Deep Breaths

"My dear," the mater of fact doctor softened her tone, "You need to lower your stress-level or you are going to be in here every month."
Stress, I went through all your medical tests just for you to tell me I was stressed? I could have told you I was stressed. Unfortunatly, I realize there is merit to her statements but I am so overwhelmed right now that I can't imagine taking a break. I know I am holding on really tightly but I don't know what else to do right now. My body has always processed the emotions that I didn't know what to do with and this was no exception but unless I want to make ER visits a regular occurance somethings got to give.
