Leah, from a non-stroker I can tell you that stress and anxiety is a big part of my life too. I too suffer from unreal expectatons and think I can do much more than I can. I still try to do what I used to do at 42 at 62, silly me.

I can understand what you go through when you go away as I think Ray does too. The good thing is that he blames me not himself so he doesn't have stress, I am glad of that as I would say that is what caused his first stroke.

Ray also has the startling effect of loud noise too, for him it is a processing issue as he is often confused by two things happening at once, like the kettle boiling just as the rain starts. He can handle things one at a time.

Hope that it all works out for you now.

(((Hugs))) from Sue.

Leah,

I think that the expectations are what hinder our enjoyment of the moment. I want to travel with william, but, I am afraid of the things that you shared. Too much anxiety of time constraints and being out of our comfort zone. I can operate well at home. I don't feel that I would enjoy myself because of the stress and anxiety at this time. I so love to spend the day at home and relax.

Take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing.

There is such a fine line between pushing yourself too much and not enough.

Leah:

expectation brings on unhappiness. I realized if I look forward tob some event & if does not go my way I crash land so slowly I am learning to do my best & leave rest on God don't keep any expectaction on anyone including myself.

I hope you feel better & just flow with life rather than fighting against current. tomorrow will be better day.
