Scrambled

My brain is pretty scrambled these days. With me working 4 or fewer days a week and hubby not only missing work but accruing hospital bills left and right, My mind has been in panic mode overdrive.
My blood pressure has reached the "OMG GO TO A HOSPITAL NOW" range, and I'm trying to fend it off withing adding my own medical bills to the unending slew of outgoing payments.
My brain feels a lot like this picture. All shattered and missing most of its broken peices.
I've had people tell me recently that I need to "love myself" and not give all I've got to the boys in my house.
I need to take up meditation again. I need to start going for a walk every day again.
What other self love can someone with no money and no alone time give themselves?

That only SORT of works. You know how in zombie movies they lock themselves in a buildling and get surrounded by the scratching moaning hoards. Me locking myself in the potty has the same ending lol

If you ask for help with the bill at the hospital they will help, they still have programs for the poor. You CAN get food stamps.
I am not telling you to love yourself, I telling you that blood pressure that high will kill you, so get it down or die and someone else will have your little boys, or things could be worst, you stroke out and are in a wheelchair and your boys wiping your face because your face is F`ed up and you slobber and you become a burden, I wonder who will wash dishes then?
So if you are "mentioning me" from another discussion on facebook, Yes I want you to love you and yes I want you to live and watch the boys grow old.
Sometimes you make me wanna come over there and slap you then hug you!

I wasn't talking about you actually. Two of the ladies I work with were giving me a "you need to love yourself" speech.

It would be great if you could go back to meditation. All the burdens we have can easily be lifted by relaxing our mind and body. It surprises me sometimes when I stop myself from stressing, that I could find solution so easily.

Thank you. Just too much bad stuff happened all at once recently. Surely it has to end soon.
