I do not want to sound mean, but this does seem like a bit of an extreme reaction, and you may need help, outside of this board, to relax and get perspective. I see it a lot in my line of work where people worry themselves into the hospital over things they cannot control.
I have GAD and PTSD, neither of which is very helpful right now.

"Worry" is my middle name.



I have meds and a support dog.
Usually that's enough but this is a tough one to deal with.

[the average doctor is *not* going to be terribly sympathetic because you're stressing over a lost (gasp!) snake]

You guys are pretty much my only support group for this 'issue'.
