Hi Tracey
Now is not the time to be worried that you don't have a calm mind--that would be so unusual it would be creepy! It's normal to be red lining. Our bodies are weird things, all that adrenaline roaring around in the beginning is a very natural response to a very threatening situation. Acceptance of your diagnosis takes some effort and some of us struggle, personally I'm rubbish at it. Your family issues on top of your own are a huge load but we are stronger than we realize. Once you start treatment you will have something else to focus on and that feeling of pointlessly treading water abates a bit.
it's bad news for both you and your sister but you'll start to figure out how the system works (knowledge most of us would be probably prefer to be ignorant of) which will eventually make the whole mess a little less confusing. You will have time to concentrate on your relaxation techniques later.
Best of luck.
