I just learned that my doctors office doesn't have record of my making payments. You can imagine how this makes me feel when I know I have been paying every month and had thought my balance was paid off.
It's even worse because I'm at work and I can't go through my paperwork to prove that I have made them till I get home.
I'm an instant gratification kinda person. Meaning, it drives me crazy to have to wait till I get home to look.
This feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. Even though I know that when I get home I can find what I need, it still cartwheels me backwards into the past and all the struggles I thought were behind me.
This is my greatest fear, helplessness. Even though rationally I know I'll be fine. Fear unfurls in my belly like the waking of a terrible beast. It's tendrils stretching through my body, shaking my hands, making my breaths short and fast. My heartbeat mimics panic, a quick tattoo of beats pressing against my head, pounding in my ears. My eyes droop with the weight of tears and my smile is false and painted.
Joy today is a remote concept. Anxiety my bread and butter. I want so much to be strong and capable, but how can I be when one little misunderstanding sends me into the throes of despair?
I'm so tired of fighting, so tired of shouldering it all. So weary of tears.
Everyone thinks I'm strong.
Everyone is wrong, I just pretend I am.
Maybe if I pretend long enough, I'll eventually believe it.

Dealing with doctors' accounting/billing is one of the most stressful things I know. And when they act as if they're incapable of error - argh! Hope you find some peaceful moments and the strength you need to carry you through until you can get them straightened out.
