My visit to the E.R....

Doesn’t work that way with a small business, as soon as you turn down work or can’t get it done it’s on to the next company and you will never get that business back from that person.

Yeah, I get that - I really do; but OP isn't the one signing the checks so he needs to shut it off at quitting time. Just because you have that millstone around your neck, doesn't mean he should, too. Whether a labor of love or desperation to thrive, that's a small business owner's cross to bear.

Also, being a SB owner is not an excuse to live for work and only for work. If a work-life balance isn't currently possible, consider figuring how to get 10% closer to it by (x_date).

My dad says that I worry too much about everything and hold other people and work at too high of importance in my life, and don't sleep well enough.

How was your childhood? Stressful? Parents still together?

"Locus of control". A lot of people have issues when they can't control everything in their environment. That's a big part of what they're seeing with SOF guys with PTS. It commonly manifests when they aren't in control of things.

I know you've had a lot of stress recently.

Has he ever broken down what his dad does for the company? Sounded like op is in charge of field operations while his dad does the books.

My business is an offshoot of my dads, always rode with him and started “helping” when I was 8 or so. When you get used to it it’s not bad but pretty much every day for the last 30 years I’ve been “working” in one capacity or another.

Your brother a good worker like you? My one brother is but my other one is a lazy pos, when I worked with my dad I would try and fire him every week. He’s fine if he has someone working with him but if you let him work by himself he never gets anything done and half assess everything.

He's a pretty good worker, we rarely work on projects together. Ours skillsets are proficient at different parts of the work that our company does.

I start feeling weird if my heart beat gets up around 100bpm. It has been doing that since the start of this thread but has been getting less severe as time has passed.

I'm super sympathetic to that... but, I also know you don't want to drive your daily driver with 2 cylinders down. You are a doer, you don't want to be limited to 100 bpm.

gotta find a path to being healthy.

Maybe I should?

neurologist has to be approved by my insurance, I guess. Going to talk to the insurance company tomorrow and see what the deal is.

It’s actually cheaper for me to go to the dr out of pocket than for us to use insurance. Normal gp not specialist, I had forgotten my card so they billed me. Somehow I got on the no insurance list, 85% discount off everything insurance is only 70%.

I was looking at 6-9 months to see one locally. But I called every office covered by insurance about an hour south in a bigger city and got in within a month. Hopefully you can find another option, it was worth the effort and long drives to and from the neuro to find a medication that solved my issue for $6 a month.

Hoping that I can work something like that out.
 
Once you find something that works, tell your pcp so they can prescribe it instead of the neuro. Thats what I’m doing now that the insurance year has restarted. My neuro visits were billing at $400 per visit last year but thank god I had hit my out of pocket max mid year so it was all “free”. My neuro wants me to have reoccurring appointments every quarter. Yeah, no thanks. I’ll get the meds from my pcp and be happy without spending all the money.
