stressed and weight climbing....HELP!
 

Ok, so I have been gaining weight for about the last month or so to a total of 5 pounds..........the meds seem to be fine, no symptoms, but I have stress coming out my ears.......mom in the hospital with heart failure, so she is 82 and we are trying to get her into a nursing home, not that easy, lots of runarounds there and to top it all off she is complaining to me with phone calls at least 5 times a day from the room is cold to the pills are gonna kill her. I try to reason with her, even have told her that she is making me ill but she doesn't listen and then says that she has it worse........I went to see my dr and he says it is stress, but to take a walk etc...........easier said then done, its still in your mind never gone the conversations with her, drs, etc...........HELP! Any suggestions to help me as trying to reason with her is not working........I have cut it back to seeing her only every 3rd day, but she still calls and I finally had to lie to her and tell her that I have a job during the day so she doesn't call in the daytime, but then makes up for it at night!!!
