping J in my prayers. BIG HUGS!
Lindsay, honey I am so sorry this all came at once. I hope that things w/ J work out and it isn't too serious. ((HUGS)) I am also sorry about your SIL and your sister, it is hard to sit back and watch people you love hurt like that. I hope things start to look up for you soon. Call me anytime!
Hi Lindsay, I went through something very similar to your DH when I was in college. I had right ventricular tachycardia (fast heartbeat) and had to wear heart monitors for long periods of time before my doctor figured out exactly what it was. Luckily, dangerous arrythmias are rare, and most arrythmias are easily dealt with with medicine or with an electrophysiology and ablation (a catheter is sent up a vein to your heart, and radio frequency is used to burn the bit of the heart that is causing the irregular beat). I ended up having three ablations before mine was fixed, but I've ben perfect ever since. The worst case scenario is a pace maker, which is also not a big deal in the long run. Let me know if you ever want to chat or want reassurance from someone who's been there because I know it's all scary to think about. (((hugs)))
Shawn had the same thing as J. We both thought he was having a heart attack because out of the blue his heart would race and/or skip beats. It freaked us out. Turns out he has axiety and even though *we* didnt' think he was anxious, his body was, for some reason. Shawn saw a Qigong healer (Chinese medicine doctor) and he showed Shawn pressure points to press on his hands that help to slow his heartrate. I hope you get answers soon!
I am sorry about all the other shit going on. What a headache! We're all here for you!
I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. It is a scary thing. You know its funy, last year, I had only heard of anxiety and never really paid much attention to it. Now I can tell you everything about it. Brad has been dealing with it for almost 5 months now, and nothing has worked. They arent as bad as they used to be, but he says the feeling never goes away. And when it gets bad,...its so scary how helpless you feel.
I will be praying for YOU and him....and please let me know if there is anything you need!
