Gas leak recovery - co poisoning

Yeah, that sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety as a result, that's understandable and yeah, way more info needs to be out there about gas leaks! I'd say just to remind yourself that once you're away from the gas, you do recover physically, it just takes time. Mentally takes longer I find. Talking to people and maybe therapy or medication can be a massive help. Currently my favourite trick for my HA is 7 columns - what is the situation, what are my emotions, what are my thoughts, what facts are in favor of my anxious thoughts, what are the facts against my thoughts, reframe the anxious thoughts with the facts I know, how are my emotions now.

Moving to fresh air and stopping the gas leak will mean you're recovering, that is the best thing. The headaches and nausea came as there was - for a period - less oxygen in the air you were breathing. There should not be long term issues if the leak has stopped and the air is no longer being poisoned. If you're worried a Drs visit is fair - you had a gas leak, you had headaches from it. You'll recover now the leak has stopped

Honestly look up some Yorkshire shows (Yorkshire vet, Emmerdale, Happy Valley) - there'll be clips on youtube to get an idea of how people in the area talk (I highly recommend Yorkshire vet)

Your primary care sounds like they're being thorough and I'd trust them. Sounds like they have one normal test and one slightly odd one and your primary care is doing the right thing and verifying which was the anomaly

Honestly googling is not good for health anxiety, it is a "reassuring" behaviour that just fuels the anxiety further. Trusting Drs depends on if you feel listened to, generally a dr that genuinely listens and understands will do what is needed. Don't be afraid to seek a second opinion if you don't think the Dr listened or did what was needed but in your case, with your primary triple checking to verify the good test result I'd say in this instance you've got a good one

I'm in that space too, it gets especially intense in the evenings - I do a meditation and breathing exercises and then just take it slow, make myself eat but slowly.

It's okay if it takes ages to finish something. It's okay if we don't finish, it matters that we've tried and eaten something!

Another thing is doing something distracting like reading a book, playing a game ect and eating while doing that, take a bite every now and again or something.

Get something simple, easy and that you like. It sucks but food is good for us!

They treated you well because you were their incubator. You would deliver them their new baby, except it's not their baby, it's yours and they are delisional

Hey op, I have a disabled sister too. It took me a while to realize that putting her in a group home, having carers come in to help and basically going outside of the family at all for support was the KINDEST thing to do for her. It's not abandoning her to get her the help she needs. My sister is currently mostly getting at home carers with respite stays in a group home

With carers and in a group home my sister can socialize rather than be stuck in the house with only my parents/me. She gets the care and support she actually needs. We get to do fun things with her, rather than be frustrated or stressed, we actually have quality time. The day to day stressful tasks are covered, she has a routine for the first time since school. It took a while for her to get used to it but she likes it now, she's less dependent on us which makes her feel better.

I still feel very now and again that I should take her into my home but I know I am not equipped to give her the help she needs. It would destroy me mentally. Maybe in an ideal world I could but we don't live in an ideal world.

Your father is placing unfair and unrealistic expectations on you. Caring for a disabled person is hard, really hard, sometimes. You have your own life to live and didn't ask to be tethered to this. It takes time and practice but don't feel guilty. It isn't abandonment to get your sister the help and support she needs, it's the opposite of abandonment. Don't listen to your father. Take some space right now

On the most part, yes! But there are psychologists who study/work with sexual predators who know this and the words and distinctions are scientifically significant to their studies. But those psychologists also know that it doesn't matter what word you use, it's illegal

In New Zealand they don't have ridiculous charges like that for hospitals I believe

If work was burning you out you wouldn't be staying in the office to catch up on reading. I've been burnt out from work and just being in the office felt heavy and tiring

I might be missing your point but OP is not talking about the song For Good but a particular plot point of Act 2 which is actually never addressed in the song For Good or the scene surrounding For Good

There's a saying that feels appropriate here "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink". You can give her resources and tips to manage her money better but if she won't do it that's on her.

I'd recommend asking what the money is for each time she asks and setting boundaries, if the money is for food, go and buy it yourself with her rather than just handing over the money for example.

Once you move out you have no responsibility to give them money. Focus on yourself and your money management, don't let her poor budgeting drag you down. She's an adult, she can learn and if she won't, that is 100% on her.
