high blood pressure!

I don't notice these symptoms during the day, but at night when I go to bed my heart is beating so hard and so fast I can't sleep...  if it settles down, and I roll over (or move at all) my heart starts beating really fast a and loud again!

It was SOO bad the other night I took my blood pressure etc.  and it was 152 over 95 with a heartbeat of 91 per min!  I took it again last night, and it was lower 132 over 72 with a heartbeat of 89 per min.! this morning is was 132 over 71 and a lower heartbeat of 65 per min.

!!!???

very appropriate timing for the post! but scary!  I am at the very bottom (well close enough)... I am 58 yrs old, I have no job, no security and my health isn't good.  If my husband was to die, I'd be homeless. AND his health isn't good at all (he's had strokes, etc) I am extremely panicked and stressed about my life and life in general, I'm frozen and overwhelmed.  I feel like I'm stuck...
  • I am definitely  NOT "living in line with your values and beliefs?"
  • I am NOT "the person you want to be?" 
Ashley stated that: "We are all a work in progress. It is important to reflect and examine along the way to ensure our priorities are where they should be."
  • I'm sooo depressed about my failures in life, I dwell on them 24/7... I can't move forward or visualize a future at all

Ashley asked:
  1. What is priority for you to look at now?
    - to stop or slow down my self medicating with alcohol
  2. What issue is holding you back?
    - not being able to cut back or stop my self medicating with alcohol
  3. When it comes to your past; what have you learned from your failures?
    - I have learned that I have destroyed my life and my children's lives
  4. What gift did you gain from them? 
    - hmmm...  don't see any "gift" from such extreme failures and damage
