I am sorry you are under lot of stress GG.
Worrying about inheriting a disorder is a real concern. I have rheumatoid arthritis, and just a while back, my mother also has been diagnosed with it, so I am also terrified of it being passed down to my kid. But the way I console myself is, it is still quite many years down the line - maybe even 20, so pretty much they will invent some nice drug for it.
I am sure you can console yourself too if you think along that line.
Plus in my religion we believe in Karma, so if we pray, then the bad Karma goes away, so that somehow gives me hope also.
Remember what you told me once, if you repeat a mantra again and again, then it calms down your mind. It might be worthwhile to try it during this period of stress yourself. It really helps me calm down quite a bit.
