I’ll say, straight up that I expect YTA. I’m terrified of dealing with my health issues, even though I know they’re serious.

I justify it by saying that I’m only one person, dealing with a lot. My son has a lot of special needs and I’m trying to be there for a lot of people.

The truth is that I have a 9 yo son with special needs and a husband who absolutely adores me. My husband is really scared that I’m not going to the doctor.

I know I should go but I don’t. It’s always been bad news and I’m not sure I can function if the doctors decide nothing can be done anymore.

However, if I could be treated, my life would be better- not just for me,but for my husband, 9 yo and my21 yo.

The problem is that I’m letting my fear keep me from accepting and dealing with serious health issues, even though it could affect my family 

TLDR health issues that could be treated but letting fears stop me, even if it means pain to my loved ones
